DIRECTORS ENJo1NED.
Timber Creek Trustee. VIII Use New
school Building for Election Pur-

school Building for Election Pur-
poses.
In the controversy between the school
directors and the trustees of Timber
Creek township over the use of the new
school building in sub-district No. 8 for
election purposes Tuesday the trustees
are winners. Saturday afternoon the
trustees went before Judge Caswell and
secured a writ to compel the contractor
to turn the keys of the building, which
were still in the contractors posses
sion, over to the directors. This was
followed today by the Issuance of a
writ of injunction restraining the di-
rectors from interfering with the trus-
tees in the preparation of the building
for election purposes, and the voting
booths are being put up. 1t will be re-
membered that the directors did not de-
sire the building, which has just been
completed. used for election purposes,
but as 1t is in the center of the town
ship and the elections had previously
been held in the old structure, the
trustees desired to continue the cleo
tions there. The directors are A. A.
Parker, Charles Mold and Nils Bottnen,
and the trustees are w. II. Driesback,
Ed Putnam and II. p. Koeple.

several cases to. be disposed of this
morning. A fight late in the afternoon
between E. d. Sanstrom and e. S. Nc

About 1870 o'clock Matt Cooper and j.

near Ferguson, became engaged in a
quarrel near Center and Main streets.
Cooper claimed that Gowdy had made
an Insulting remark about relative of

WILL WIN BY ABOUT 500
-
Shoemaker For Sheriff Will Win
Over MCPHERSON BY q Good
Big Vote.
Conservative Estimates Fail to Show
Any Other Result-The
City Vote.
MCPHERSON Will Garry the Town
But Will Lose Over Two Years
Ago in the Country.
Corresponding are requested
not to wire election returns.
Other arrangements have been
made for receiving full returns.

The situation in Marshall county on
the eve of the election is most encour-
aging to the republicans, and now that
the actual work of the campaign is con-
cluced fair roundup of the situation
is due the readers of the T.-R.
The only Office which the democrats
have hoped to capture and on which
they hoped to win is that of sheriff, and
the efforts have been centered towards
repeating their success Of two years ago
in regard to that Office. OF course the
causes which led up to the defeat OF
the republican candidate in 1887 have
some bearing on the present contest,
but not to considerable extent, and
with the excellent ticket the republic
cans have placed in nomination this
year, against no part of which
not one word could be said
by even democrats, republican
success in electing the entire ticket
must be conceded. That Mr.. McPher-
son will run ahead of his own ticket to
some extent must also be conceded, but
careful estimates, based on the vote of
two years ago and that of last year,
when the democrats made special eff
fort to elect their candidate for judge,
go to show that Mr.. Shoemaker will
win by majority of 500. Some of the
estimates give his majority at little
less, others a little more.
Mr.. Mcpherson will go out of the city
with majority of about 200 votes. He
can not be conceded more than that, as
two years ago, with an unpopular cam
didate on the republican ticket he car.
ried the city by only 2s1 votes. This
year he is conceded the First and
Fourth wards, with an even break in
the Third. Mr.. Shoemaker will carr,
the second by handsome majority
But to win Mr.. Mcpherson would have
to go to the country with about 100 ma
jority as Mr.. Shoemaker will poll almost
the full republican strength In the
country and in the towns outside OF
Marshalltown. Mr.. Mcpherson will
lose LeGrand, which he carried two
years ago, and will lose State Center
and Eden, in which he broke even with
Mills. There is no reason to believe that
he will carry township outside of the
few that are always democratic. There
fore, with an ordinarily heavy vote, he
stands no possible show of winning.
Chairman Estabrook, while he is no
giving out his figures. says he has made
| a very careful estimate and that Mr.
Shoemaker will be elected by goot
big majority. On the whole ticket Mr.
Estabrook looks forward to a bigger
majority than last year. when the re
publican ticket secured majority OF
| ,443 votes. Chairman Estabrooks fig
