WILL APPEAL TO THE LAW.
Reported That the sarah Zane Firemen
WI Fight oectston of Judges.

VII Fight Decision of Judges.
1t is said that the Sara Zane reel
team, which ran first in the hose race
on Friday, and over whose time there
was a dispute, will take the matter in
to court and endeavor TO prevent the
firemen from paying the first prize
money to the Juniors, of Hagerss
town, who were awarded the decision
by the judges. 1t win be remembered
that a Misunderstanding on the part
of.the Judge at the nozzle resulted in
the dropping of the flag before the
nozzle was attached, instead Of after.
This gave the Sarah Zane team the
remarkable low record of 374 seconds,
which the judges afterward decided
should not stand. Seven watches at
the finish caught the time from 43 to
44t seconds. Sarah Zane refused to
try again.

that his connection with the tax re-

radical that their interests will suf-
fer if he is elected. Senator Eikins

is no ground for the assertion that the
corporations are against him as a
