Carroll, Dec. 29.-The special board
selected for the Hamilton Haselton
slpewisorial contest concluded It's Ia
bors yesterday afternoon, but it's find
inrs did not result in any material
change from that found by the board
Of supervisors at the official canvass.
In Warren township, where it was al
legged that ballots had been erroneously
counted for Haselton, it was found that
Hamilton made slight loss. Hasel-
ton made his large gain IN dhdden

county as whole he made a gain OF
thirty-one votes over the official can
vass. increasing his majority to thirty
seven.
It is thought that the decision OF the
special board, which was composed OF

and Chris CRUDE of Manning, will be
anal. as Mr.. Hamilton has shown no

They chased him from his laundry,
and fearing his life, he burst into the
,loor of a hotel, crying for protection.
Mr. Lathrop, the proprietor of the
hotel, thought that he was crazy and
prepared to eject him from the build
ing, when the mob Of drunken, fren-
lied brutes rushed up to the hotel
threatening vengeance and demanding
his surrender
Mr.. Lathrop then took hand, and
with his fist and an iron poker thai
he had secured cleaned the crowd OF
ten or fifteen out, badly beating and
bruising them and literally throwing
their leader. Mr.. Chapman. out of the
hotel.
The crowd then returned to the
laundry, tore up the goods that were
in the building turned over the stove
and chairs, ruined the counter, broke

went away.
