Thrown Out.

Judge Mack has filed his decision
on the demurrer in the contest case
of Lynip VS.. Buckner for the Office of
District Attorney OF Humboldt coun-
ty. The Judge overruled the prlnci-
pal ground Of Buckners demurrer, in
relation TO the Rebel Greek ballots,
and decides that they are illegal.
The Judge decides that leaving the
numbers on the ballots was direct
violotion OF the Australian ballot law,
and if tolerated would utterly de-
stroy the element of secrecy which it
is intended to secure. District At
torney Buckner, the contestee, is
given ten days to answer.
