While It Is true that the governorship
contest is arousing the deepest interest
among Republicans In King county, the
rivalry among the several candidates for
county offices Is commanding large
share Of attention from politicians. The
strife for nominations this year is very
keen because of the fact that Republicans
believe that a nomination Is equal to an
election in view OF the bright outlook for
Republican success in Washington a. we'll
as in the nation.
Probably the most Interesting OF the
various contests Is that for the nomination
for sheriff. Because. Of his alliance with

day dismissed the charge OF assault and
battery preferred by A. l.. Maan against
q. w. Fcaxell. of the Tony Faust saloon,
upon motion of Deputy Prosecuting At
torney Hart who concluded that there was
not sufiicient evidence upon whicn 20 pro-
coed to trial.
At the conclusion Of the case Judge
Cam expressed himself as very, much
provoked that the case had fallen through
and asserted that he Intended to recon-
mend the council to revoke the license
of the resort Maan presented sorry
appearance in court yesterday. His eyes
were both swollen almost shut and he
claims to have sustained severe injury TO
his limbs and body. Feazell introduced
evidence at the hearing yesterday tending
to show that the complaining witness pro-
voked the assault and that the blows ad-
ministered to him were dealt In self-de-
tense.
Later in the day Councilmen Crichton,
Muldoon, Benjamin and Blake instituted
an Investigation OF the assault with o
view to recommending the license q the
defendant for cancellation IN the event 1t
was found that the assault was unjusti-
fed. Judge Cam stated to one of the
councilman that Feaxeil had once before
been arraigned In his court ON a similar
charge and that he was convinced that
the prosecution should not have been
dropped In this instance.
