A drunken row between two ne

On Wednesday night after the
boxes and tally sheets from the vari-
GUS precincts had been brought into
Colfax aud deposited in the clerks
office, some men on drunken spree
entered the court house and took out
the ballot boxes, broke them open
and burned the ballots. Fortunately
the tally sheets and commissioners
statements were in secure place aud
escaped. The act seems to have been
wanton foolshness. committed with
ont purpose in a spirit Of pure devil
try. Sixteen of the boxes were
broken open, including the ward
boxes as we'll MS the parish, the onl,
boxes preserved intact being the ward
box at Bruce's. the ward and parish
boxes Of ward 3. the ward and parish
boxes Of ward 4, and the ward box OF

punished. and We sincerely hope the
rascals who perpetrated it may BE-
ferreted ont and brought to punish

Since the above was put ia type we
are led to suspect that the destroying
OF the boxes and ballots was part
OF systematic programme. tan,
