with the law. However, the custody OF
those ballots was not satisfactorily en-
planned during The period from January 70
May, 1899. and the Court held, under
objection from McMillan's attorneys, thai
Sadler's attorneys must submis better
proof upon this point than they have thus

gains and losses there BY the respective
parties may not effect ere result.
After Deputy County Clerk ]. H. Kent
OF Churchill was excused, County CLERK

took this objection with g rare bit OF
gusto. but its object, save as q bit OF fun,
was not discovered. Relstor took eleven
