The sonerast sheriff Fight.

Skowhegan, Septem Der 10.-The fight
for sheriff in Somerset county Is getting
highly interesting. Never before has so
much feeling been created over county
office. At this pace it is the principal
topic of interest among the business men,
both Republicans and Democrats. who
are almost unanimously in favor of the
Republican nominee e. P. Viles. The
assertions made against Mr.. Viles by Rev.
B. c. Wentworth, pastor of the Metho-
dist church of this place, are emphati-
cally denied by the Republican county
committee and their denial seems to be
verified by the unquestionable facts and
the sworn statements of the county
treasurer and others.
At public meeting at Bingham, Tues
day addresses by Mr.. Wentworth, Mr..
Cairns, chairman of the Republican
county committee, who was present, took
exceptions to some of the statements
made against Mr.. Villas, and opened up
quite an argument over the matter with
the speaker. until the chairman of the
meeting denied Me-. Cairns the privilege
of speaking.
