Base Ball Notes.

Paw Paw plays at Schoolcraft to-day,
and there has been an exodus of Paw
Paw people to see the game, which will
be a hot one, as Schoolcraft is bound to
offset the defeat suffered in the game
here-if it can, and our team is likewise
going in to win. Both teams are strong
and very evenly matched.
Paw Paw and Bangor will play in Paw
Paw next Tuesday afternoon. Bangor
has been playing winning ball has
beaten South Haven, and is doubtless
the strongest team in the county outside
OF Paw Paw. Paige, Paw Paw boy, will
be 10 the box for Bangor, and Sanger and
Killefer will be the Paw Paw battery.
This game is anticipated with great
deal OF interest, and will be one of the
good games of the season. A big crowd
should see it.

ELECTION BOARD SUSTAINED.
Judge Carr Upholds the Decision of the
Hamilton Election Board.

In the contested election case of the
people ex rel the prosecuting attorney
VS.. Charles w. Byers, Judge Carr sus-
tains the election board in its refusal TO
count ballot alleged TO have been cast
for Amos b. Wagner, Byers' opponent
for the office Of supervisor of Hamilton
township.
The stipulated facts referred to in the
judges opinion are substantially as
follows:
At the regular election for township
officers in the township of Hamilton,
held April 6. 1903, the name of Amos b.
Wagner appeared in the proper place
and form on the republican ticket for
the office of supervisor, and the name of
Charles w. Byers in like manner APP
peared on the peoples union silver
ticket.
Byers received 100 lawful votes for
said office of supervisor and Wagner re-
ceived 10i lawful votes for the same
Office
The only disputed question is whether
"A certain ballot should or should not be
tOuuLtQ lNl W az utAs MS DdllpA las q
cross IN the proper place and form in
the circle under the head of the peoples
union silver ticket; a line is drawn through
Byer's name and Amos b. Wagner's
name is written in the same place, be-
tween "Byens" and the right margin of
the ballot. No other cross or mark ap-
pears on such ballot.
If this ballot be counted for Wagner
the vote is tie; if not counted at all
Byers was elected.
Such ballot was rejected by the cleo
ton board and Byers declared elected
On a petition for a recount the board
again refused to count the ballot and
again declared Byers duly elected.
His honors opinion is as follows:
This is a proceeding in the nature of
quo warranto to determine respondents
right to hold the Office of supervisor of
Hamilton township.
The stipulated facts and fac simile
ticket hereto attached constitute my
finding of the facts in this matter.
"My conclusions as TO the law on such
facts are as follows;
Il. The ballot is not marked as the
law directs
- In the language of the supreme
court of South Dakota, the intention of
the voter must be ascertained by the
marks he has placed on the ballot in the
manner prescribed by law.
80 think that when the name of con-
testing candidates appear printed upon
the ticket an eector has no right to write
in the name of one of such candid ates
II. / don't think persons name can
appear upon ballot at more than one
place.
.. I think the statute of 1895 is
mandatory.
IS. | think that the name Of relator,
Amos b Wagner, having been written
on the ballot in question creates dis
tinguishing mark.
IL therefore am of the opinion that
the decision of the election inspectors
should be sustained and that the ballot
should not be counted for any person.
Judgment should be entered in this
case in favor of respondent and against
relator for his costs to be taxed.

Circuit Judge
This case will be appealed to the
supreme court

$500, 900 was done in the Enid bot.
toms by cloudburst that struck
west OF this city at midnight last
night. The aggregate damage will
probably be raised much higher by
losses sustained between Enid and
the seat Of the storm. At II O'Clock
a bank OF water 3 feet high and 200
feet wide swept down through the
bottoms, carrying houses and every
thing before it. 1t came upon Enid
without warming when most Of its
citizens were asleep. Within a few
minutes a hundred houses were part
ly or completely submerged. Res
cuers went to work Immediately and
all last night labored industriously
saving persons from perilous posi-
tions and aiding those driven from
their homes To-day it was found
that several hundred we're homeless.
Many pitiable scenes were witnessed
as the people stood around waiting
for the water to subside. Many had
lost everything they possessed. The
citizens are busily engaged relieving
the distress but the means at hand
are inadequate. The rainfall the
past ten days has been the heaviest
in the history OF Oklahoma, and indi-
cations are that more will follow.
