FIVE 10 BE PRosECUTED.

Evideuce BeinE Collected Against Election
Officers Who Are Alleged to- Have vio-
lated the Law.
Evidence is being collected against
five officers of the election last Tues
day, who are said TO have violated the
law, and il. there is sufficient reason
they will be prosecuted. Three of the
men belong in the city and two in
rural districts.
The chief accusation, 1t is under
stood, is giving the wrong stamp to
voters, while some are charged with
violating the law in other respects.
1t is the intention of the Republi-
cans who are TO conduct the prosecu
tions to have the men against whom
there are charges arrested this week,
in order that there may be speedy
trials. A prominent Republican said
he was under the impression that the
cases would come before Judge Spru-
| ance.
