Judge Aldrich says that in the matter of
the Beaufort county contested election
cases he decides that the persons who were
declared elected by the returning board and
hold the governors commission are entitled
to their offices. The attorneys for the re-

regard an appeal as e StperSededs in case

longer in office, as the governor had re-
voked their appointments. But late in the

men in citizens suits for TIE purpose of de-
tecting anything like gambling, and before
the two sports, who gave their names as
DuBo g and Foley, got in much work they
were bagged and lodged in the guard house.
Their manner of action was to come out
on the street and select their man, ask him
if he was q judge Of horse flesh, and to
please step in the back yard of store and
give his opinion of horse they wished to
purchase for their sister, and when they got
the unwary countryman back there game
of chance was suggested and the man
| duped out of his money. But this did not
work and they were fined by the mayor and
required to leave by the next train.
