Hayward, Wis, April s.--The Peck ticket
came into full possession OF, the town
Offices last night through an agreement
reached between the warning factions.
Both sides had some standing in their
claims. No denial is made that the cleo
tion would not stand the test of the
courts The Peck people, on the other
hand, had equitable right to the offices as
expressed by their overwhelming major
ity.
Public indignation over the attempted
Illustration Of the ballot was intense, but
there is every indication now of more
peaceful relations than have existed since
the Enterprise started its crusade.
Some concessions, however, have been
made to the Slure people, in order to re-
store peace. It's party organ is to have
it's share of county printing.
The most important concession, how
ever, is the withdrawal of the suits for
the recovery of $4,000 against the county
board. This is thought by many to be
one thing for which they were making
the whole play. Adutant General Board
man left for home yesterday.
