the place until January LIST. The place

Some curious facts have been dis
closed regarding Gradel, one of the
voting precincts of Adams county.
This precinct is situated in the north
western part of the county and is in
habited almost exclusively by Germans.
Two years ago every vote was cast for
E. d. ellison, the republican nominee
for sheriff. This year ellison was
candidate for reelection and his OPP
ponent, c. D. Linn, democrat, received
twenty-five votes while only three
votes were cast for Gibson. 1t has be-

sheep and voted for almost any can
didate. =
