The recount in the contested election

tervenor, and Baumann VS.. Berkey was
continued in the Superior Court yester-
day, Judge Johnson presiding.
The Fourth Precinct, First Supervisor
District, was taken up. and on the first
ballot there was no vote for Sheriff or
Assessor. Then for a while il was clear
sailing, until a ticket was found of which
considerable part had been torn off by
the inspector while tearing off the num-
Der. Quite number of such tickets
were found, showing great carelessness,
some OF them being torn entirely in two.
The count of the precinct showed no
change from the official figures, it stand
Ing: johnson 81, Heintz 80, O'Neil %,
Bugbey 2, Lee 0. For Assessor it stood:
Berkey 80, Irvine 20, Baumann 25, Greer
16.
In the Fifth Precinct all the ballots
were found to have been marked on the
back with initials by the election board,
and the attorneys for Baumann and
ONeil objected to them on the ground
that 1t constituted Distinguishing mark.
Bruner said he would consent TO have
the whole precinct thrown out. but the
others did not consent, and the count
proceeded smoothly, several OF the bal
lots being torn. The result was: john
son, Al; Heintz, 46; O'Neil, 2S; Bugbey, l.
For Assessor-Berkey, 30; Irvine, %;
Baumann, 45; Greer, 10; Robertson, l.
Berkey gained l, Irvine 2, and Baumann
lost l and Greer 3. The two precincts
were counted in an hour and ten minutes.
In l,n iyt or oh tal tn a
ballot because IL had some figures on it,
evidently, he said, made as a distinguish
ing mark. The vote was for Johnson,
there being no vote for Assessor. 1t was
thrown out. Then came ballot stamped
for Johnson, and another stamp in the
same place, but partly extending into the
space for Heintz. Gett claimed the vote
for HeintZ, but it was counted for john

been stamped, the stamp erased and
O'Neil voted for. The vote was counted
for o. Neil. The next ballot contained
vote for three Assessors. and conse-
Quently no vote for Assessor was counted.
Then came a ballot in which the greater
part OF the stamp was IN O'Neips space,
and ii was counted tor him.
A ballot marked for Bugbey and Hintz,
with circle round the stamps, was
thrown out, on account of Distinguishing
marks, Berkey thus losing a vote, and a
ballot with a triangular mark opposite
the name OF candidate for Superlntend-

The Eleventh Precinct finished up the
First Supervisor District. 4 ballot was
stamped by the voter with the name of
Burns for superintendent OF Public In
struction, then he tried TO cover it with
an indelible pencil and voted for Rich
ardson. The ballot was counted for Bau-
mann.
Then Bruner claimed a vote for Ber-
key because there was more ink below
The line than above it, the stamping being
on the line between the nancs OF Bau-
mann and Berkey, but the court decided
that tue center OF the stamp was above
the line and counted the ballot for Bau-
mann.
Baker objected to ballot that had been
stamped for Two names tor Coroner. one
having been erased, on tie ground that
it was a distinguishing mark but ihe
ballot was counted Tor BugDey and Ber-
key.
