TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES
CHOOSE new CONSTABLE
Captain Lincoln Bond A,
warded the Place.
Board usgles for u Long Time and
the Election Comes In Round
about Way.

Abraham l.. Bond was elected con-
stable to fill the uneXpired term vi
the late James X. Redd, at a long
session of the township trustees held
at the office of the township clerk, sat
urday afternoon. Bond will probably
resign his position as captain of the
police force to accept the appoint
ment.
The trustees met at o'clock and
began voting on the various appll-
cants for the position. Three were
six applicants, A. l.. Bond, James
f. Ullom, David Vestal. j. 5. Riley
j. w. Ulsh and Iva Smith. From the
very first the vote resolved itself to
three candidates. Bond, Ullom and
Smith. Each man received u vote
on each ballot. j. w. Klinefelter
held out for Bond, Major Titus was
strong for Ullom and Clerk Dix sup
ported Smith.
The board seemed to be hopeless
ly tied up when one of the trustees
suggested that they leave it to two
newspaper reporters who were pres
ent. The reporters were handed q
ballot and they unanimously sup.
ported Bond. Then the trustees took
another ballot resulting in Bonds
election.
A peculiar feature lof the final
vote was the manner in which the
trustees switched their ballots. Clark
Dix, who had been holding out
strong for the election of Iva Smith,
voted for James Ullom. Major Titus,
wishing to make the vote for Bond
unanimous, voted for the police cap
tain, not knowing that Mr.. Dix had
switched to his candidate. A motion
was promptly offered to make Bonds
appointment unanimous and was car
ried
The Office of constable carries with
N, fairly good salary. Police Cap
tain Link Bond has not announced
his future intentions. He will likely
work side lines in connection with
the Office which will afford him a
good salary.
Bond is a Republican. He Is con-
sidered one of the best men on the
local police force and his retirement
from that department will mean a
serious loss.
