SAC CITY NEWS.
End of Busy Term of Court-The OF.
fetal Count-Iitus Amendment Er.

Special to Times-Republican.
Sac City. Nov. N.-The October term
OF the Sac county district court will
close today. There were more trial cases
than usual-owing + the fact that a
goodly number Of them were continued
over from the last term. For the first
time in six years the grand jury adj
journed this term without considering
any matters. Nothing of any impor-
lance was brought to their attention.
Some interest has been manifested
here concerning the discussion going on
in the newspapers about the error in the
Titus amendment. While the lawyers
here do not seem to question seriously
but what the clear Intent and spirit of
the amendment will control, yet be
hat as 1t may the county officials whose
terms OF office would otherwise end
with this year will from a moral stand
point step down and out and not de-
Drive their successors OF office for n
year owing to q. technicality, when the
intent Of the legislature and the law
is SO clear and plain.
The official count gives a republican
majority in Sac county OF 1,572, a gain
OF about 400 votes for the republican
ticket. Miss Belle Henton, the lady
candidate for county recorder on the re-
publican ticket, whom the democrats
and a few republicans predicted would
run away behind the ticket, almost re-
sulting in her defeat, on the ground that
che is a woman and an experiment in
Sac county. to the surprise Of all ran
well up with the ticket, and in some
places ran ahead Of all other county
candidates.
