MMILLAN VS.. SADLER
Mc Millan Closes His Case
Court Adjourns for One
Week

Yesterday the attorneys for McE1il-
Ian closed their case in chief. Up tC
the present time they have objected to
42l ballots cast for Sadler and the at.
%torneys for Sadler have objected to 2S1
ballots cast for Mcmillan. In other
words the attorneys for Mcmillan have
objected to l34 more ballots cast for
Sadler than the attorneys for Sadler
have objected to ballots cast for Nc.
MILAN.
All Of the ballots have been COUNTED
from the counties and precincts in
which Mcmillan expected to gain on
Sadler.
The counties in which mistakes will
greatly pr~epOnderate in favor of Sadler
to wit: Storey, Washoe, Douglas and
parts of Lyon, Humboldt and Esme-
ralda remain yet to be counted. From
tie above the outlook would seem to
be favorable for a largely increased
majority for Sadler over Mcmillan.
Sadler's attorneys were prepared to
Immediately continue the case. The
Court, however, took a recess till next
Monday when possibly the case will be
resumed. Sadler's attorneys are well
satisfied with the results thus far.
