The Audraiu County Clsrkship.

The County Democratic Central
Committee meets in this city next
Saturday, July 2, to take action In
regard to supplying the vacancy on
the ticket for County CLERK, made 80
by the death of the nominee, ]. 8.
Snfdow. While there has been no
expression from the committee, it Ia
generally understood throughout the
county that II a majority Of the voters
desire that Mrs. G. ID. Snidow, wife OF
the deceased County Clerk, shall have
the position her name will be placed
upon the ticket. Petitions favoring
Mrs. Snidow for the place have been
in circulation for some time and, the
LEDGER understands, are being num-
erously signed. In fact, there seems
to be a popular sentiment in favor OF
Mrs. Snidow. II the names upon the
petition do not represent q majority
of the voters of the county the Gen.
trail Committee will devise some
means of filling the vacancy.
1t is requested that the petitions
now in circulation be returned moi
later than next Saturday at 10 O'Clock
q. m, at which time the Central Com.
mittee meets to take action.

by Miss Lebbia Ball became fright
ened at a piece of paper that was lying

ceeded in breaking the harness and
was in q most critical condition, when
he was stopped by ive or six strong
men, who, seeing that the life of Miss
Ball was in danger, grabbed the horse
and held to him until he was stopped
Iii was q very difficult task to restrain
his strong lunges, even after he had
been stopped.
Miss Ball Is a woman Of remarkable
nerve and has been In several bad
runaways before, which would have
resulted In serious trouble had it no,
have been for her cool-headed man
