Figures Difficult to Obtain on the Result
in Cook County.

in Cook County.
CHICAGO. H.. Ncv. 5.-Ncyer in the his
tory of Illinois have the election returns
throughout the state been so complicated
by scratching or local issues. Even in
Cook County the count had not been com
pleted at $3.50 this morning. The returns
throughout the state are very meagre. and
although the local newspapers. the Asso-
ciated Press and the telegraph company
have made a great effort to obtain accrl-
rate results. as yet nothing but approx
mate results can be had.
The latest indications from Cook County
indicate that LaWler tbcm.l for sheriff.
will have small majority in the entire
county although this is not absolutely de
termined. Ii Is claimed by the Republican
state committee that TAYLOR, Adams and
Mason viii be elected. although Masons

non they also clam 10y a small majority.

Of sudden she pushed Della
Brown over the side of the bridge. and
then grabbed Nellie May Connors and
hurled her into the precipice below.
Nellie was instantly killed. but for

the terrible tale as related. Sarah start

Akron, ten feet high, and, arriving at
