The Elections.@The election

The EIecti0ns.-The elections
throughout the county passed off with
very little enthusiasm, so far as We can
learn. w. z. Lyon for Associate
Justice, having ne competitor, his was
an easy walk over the course. The
County Judgeship elicited some warmth
at the several precincts, but generally
there was little enthusiasm. The
slo Sness with which the returns have
come in, prevent our giving the vote
of the several polls. Lyon gets the
unanimous vote of the county. Ii.
Hayden is elected County Judge, over
E. B. Rossier by majority of nearly
two hundred. ~ ~
In Centralia, 8. B. Coleman is
chosen Mayor, over r. G. Lyon.
The following Alderman are elected
in Centralia for the several Wards:
1st Ward, Fred Haertel. I'd Ward,
Frank Garrison. Sd Ward, A. Crosse.
The Supervisors elected in the sever
, al Wards are. LIST Ward, O. Gordon,
"a Ward, r. G. Moore. Sd Ward, &.

From the Towns we get the following.
Auburndale re-elects her officers, az
does Dexterville. there being no OPP
position ticket at the latter poll
! Lincoln we have not heard from, but
presume there will be change in the
Craftsmanship of the Board.
! Marshfeld elects E. G. Renne, over
Louis Rivers, for Supervisor.
Port Edwards re-elecss Supervisor
John Edwards.
Remington shows her loyalty by
repudiating Remington second time
and re-electing J. Joy
Rudolph elects Dan Rain.
Saratoga elects o. B. Hamilton, over
Jack McCarty, by one vote
Seneca elects E. A. Bentley for
Supervisor over John Ray by four
votes.
Sigel REFLECTS James Rouhan.
Wood elects T. w. Pitts.
The personnel of the new Board Of
Supervisors, we think, is such as will
give very general satisfaction. Some
good men have been beaten, but good
men have been chosen In their stead
The Death of David Lunt. = Mr..
j. Z. Lunt returned FROM Deadwood
last Saturday, whittier he went upon
summons by telegram. to visit his
brother who was reported but just
alive. Since Mr.. Lunts departure, a
paragraph in the Chielgo Times some
what cleared up the mystery of Mr.
Lunt's condition, but the Intelligence
communicated upon the return of j.
f. Lunt differs somewhat from the
Times recital. The facts are these :.
David Lunt was sitting in a room in
in Deadwood city last January in com
pany with the Marshal of the city
when noted desperate entered the
room, who had threatened to shoot the
Marshal for some alleged provocatfons
and drawing revolver, discharged it:
The ball passed through the hat of Che
Marshal, and struck Mr.. Lunt in the
| forehead inflicting a severe wound.
Medical aid was summoned and the
bali extricated, but the wound proved
fatal causing his death before Mr.
Lunt arrived. The murderer has been
arrested in San Francisco, and I'M
doubtedly will suffer the extreme pen
atty of the law.
