AT O'Clock this afternoon the cleo
ton of sheriff was still in doubt. 1t
was expected the Hesperus count
would be completed by a little after
three. Telephone reports indicate a
plurality of 26 to 30 for Clark and
this will make the vote so close as to
require an official count to settle, Re
publicans claiming Thompson by 4
and Democrats Clark by II. 1t is
quite possible to mix the vote for
regular and short terms which varied
quite little in some precincts. For
instance. in the Fifteenth precinct
Thompson received more votes for
the short term than he did for the
long term and there as variance in
every precinct and there is no GER
tafnty that the precinct returns are
all based on the regular term, there
fore there can be no certainty until
the official count is made. Again, 1t
Is rumored that the returns will not
be certified to from Hesperus owing
to alleged discrepancies. Pike car
ried Hesperus by good majority and
this gives him over 500 majority over
Russell in the county. Graden is said
10 have run about even at Hesperus
which means a majority for him over
Newlands of about 60. Leaving out
Hesperus precinct the majorities in
the county are approximately as fol-
lows: Conroy. 800; Thompson, 26;
Goodman, 40; Reister. 40; Coston,
100; lie Fergy, 81. The Burdick vote
has not been compiled.
Buchtels majority over Adams will
be over 100 and both congressman
receive majority.

turns several of the candidates In DIFF
ferent precincts the Herald will not
attempt to give the returns by pre-
cinct, as the result in Durango and
the precincts heard from last evening
outside the city have been pretty
well gone over. Returns were re-
ceived this morning from Lower Flor
ida, Ignacio, La Plata City and Hes
perus this afternoon. Lower Florida
gave Clark 10 majority for sheriff and
the rest OF the Democratic candidates
received from to 10 majority. lg-
nacio gave Thompson GA majority
and the rest of the Republican ticket
from As to go. La Plata City gave
Clark and Newlands 20 majority and
other Democratic nominees as low as
8. Hesperus was very slow in coming
In. the count notbeing finished until
this afternoon.
The Socialists cast the largest vote
at Ignacio, in the neighborhood of rs,
while in other places the vote ran as
high as 30, reaching over 200 in the
county-possibly 300. Lindsey vote
was exceptionally small-possibly not
reaching 100 in the county.
The result in the judicial district
is very gratifying to the Republicans
and several hundred Democrats who
assisted in giving Judge c. A. Pike
In the neighborhood of 500 plurality
over Judge Russell. AS near as can
be figured Pixies majority in La Plata
county will be $40 while in Monte
yuma he will have in the neighbor-
hood of IT'S and 400 in Archuleta
county. Up to this afternoon no re-
turns had been received from Dolores
county. San Juan county gave Judge
Russell approximately 225 plurality
over Pike. The entire Democratic
ticket is elected in San Juan county
and, although w. z. Kinney carried
San Juan county by 20 over Kennedy
for state senator he Is evidently de-
feated as Ouray county gave Kennedy
about 375 majority and the Archuleta
county majority will not be sufficient
to overcome this.
In addition to giving Judge Pike a
rousing majority, Montezuma elected
three Republican officials, Welch for
treasurer, Clark for Sheriff and Byers
defeated for representative by rs ma
jority and this will probably be in
creased by the Dolores county vote.

And why the piggies' tails are curled.
And why don't fish breathe air?
And why the moon don't hit a star.

And will the wind come back?
And why does water stay In wells.
And why do June bugs hum,
And what's the roar hear in shells,
And when will Christmas come?
And why the grass is always green,
Instead of sometimes blue.
And why bean will grow bean,
And not an apple. too?
And why horse can't learn to moo.
And why a COW can't neigh?
And do the fairies live on dew,
And what makes hair grow gray?

 The same ruling was made by the Supreme Court in the Bessemer Po- lice Commission case as was made In the Montgomery Police Commission case and the Montgomery Commission was in consequence reinstated.
 The difference between the Mont xomery act and the Bessemer act is that the Council elects the Montgom- cry Commissioners and the Governor appoints the Bessemer Commissioners
