THE YUMA PRISON
Superintendent Ben Daniels in the
 City Yesterday.
room 1.

Superintendent Ben Daniels of the territorial prison arrived in the city yesterday morning. He said that things are moving along quietly at the prison. There are now 347 cOnvicts there. Two were discharged on Thursday, on whicn day the record was the highest in the history of the insti- tuuon. The quarters are becoming in adequate. Recently some new cages have been put in which will accom- mOdate about twenty men.
 The cost of maintaining the convicts for November was $14 per capita little lest than ffty-cents and MT. Dan- iels said that was about the average cost month after month.
 There is nothing now for the prison CTS To do but the superintendent is hopeful of finding employment for them on the land belonging to the prison south of the mouth of the GiIa. There was once a desultory attempt at farm ing prison lands but it was given up anl the land was allowed to grow up with Erush. The superintendent recent Fly made arrangements to have the lands surveyed.
 It was found that the eastern bound- ary of the land lies three miles east of the Irison. It is probable that ar engagements will be made for cultiva- rion of a part of it. MT. Daniels will remain in the city until tonight.

those which the supervisors allowed in the official count
 Misconduct is alleged in the second ward where were improperly counted for Walker ten votes and where ten votes that should have been counted for Cook were rejected.
 It is also charged that in Tempe precinct there were counted for Walk CT five more votes than he actually received and that there were withheld from Cook five votes which he should have had.
 It is alleged that there was miscon- duct in Mcdowell precinct where the count showed that Walker had ten votes more than were really cast for him. while Cook had been deprived Of as many votes belonging to him.
 In Verde precinct it is alleged that two more votes were given to Walker than were legally cast for him while two votes which had been cast for Cook and which should have been counted, were rejected.
 On this showing the court is asked to decree that Cook was legally elect cd sheriff for two years, beginning to- morrow.
 While no recomt.is specifically ask ed for of the votes iH the precincts where misconduct is alleged that pray CT is concealed in the general prayer for Judgment in favor of Cook. And though Irregularities in other precincts are not alluded to, once the contest is under way all of the precincts of the county will naturally be drawn in

 The friends of both the late candi- dates say that this statement is un- just to both and is utterly untrue. No communication between Sheriff Cook and MT. Walker on the subject of the contest has ever passed. No promise. direct or indirect, has ever been made.

contest. Time passed without move in that direction and at length it was understood that he would take no fur ther action. About a week ago some of the leaders Of his party called on him and insisted that he make q con- test. They said that the margin of four votes by which Walker appeared to have been elected in total vote of more than 3,7OO, was, entirely 100 narrow aud they believed that il would be much more than overcome in a re count. The sheriff was averse to pur- suing the matter any further. but it was reported as late as Thursday night that he had consented to the contest.
 But it turned out yesterday morning that he had not done so. He met the insistence of his friends by saving that while he felt an interest in the matter it was not strong enough to induce him to spend more money in q con test.
 There was a meeting of the repu5li- can county central committee yesterday forenoon at which it was unanimously decided to insti- tute a contest any way and it was further decided to make Dr. F. c. Richmond chairman of the committee for the contestant. This is perhaps the first time on record that anything of this kind has ever occurred. How ever. the contest is in no way handi- capped by the fact that the beneficiary of the success of the movement holds aloOf from it.
 The complaint was drawn after one o'clock in the afternoon and was filed at five o'clock in the evening. It is not a voluminOus document and is based in part upon the investigation made soon after the official canvass. It recites the circumstances of tha late election in which it is alleged that Cook received 1864 votes for the office Of sheriff and Walker 1928 votes. l. is further alleged that the result of the official canvass showed that Cook he'd received 1S44 votes and Walker 1S4S. But this showing is alleged to be bas- ed on several irregularities in various precincts, some of which are mention ed in the complaint
 It is charged that there was mis- conduct in the fourth ward in which ten votes were counted for Walker that ought not to have been counted and that the board failed to count cen votes for Cook which should have been counted. It is not understood that by the ten votes for Walker are meant

SHERIFF'S CONTEST
The Case Went to Court
 Yesterday
Chairman Richmond of the Repub-

A contest for the possession of the office of sheriff for the next two years was begun yesterday afternoon. There had been a probability of a contest ever since the board of supervisors canvassed the vote on November 21, went back of the returns in the fourth ward of Phoenix and gave Walker ten more votes than the returns showed, oil the ground that whatever the fig ures of the returns the actual tallies should be counted.
 Immediately after that Sheriff Cook began an investigation of Irregularities iI various precincts and it was under stood that he would shortly enter
