The convention promises not to be
devoid of life, even though there are
not many candidates. Yet nobody
can tell what may develop in politi-

the greatest hustling is being done for
the office of sheriff, there being three
active candidates, viz: Charley Stew

Oelrichs, and Ed Clark, of Edgemont.

Henry Marty, of Hot Springs, to con-
test with for the place at the polls.

win is the man to nominate.

friends of A. H. Utter, of Burton pre-.
