Andrew Price, the democratic candidate, by
q good majority over II. c. Minor. republi-
can.
Deputy Sheriff Jacobs, republican, was
shot at the polls at Franklin. The only par
ticulars are from Chairman Moore of the
Democratic committe. He says; Jacobs
has been troublesome and oticous at the
polls. Neither the commissioners nor by
ISLANDERS knew he was deputy sheriff. No
announcement to that effect had been made.
He drew his pistol and made murderous
assault, but vas shot down before he could
fire. The wound is not necessarily fatal
No disturbances whatever followed.
