POLLS CLOSE AT Q
O'CLOCK TONIGHT

Friction between the election officers
and the agents of the Progressive Re-
publican League occurred almost as
soon as the polls opened at / o'clock,
with the result that Alexander r.
Cashion, of 81 Thirteenth avenue, 81
former employee of the county under
Sheriff Frank II Sommer, was ar
rested when he presented his credea-
tias at the polling place of the Fifth
district of the Seventh ward. He was
paroled until tomorrow by Captaiu
Vogel, Of the Fourth Precinct.
Cashon and William Schott. tho
other agent, presented their creden-

Schott was at once protested and went
with q deputy sheriff to the sherlff's

the police.

there had been protests against the
admission of the agents within the
polling places. The first to come in

the Second district of the Tenth ward.
Immediately afterwards word to the

Tenth and the Sixth of the Twelfth.

been instructed to arrest any one inter

the offender to the Court House

diately taken up bv the grand jury
which was sitting for that purpose.

at first expected. on the Hill rlle Of
ficers We're kept fairly busy from the
beginning, and across the railroad, ia
the Fifth ward, the vote was even
larger by comparison. In the Fourth
