were only one hundred twenty-five receipts issued within the
prescribed time with the exemp would make the total
vote less than 200 for the county.
That ruling the matter for the inspectors of the cleo
ton will no doubt guided and allow all white democrats
who were qualified participate in the primary but
we still contend State County committee has the right
set aside any of the laws governing the election
While this with the most laudable intentions be

But night was approaching Taddy appeared.

at what she saw-daring Toodles was lying safe and

WILL FINISH PRISON
 IN TWO WEEKS
Construction of Cells Com menced and Roofing Now
 Being Placed

With the concrete construction at the new county jail practically completed, the work of installing the steel cells was commenced yesterday and within two weeks, the future quarters of the criminal element of Gila county should be practically completed.
 The steel cells are built on floor of quarter inch steel, resting on three inches of reinforced concrete. The gratings are of specially constructed steel, as are the ceilings of the cells. How any prisoner can make his escape from one of these enclosures is more than the average man can explain and a question which will probably never be solved by any prisoner confined in the new jail.
 The jail will contain twenty-four cells, built in three tiers, in the main cell room. In addition there will be a hospital cell, an insane cell and separate quarters for juveniles and women prs oners.
 The work of roofing the jail bu ld ing will be commenced within a few days, as will the work of finishing the interior of the structure. It is prob able that the entire building will be ready for occupancy within little more than month, as all the necessary ma terial is on the ground and there is little likelihood of any further delay.

NEWS BUDGET
 FROM SAFFORD (Mrs. W. D. French. Correspondent)

SAFFORD, May 24.-A full report of the results of Mondays election of town officers is as follows:
 For council: Citizens ticket-J. c. Robinson 57, H. J. Dowdle 61, Geo. P. Jacobson 62, z. c. Prina 72, Wm. Kirt- land 62 People s ticket--J. R. Welker 66, Dave Ridgeway GA, H. Houck 54, P. J. Jacobson 53, w. c. Faulkner SO.
 Clerk: Citizens ticket-R. P. Pat terson 72; peoples ticket-E. A. An derson 51.
 Marshal: Citizens ticket-W. N. Wilson.
 Charles Kreuger of the People s tick ct defeated George Elledge of the Cit izens ticket, for street commissioner.
 Many voters had their privileges withdrawn owing to the fact that no registration was made this spring and the register of two years ago was brought into service. This excluded all who had come to Stafford since then.
 The election of J. R. Welker on the Peoples ticket is meeting with oppo- sition by the friends of the Citizens ticket on the grounds of ineligibility. MT. Welker has been in business in Saf ford for over five years, but maintained his home in Layton. He sold his home property about two years ago, but con- tinued to live the in Layton district in
