The Saunerer has not been approach ed

so determined TO misrepresent the true state

use of hay, straw rags and timbers' As the
water in the river falls with the approach

Judging by the returns received Hell

few votes which did not get into the

pie as could not reach the polls for

Butte, Nov. 6.-After spending half
a million dollars in this county, $4,000
of which was spent to-day, Anaconda
only succeeded in getting 1000 more
votes than Helena out OF a total of
somewhere near 10000. Early in the
day the Anaconda managers started In
the work OF corrupting voters. They
had six places where purchaseable vot-
ers congregated and they were voted in
droves all day, until five o'clock, at
that time either the money gave out
or the Anaconda people concluded they
would not buy enough votes in the last
hour to save the day. Their lack of
confidence in the final result was ex-
hausted about four o'clock. At that
hour representative Of the Anaconda
people made an offer to bet w. A. Clark
$50, 900 on theresult. Mr.. Clark imme-
diately took IL up Offering a certified
check. This was refused, and then Mr..
Clark moved to put the cash In the
State Savings bank. This was de-
INJURED to also, and the Anaconda peo-
pie asked for time. They were given
thirty minutes, and up 10 the time the

showed a majority or large vote for

returns bulletined up TO IL p. m.
