The Eureka CONTEXT
ROLAND LAKIN.
County Clerk.

Hon. Edwin Tucker of Eureka was in
the city to-day and was interviewed by
our reporter on the subject of the election
in Eureka, concerning which the follow
ing facts were learned:
The contest between Hart, the. demo-
cratic candidate for the legislature, and
Clogston. the republican candidate for the
same Office. was very clese, SO much so In
fact, that the actual result Ii now in doubt
aud can only be determined by official
count. Hart claims that there we're Illegal
votes Gait in favor of his opponent, and if
the result of the official count is to give
his opponent the majority he intends TO
contest the election, and with that inten-
ton sent for w. W. Scott of this city to
act for him. What the final result will be
can only he surmised.

No Returns and None Likely to be
Very Soon Made.
Mysterious Disappearance Of the Bal
lot Box and Ballots.
The Queer Way Our NelghbOrs Hold
their Elections.
A Free-for-AIl, in Which Everybody
Votes as he Pleases,
And as Often as He Pleases, With No
One in Charge.

News from the Rapids to. day Is to the
effect that The contest down there has de-
veloped into considerable Of q muddle.
According 10 The story Of q resident
of that place, as told TO q NEWS
reporter, great difficulty was encountered
In obtaining judges and clerks OF election
all being so deeply interested in the con-
test that they would leave the ballot box
ana 60 on the outside to electioneer for
their faVoTite candidate, and on several
occasions leaving the poll box entirely at
the mercy OF the crowd. This having &C.
cured on several occasions, the
town trustee took 1t on himself to guard
the polls, until he was objected to as being
q candidate for office himself, when, it is
said, he picked up the box, put 1t under
his arm and walked of with IL.
After beng absent some time, il Is said,
he was persuaded to return and q new
board was selected to take charge. But,
Is with the former one, the contest be-
coming close, they also left the box, and
again was the township trustee forced TO
take charge, and finally again put the box
under his arm and left the polls.
Again was the difficulty patched up,
and another board selected, and In the
evening all, both republicans and demo-
crats, agreed to count and all to abide
by the result. But hardly had they COM
menced . count, with one republican and
one democrat as clerks, when fraudulent
counting was charged. This was tided
over for the time being, until the same
party was again charged with marking up
too fast for the number Of tickets, and,
finally, We understand. some one picked
up the box and walked away with IL.
And thus the STAIR stands as last heard
from.
What the outcome If all this will be no
one knows, but It Is more than probable
the entire number of votes cast will have
TO be thrown out, or q new election or
dered.
Reports are also In circulation to the
effect that trouble has also been had at the
Eureka election, down on the Howard
