ELECTION WAS NOT VALID.

A test case as to Whet her or not Hampstead County, or cer- tain sections of it. may be made subject to the provisions of the law against hogs running at large was decided in the Su- preme Court today, in the case of Hood vs. Bell. Hood brought suit to replevin certain hogs which had been impounded un- der the law, the local authorities taking it for granted that their terri ory was subject to the pro- visions of the stock law. He was ruled against in the lower court, and appealed to the Su- preme Court.
 The facts indicate that the law was voted on by the citizens in the section referred to and finally passed, but not until a third election on the question had been held. The court ruled that the provisions of the legislative en- actment allowed for the calling of special election, or in failure to hold a special election, the vote might be taken at the next gen. eral election. There was, how ever, no provision for an election to be held at any other time, or that repeated votes might be taken until the law was passed. Hence the fact that the election failed at the time specified for the regular vote on the question. the court ruled that the later election did not become valid. The case was, ti erefore, revers- ed.

n news Of Miss Irene Van Ars-
daIe's engagement TO Lieutenant

clamations and good wishes from the
guests. That very warm friendship
has existed for months between the
young people has been no secret to
