The board of supervisors of Lucas
county met Monday for their regular
November session. There is more
business than was expected and the
probability is that the session will con-
sumo the greater part of the entire
week. There was no business of i'm
portance transacted Monday save the
canvassing of the vote Of Lucas coun-

announcing the official vote. There
was much interest taken in the official
count on account of the closeness of
the vote for sheriff, which had been
announced as a plurality of four for
Boss, the democratic candidate The
official count was expected to change
this, as also the majority of Miss
Fitch, the democratic candidate for
county superintendent, which had been

increased Boss plurality to 10 and de-
creased Miss Fitch's to 81, giving the
democrats two county officers. The
