There is nothing to this talk about
missing ballot boxes The board of
election knows exactly how many
boxes 1t gave out. and how many re-
turned. So far as l know, all came
back. The story about boxes being
thrown into the river is all false. If
q box was found in a barber shop 1
am sure II was one of the small boxes
for mutilated ballots, which are al
ways destroyed after the good ballots
are counted. The report that some
locks are missing is untrue. Some
seals may have been broken in the

Among other matters that are be-
ing held awaiting the appointment Of
federal Judge for Oregon are 20 or
80 contest cases froru this county, in
which the question involved is wheth-
er or not parties who purchase land
on the reservation In the sale of 1885
could also purchase at the sale of
1909.
During the latter sale quite few
people purchased land after having
already purchased under the former
gale. Thereupon co-tests we're filed
to have these entries cancelled. One
of the first of these cases was that OF
Hoover vs. Jones, in which the former
was contestant. This case was de-
cided by the department of the inter-
for In favor OF the contestant, the
ruling OF the department being that
no party who had purchased land In
the first sale could do so In the Sec
ond excepting In cases where the 40
acres of timber had not been taken at
the first sale, In which instance the
right to make this purchase at the
second sale was granted.
However, the case was then taken
into the federal court by the confess
tees. and was under consideration at
the time of Judge Bellinger's DEATH
Since then 1t has been impossible to
secure any settlement, as the judges
who have occupied the bench tenn
porarily have refused to take up such
matters.
Since the department ruled against
the purchaser In the Hoover-Jones
case many other contests. all similar
In nature, have been filed and decid-
ed in the same way. All of these
have also been appealed in order to
keep the entries from being cancell-
ed, and are now awaiting the appoint
ment OF federal Judge.

The shock Of the explosion was felt
in several surrounding townships, and
there was great excitement through
out this end OF the country.
The coroner's jury which had been
sitting on the cases of IS persons kill
ed in the explosion at Fairchance,
September 3, had expressed some de-

exerted its greatest force. The powder
people have taken the stand that the
big magazines which went off on
September 8, had been exploded by
some agency outside the magazines.
They claimed that some one had a
spite against the company. placed and
exploded under the magazines con-
tanning 10000 kegs of powder, some
other explosive, either illuminate OF
mercury or -glycerine. In defense
of this II was claimed that powder in
exploding does not tear holes In the
ground, and the company offered to
prove this by practical demonstration
to the coroner's jury.
The coroner's jury retired to a great
distance. and the battery was touched
off. The explosion rocked the entire
township and was heard as far as
Connelsville.
After the powder exploded 1t was
shown there was no hole in the earth
caused by the explosion OF this great
amount of powder.

Fairchild announced that the motion
OF the railroads to quash the proceed
ings were overruled.
The state, represented by Assistant
Attorney General Mcdonald, then
filed a demurrer to the voluminous
answer of the railroads to the COM

the commission, cleared the tracks of
all distractions and the taking OF
testimony began.
Witnesses were called by the state
for the purpose of sustaining the alle-
cations of the complaint. This testi-
mony was in reference to the rates on
coal from Roslyn to Colfax, which was

School Room.

Another case of diphtheria has been
reported, and the little girl having
the disease is from the same room In
the east end school that two former
cases have been reported. The latest
case is that OF the little daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. r. Raymond, living at
the corner of Main and High streets
She is said to have been Ill at school
yesterday, and this morning the case
was declared to be diphtheria by Dr.
w. C. Cole.
In view of the fact that three cases
of the disease have now occurred
among children of the same school
room, IL is probable that the room
will be ordered closed by the board
and precautions taken to prevent a
spread of the contagion. The room is
the one taught by Miss Eva Froome.
The other cases we're those OF the
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Young, which
proved fatal, and of the child of Mr..
