The Count Completed.

The board of county commissioners
completed their work Tuesday as a
canvassing board, and the complete and
official returns are given in another
place in this issue so that the politicians
may cut it out and paste in their hats
or scrap books. 1t tells a rather singu-
lar story, and it has kept the politicians
figuring ever since election to tell just
how it happened. In precincts where
many OF the candidates considered them
selves particularly strong, the returns
show that they were weak, and in other
precincts the reverse Of this proposition
was true. Some Of the returns are in
explainable on any logical theory, except
that the voters had determined to upset
the calculations Of the political mathe-
maticians.
The board OF canvassers completed
their work Tuesday forenoon. The
various candidates affected by the final
count we're either present themselves or
we're represented by friends during the
count. Some of them were not quite
satisfied with the figures, and a recount
may be asked for through the courts.
In the case Of James Donovan and j. A.
Harris. a change Of a few votes would
make a difference IN the result, and it is
understood that the official figures do
not agree with those which Mr.. Dono-
van had obtained from other sources.
The fact that authentic returns could
not be obtained from four precincts till
caused a good deal Of dissatisfaction
J where the result was close, and 1t has
been many times suggested that the
election law should be amended, making
it the duty Of the judges Of election
to send a certified copy o.
the returns by the fret con
veyance to the county clerl
aud post another in the precinct o
r which they are judges.
In the table published elsewhere tn
r vote Of Maiden, prohibition candidate
for congress, is omitted, but as he onl.
r got thirteen votes in Cascade county, h
can scarcely be considered az q factor il
this county.

A YOUTHFUL vAGABOND.
He Is Only IS Years Old But Leads the
Life of u Tramp.

He Is Only IS Years Old But Leads the
Life of a Tramp.
He was an innocent and shy-appearing
little fellow, but he looked the judge in
the eye and told bis story with apparent
frankness. His name is Sammy Daniels
and his father is a ~saloonkeeper at Sand
Coulee, named Thomas Daniels. Sammy
was brought in from Belt Wednesday by
Deputy Sheriff Mcleod, and it is not his
first appearance before Judge Benton.
A little less than a year ago he was
charged with a whole catalogue of evil
dolngs. He had run away from home
accompanied by a stub-tailed dog and
the boy and the dog had visited Havre,
Helena and other places, tramping
through the day and sleeping in hay
stacks and barns at night, and subsisting
on what he could get from charitable
people. He finally settled down at Belt,
and conceiving a grudge against E. r.
Clingan for refusing to allow him to
occupy his barn at night, he threat
ened to set it afire. A haystack
fire about this time caused Mr.. Clingan
to have the boy arrested and
sent before Judge Benton. At that
time he was accompanied by his faithful
dog, and he told the judge so pitiful a
story about his wanderirgs and the
difficulty he had in getting sufficient
grub for his dog and himself that the
Judge refrained from sending him to the
school as he at fret intended, and
sent for his father. The boy gave at
that time as his reason for leaving home
the fact that his father was in the habit
OF cruelty whipping him. This statement
the father denied, and promised to take
the boy, who was then only II years old,
home and treat him kindly. 1t seems
that he did not stay long, for Deputy
Sheriff Mcleod brought him in We'd
once more, stating that he had
been hanging around that camp for
some time past and getting to be quite a
He was dressed in rags and
his bare legs showed through the great
rents in his pants. This time he was
without his dog, and said that a man in
Belt had stolen it from him. He had
the same story as before to tell about his
running away from home because his
beat him cruelty. Judge Benton
placed him in charge Of the sheriff and
for his father. The court will
probably send the boy to the reform
this time.

which WORKS are anXiously looking. That
cancellations have been heavy Is certain,
