ruled-News of the Flour City.
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug 4. - Sheriff
Phillips was himself on the stand to-
day in the proceedings before Referee
Purple to determine whether Phillips
or Conroy shall appear upon the DEM
ocratic ticket as the nominee for sheriff,
and with the close of his testimony
the case for the present sheriff was
closed. Mr.. Phillips testified as to the
report he had received from certain par
ties in the hall, including Attorney
Cahaley, who appears for the defense
in the hearing, that he was nominated
by a vote of 2i9 to 240.
When, at the close of Mr.. Phillips
testimony the plaintiff rested, the de-
Tense Immediately recorded a motion
for Judgment on the ground that the

to show that Phillips had received the

rectly or indirectly, so declared.
This was overruled, and Ed Stevens
was the first witness for the defense
He related his story without the as
siStance of questions by the other at

did not differ materially from that of
Judge Rea, except as to the announce
ment of G. NJ. Foote to the effect that
the tellers were unanimously of the
opinion that the ballot was foul"
G. NJ. Foote was the star witness for
the respondent. He testified directly
that ConroyFwas the nominee of the
convention. Foote stated that the ball
lots were counted three times for Phil
lips, and that each time they were the
Same-239. The Conroy ballots were
counted once, and found to tie those Of
Phillips, but Judge Rea found another
Conroy ballot, which put him ahead.
Then the count was verified, the Phil
lips ballots being thrown to one side.
Were through with them, said Mr.
Foote.
Afterward some one counted the
Phillips votes again, and found that
there had been fraud somewhere. Mr..
toote was certain that the extra bal
lots had been placed there by some one
