cape from death. He was approaching
the Wabash crossing on Center street
in The early morning. when suddenly
the morning train gilded out from be-
hind the box cars a the side of the
road, and only by jerking the horses
forcibly backward and their heads to
one size were they saved from being
struck by the train. Had it not been

Green probably would not have seen
the train until TOO late.

An interesting question arose in this
city in connection with the vote on
delegates TO the republican county con-
vention, the claim being made that
pastors containing the names of pro-
posed delegates which contained
squares on the pastors were not in
conformity with the law. The objec-
ton TO counting all such ballots were
entered. by c. n. George. By agree
ment the decision of the contest was
left with the judges in the Second
ward, it being agreed that the action
taken there would govern in all the
precincts in the city, The judges
took into consideration the intent of
the voters and decided the ballots
should be counted, Notwithstanding the
fact that written opinions from Judge
Wolfe and Attorney E. L. Miller were
submitted holding that the pastors
were clearly in violation Of the cleo
ton laws. On the other hand an opin-
ion from Attorney General Byers was
submitted. holding that the pastors
were all right.
