The contest for the Office OF Sheriff Of

Judge Fitzgerald Wednesday and Thurs
day. The trial Of the ease has been labor
ious because of the fact that all the bal.
lots had 10 be carefully examined and re-
counted which had been cast In all the
precincts Of the county. The recount re.
suited ss follows: HUI, 103; Sweeney,
80. To these nc objections we're made.
Sixty eight votes more for HUI, however,
we're objected to by Mr.. Breen, attorney
for Sweeney. and seventy.four more for
Sweeney we're objected 70 BY Mr.. Wren,
attorney for HUI.
The case Was not closed on Thursday,
but continued until this morning, when
the arguments will be made, and the
cause submitted to the Court.
Before the contest. Hjul's majority over
Sweeney was four. II the Court should
hold that all the ballots cast for each Of
the candidates were properly marked, and
that none Of them come under the ban OF
the Australian ballot law, Sweeney would
have a msjoritor over HUI OF one vote.
This is accounted for by the fact that In
the recount all the ballots which had been

taken into consideration. II is hardly
