WILL OCCUPY WEEK PROBABLY

From present indications the bal
ance of the week i'll the circuit court
will be occupied with the mayoralty
election case of George w. McCaskrin
VS.. William McConochie. Mr.. Neon
ochie is serving as the executive head
of the city, but Mr.. McCaskrin be-
lieves he has no legal right to hold
the Office. At any rate. he is a Mis-
sourian in this instance, and demands
to be shown.
In accordance with an order from
Judge Gcst. before whom the case is
being heard, City Clerk II. c. Schaifer
this morning had all the ballots cast
at the spring municipal election cart
ed to the circuit court room, and the
tedious operation of a recount was
commenced.
On the face of the returns Mr.. Nc
Conochie received d majority of 1913
votes, but the contestant expects to
show that there were enough irregu-
lar ballots counted for the present
mayor to make it Mayor q. Washing
ton McCaskrin.
Examined by Attorneys.
One by one the ballots are
taken from the boxes by Clerk
Schaffer and handed to the at
torneys, each of whom makes a
minute examination. and if mistake
allowing of a legal objection is discov-
cred the ballot is given over to Judge
Gest. who has before him a McCono-
chic pile and Il McCaskrin pile. When
the counting has been completed the
lawyers will turn their batteries loose
on the alleged defective ballots.
Representing Mayor McCOnochie
are Searle & Marshall. while the CON
testant has on his side Kcnworthy &
Kenworthy and II. NJ. McCaskrin.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Edison Stone has returned to school
and, incidentally. to the football team.
As he is an old star of the team of
1900. he is more than welcome.
Some of the pictures which were
purchased at the art exhibit, held at
the high school last spring, have been
hung in the assembly room and cor
ridors. They are large and framed in
dark frames, so that they show to
good advantage against the white
walls. There are perhaps 20 more not
yet framed.
The basketball team meets this af-
ternoon in room 20 to elect captain
and select players to fill vacancies.
