ferred ito in the affidavit in all respects
corroborating the affidavit of Mr..

Rock Springs shows that the same is
not in the writing of Mr.. Chiles.
The election board in Green River
precinct was composed of two republic
"a judges Of erection and one demo-
cratic Judge and of two clerks, one of
whom was a republican and the other
a democrat.
The democratic judge was Mr.. S.
Danwoski, a well known citizen of
Green River, who has made the follow
ing affidavit:
The State of Wyoming, County of
Sweetwater, IS.
S.. hnwoski. being first duly sworn,
on his oath doth depose and say: That
he was one OF the judges of election in
and for election district No. /, in
Sweetwater county in the State of Wyo-
ming, at the general election held in
and for said state on the Sth day OF
November, A. d. 1898. That the other
two judges OF said election at said pre-
cinct were Karl Spinner and James
Rumble. That the clerks of said cleo
ton in and for said precinct were C. w.
Draper and w. F. Dickinson, and that
each of said clerks kept a poll book Of
said election. That when the votes cast
in said precinct had been fully counted,
canvassed and, recorded in said poll
book. and before said books and the
certificates wese signed, the said Judges
and clerks of election carefully compar-
ed the two books and the ~tallies, fig
ures and certificates in each of them
contained in three ways, viz:
The certificates in the poll book kept
by Mr.. Dickinson were compared with
the tally sheet in the poll book kept by
Mr.. Draper; the certificates in the poll
book kept by Mr.. Draper were compar-
ed were compared with the tally sheet
and the poll book kept by Mr.. Dickin-
son and the certificates in each of said
poll books were compared with the
tally sheet contained in the same book.
That when said comparison was COM
pleted, each of said books in all re-
spects correspondent with the other
thereof, and the tally in each of said
books correspondent with the certificates
in the case OF each person voted for in
each book. That one of said poll books
was returned to the county clerk of the
County Of Sweetwater, and the other of
said books was delivered to Karl Spin
ner, one of said judges, for safe keep
ing. That affiant has carefully exam
ined the poll book so deposited with
Karl Spinner, and the same is in all re
spects in the same condition as when
said election board adjourned on Nov.
9, 1898, and no change Of any kind has
been made therein since the compile
ton OF said canvass and OF said book
on the 9th day of November, aforesaid.
That afiant has not been able to ex-
anime the book which wal delivered to
the said county clerk. but If any diff
ference now exists between the said two
poll books, it is because the poll book
which was delivered to the said county
Dlorl hoe 10 Soma rnon- laa-
changed.
That the poll book now in the posses
sion OF the said Karl Spinner shows
both in the certificate and in the tally
sheet that at said election in said pre-
cinct, David A. Reavtl received one
hundred and ffty-three (153) votes, and
no more, for the office Of state senator,
and that the tally sheet and certificate
in said poll book agree and are alike.
That afiant, at the conclusion of the
canvass of the votes in said precinct,
made memorandum Of the number of
votes cast in said precinct for each r
son voted for, and that by such memo
randum 1T appears that in said pre-
cinc, fer the Office of state senator,
David A. Reavill received one hundred
and fifty-three C153) votes. and no
more.
That entirely independent Of such
memorandum. afiant has a district re-
membrance that David A. Reavill re-
