ABSOLUTELY PURE
sao,h-r c~o.,,....

Fred wilson began q suit In the
District Cour. Saturday afternoon to
contest the election Of Commissioner
McAfee in the SorsherD District.
The complaint IS quite a roluminous
document. but, sinmerel down. the
plaintid contends that at the general
election held on Nov. 9th. he received
lI9 votes for County Commissioner
for the short term. all but FIVE OF
which we're legal votes, and that de
PENDANT McAfee received 100 votes
for said Office twenty-eight Of which
were illegal.
The plaintiff alleges that the five
ballots counted for him as stated
above and the tventy-eight counted
for the defendant we're illegal for the
reason that all OF said ballots had GER
tain names, words and marks written
upon them by the respective electors
casting the same, or by some one on
their behalf. which is contrary to the
Australian ballot Law.
The complaint states that these il.
legal ballots we're cast and counted
in the following precincts: Column
bia- five for plaintiff and six for de-
PENDANT; North Fork, eight for de
PENDANT; Mountain City, fourteen for
defendant From these allegations
the plaintiff claims hat he received
ia legal votes and that the defendant
received but TO- legal votes. giving
him a plurality OF twelve over the de.
PENDANT.
Wherefore plaintiff prays that sum
mons be issued and a time and place
be fixed to hear and determine the
contest and pra!s judgment tina. he is
duly elected to said office. and for
costs.
Commissioner Wilson has also pc.
titioned the Board OF Commissioners
for a recount Of the ballots cast for
Commissioner in the Columbia. North
Fork and Mountain City precincts.
The ground upon which the ecouni
is asked FOR Is that five illegal ballots
were counted for him in Columbia
and twenty-eight were counted for
McAfee III Columbia. North Fork
and Mountain City, as set forth
above.
The petitioner therefore prays the
Board OF County Commissioners to
Immediately proceed to recount the
ballots for the office OF County Com.
missioner for the short term in the
precincts above named and when said
count is completed to declare the re
suit thereof and issue a certificate Of
election to the party entitled there.

The only alternative now left 10 the
