SHERIFF ELECTION CONTEST
Il A. Faxon Asks for Recount of the
Votes cast en- June 9th.

II A. Faxon Asks for Recount of the
Votes cast en- June 9th.
Ex.Sheriff H A. Faxon has filed a
notice Of contest Of the election of Will
liam Blakeley to The Office of sheriff.
Wednesday evening Attorney d. w.
Bailey presented at the office OF the
county clerk the notice of contest for
fling, also a motion asking for re-
count in the circuit court on Tuesday
July 81, and later in the evening an
order to the court to that effect was
fled.
Ex-Sherif Faxon alleges in his re-.
quest for recount that 45 votes cast for
him in the county were not counted
and that in Pendleton precinct persons
nos authorized and unqualified assisted
Ia keeping and counting the tslley sheet
Sheriff Blakeley was interviewed about
the matter yesterday morning and ex-
pressed himself as perfectly willing that
recount should be had, the outcome Of
which he is satisfied will be in his favor.
AS it is we'll known that in the election
large number OF votes really cast fol
the union party candidates were not
counted because Of the cross being before
the name of the party, instead Of be.
tween the number and the nsme OF the
candidate, he stands better chance of
having his majority increased than hav
ing 1t swept away.
