OF the returns from the O'Brien pre-
cinct the TRIBUNE says: Three returns
were brought from Apple Creek-ope
from the 10th siding representing IS
votes, n from O'Brien's representing
PSI votes and one from another point
representing 6 votes. The last is no
doubt a genuine return and should have
been counted. The return from O'Brien's
was a fraud on the face of it., and every
member of the board knew it. It WIS
manufactured by one of the board of
ca n vassers. By this fraud, Singiser for
register of deeds. Donnelly for Sheriff,
Bowen for Judge of probate, Ostland for
county commissioner and Edeerly for
assessor are counted out. The board of
canvassers were John P. Dunn, Dan
Williams and j. S. Carvelle. Dunn
favored the throwing out of both the
OBrien and 18th siding returns. Dan
Williams has always enjoyed a reputa.
ito n for honesty and weare 10th to be.
lleve that he intended to do wrong by
permitting the outrage. He will, in the
future, however, be compelled to share
his portion of the odium.".. TRIBUNE
