Automobiles IN Service.
Early in the DAY automobiles
were pressed into service for use

OF these gave an air Of novelty and
new life TO the election day pro-

been made.
Surrounding circumstances have
made Il practically impossible tn

has not been sufficient time In
which TO check over the list ia
any precinct TO ascertain which

instances names have been entered
upon the books fraudulently. To
what extent this practice has been
carried Il Is impossible even 10
speculate with accuracy.
In the few instances where fraud
ulent names are known TO have
been registered, efforts will be
made to prevent them from being
voted. No organized effort along
the line. however. is being made
by any OF the republican factions.

Despite this confusion. however.
the balloiing began without excite

early hours OF the day without
disorder The benefit of having
non partisan or rather bipartisan

Early In the daY the superior
political organization Of the Miller
forces became apparent In the pres

Trimble men there were in many
precincts and occasionally a worker

but the Miller men were In the
majority and they were all active
and aggressive In boosting for their
candidate. This fact alone demon
siratos that the organization Is
for Miller except for the small
fraction which has been Clipped
off BY the Russell campaign.

BODY OF AN INFANT FOUND
Grussoms Discovery by Juan Mar
tInez in tho Fields Southeast Of
Stafford Last Saturday

While blowing in the fields near
the slaughter house last Saturday,
about mile southeast Of town,
Juan Martinez uuearthed the body
of an infant under a large tree.
The child seemed &c be about ten
days old at the time Of its death,
and had evidently been buried two
weeks. 1t was wrapped in some
old shawls and similar clothing,
but was not enclosed in a box. Its
skin was dark enough to ind cate
that it was Of Mexican or Indian
origin. The find was reported
to Justice Fonda, who empancled
a jury, aud all the evidence obtain
able was heard A Mexican boy,
who lives not far distant, testified
that he saw two of his countrymen
busily engaged near the spot two
or three weeks ago, but thought
nothing further of the matter at
the time. This was the only in
formation that could be found on
the subject of the baby's anteced
ents and the jury, which com
prised Earl Wish, Frank Camp
bell, Hugo Kreuger, Mr.. Spafford|
and Petar Andarsan, found that
the child came to its death by some
means unknown. The remains
were enclosed suitably for burial
and inferred in the same spot,
where the signing of the wind
through the old tree sings its last
requiem
