FAYErTE COUNTY BONES.
Returns of In Grange and Winchcs-
ter Not ThrOxNm ONT.


La Grange, Texas, November l6,-Ths
commissioners court finished its labors in
estimating tie returns of the election in
Fayotte county today. Quite It commotion
took place a few days ago when the court
reached the La Grange and Winchester re-
turns and it was intimated by the court
that in all probability these boxes would
be thrown out. The reason assigned for
this was that the returns OF the Winchester
box were not signed by the officers In
charge OF the election ut that place and
That the La Grange returns had only been
signed by two Judges. The tally and poll
the required Oaths dad been taken with
the exception OF the above stated omission.
AS the throwing out of these two boxes
would have changed the results In some OF
the county offices, a great deal of interest
was manifested.
The officers OF both boxes were not
aware OF the omission. which had occurred
through an oversight, until their attention
was called to It. After hearing OF It. they
but the court was in doubt as TO whether
this could be done after The returns had
been delivered TO the court.
A number OF prominent members OF the
In Grange bar voluntarily appeared before
the court, and all gave It az their opinion
that the returns could not be thrown out,
as the number of votes given IN the retuTns
were correct IN every particular, and no
question OF fraud had been raised. After
the argument OF the attorneys had been
submitted. tie court ordered duplicate re-
turns Of both boxes 10 be issued signed by
all TIE proper officers. which was lmme-
dlately done.
