| When nominations were decided in
order the following candidates were placed
! in nomination for sheriff: Ben Royse, DR..
{! Worrell, Henry Schad, o. p. Massey and
l. L. Ault, Everybody expected a hard
| fight and nobody was disappointed. 1t
was great contest and the best efforts of
the candidates aud their friends were put
| forth. The first vote stood as follows:
| Royse rs. Worrel l. Schgd 50, Massey G.,
Ault u. Nobody having a majority, the
efforts of the candidates were doubled
particularly when it was announced that
Ike Ault had withdrawn from the race.
| There were twenty four votes released by
Ault, and there was pretty hot scramble
for them. Candidates and heutenants
hurried to and fro among the delegates,
buttonhoiing here and there and every
where. The next ballot stood: Royse %,
Royss had more strength on this ballot than
Schad % and Massey 80. The tect that
| Schad surprised nearly everybody and the
matter became exciting. Park Mas
sey now had the balance of
| power and dozen fellows besieged him TO
throw it to one or the other candidates on
| the third ballot. Massey shook his head
and stated that he was in the race in his
own interest only. When the First ward
in the first ballot WAS called it cast a solid
vote Of "a for Massey and this was follow
ed by solid vote of q in the Second ward
! for Schad. The Third ward was mixed
but the Fourth cast 20 votes on every
ballot for Schad. Ben Royse got solid
delegation of twelve in the Fifth ward and
in the country precincts his column of
figures grew like grape vine, long and
slim, but they counted all the same. On
the third ballot Royse got votes IN twenty
seven precincts, Schad in sixteen precincts
| and Massey in ten precincts. When the
vote was announced Roysa had 9S, Schad
go and Massey 50. giving Royse a gain of
five votes and Massey a loss Of four. The
fourth ballot was called and then
! everybody looked for combine sure,
but the First ward cast its "a solid votes
for massey. the Second its q solid for
Schad and this was an indication that the
expected combine had not yet material
lied. Candidates and their friends were
all excited and they watched the an
nouncement of the vote of each delegation
like hawks. Minnesota came over solid
TO Royse and when the vote was an
nounced he had lO2, Schad "a and Massey
40; "a gain of four for Royse, two for Schad
and loss of six for Massey.
The fifth ballot was called for and there
was great commotion. a dozen of Schad's
friends fiocked around Massey aud began
importuning him for help. but Massey
shook his head. Ben Royse was dis
turbed for he was little afraid of trade
all the time. He felt better. however,
when the First ward was called and the
chairman in an emphatic italic voice an-
nounced twenty-four solid votes for
Massey. The Second ward followed with
twenty seven solid votes for Schad. Royss
gained few in the Third ward, while the
Fourth ward still continued to give
twenty-nine solid votes for Schad A few

the vote was announced it stood as fol-
lows: Royse los, Schad 81 and Massey AZ.

Things became very exciting now as the
sixth ballot was called for. The dreaded
combination was again looked for, but
when the First ward was called it was
still solid for Massey. and so were the
Second and Fourth for Schad. The Third
ward threw eighteen votes TO Royse and
yell aud a wboop went ND. Great was the
excitement ut this point, and everybody
looked To see some pretty flank move
ments made. Bat they were disap-
pointed. aud when the result was an
nounced Royse had liz. Schad 81 and
Massey ~ Royse's grapevine of figures
were gradually growing. as they did from
the start, wEi:e the others were losing
ground and slipping backward inch by

ballot" said Jadge Wall and the excite
ment went up another notch or two. An
other crowd Of Schad boomers gathered
around Massey, and among the crowd was
