A CORRECTION.
No Recommendation to Put Victor Love-
ly Under Bonds to Keep Peace.

In yesterdays account Of Barre city
court proceedings, It was stated that
Grand Juror Davis recommended that
Victor Lovely be placed under bonds to
keep the peace, which was not the intent
as the previous part Of the article would
show. The charge Of breach Of the peace
against Mr.. Lovely had been mol pressed
and hence there was nothing about the
case which would justify request to put
Mr.. Lovely under bonds. Grand Juror
Davis states that while he may have
used Mr. Lovely's name he intended the
application for Oliver Desrochia, one Of
the men who had just pleaded guilty to
breach Of the peace in the same matter.
The evidence in the prosecution Of Des-
rochia and Carswel went TO show that
Lovely was trying to separate the two
contestants. This correction is made in
justice to Mr.. Lovely.

REPUBLICAN TICKET
GETS FIRST COLUMN
Supreme Court Makes Ruling
in Sacramento Case

The supreme court took the view yes
terday that the general result of the
state election is to be taken as a guide
in arranging the party tickets on the
ballot. According to this ruling the
republican list will be given the prece-
dence throughout the state. This has
been the rule In San Francisco and will
make no change in the local ballot
The issue came before the supreme
court in the form of petition from II.
j. Nelson. republican nominee for city
trustee, from the ninth ward in Sac
ramento. Nelson objected to the ball
lots, as the democratic ticket had been
printed in the initial column. This
was done, it appeared, because at the
last state election Theodore Bell, the
democratic nominee, had run ahead of
Gillett in the city of Sacramento.
Nelson held that the general result
should be taken into account, and in
this contention he was sustained. A
writ of mandate was issued ordering
the Sacramento officials to give the re-
publican ticket the first space.
