Primary Election,

Yesterday evening the Democratic primary
election came off in this county. The result, at
the time of going to press last night, was not
known. Who will get the delegation of course
we cannot say. 1t may be divided between La
than, Denver and Nugent, or one of the candi-
dates may get all of them. Weller will get no
delegate from Shasta. While between the
three candidates who are in the fight in this
county, we have a personal preference, yet we
will not complain at the success of either.
