caused peculiar nuddle in the Fifth
supervisor district of Webster county.
Walter Irvine, the democratic nominee
for supervisor, failed to file his noun
nation credentials in time TO get his
name on the Official ballot His oppo-
nent. W. V. Manchester, was thought
TO have a walk away until it was dis
covered that through clerical error
