her. DIR. Mccoy agreed to let the girl
go home with her father on condi-
tion that she should be properly dis
infected. and she and her father
started homeward.
Lover-like, she had to have one
more last word, and back she rushed
into her lovers arms. The doctor was
in a quandary. 1t was awkward to
keep the girl in quarantine with her
lover and it was awkward to let her
out. He did his duty to the public
and pronounced her sentence, much
to her delight. Free to nurse the
man she loved no incidental diff
culties occurred to her.
Her father thought of other things
and he presented the doctor with a
ten dollar bill with which to defray
the costs of wedding ceremony, and
the doctor faithfully promised, on
his word, that the wedding would
take place with all haste.
Thereupon, the father went, and
the doctor was left with the delicate
job of getting a minister into the
tent.
He appealed to the sheriff's Office
for aid, but could get little assistance
there. Everyone seemed to think
that it was solely his affair, and no
minister could be found who wanted
to kiss the bride.
So they wait in the smallpox tent,
the man who has it and the girl who
will. They wait for the domino to
come and make them one, and DR..
Mccoy wears a slightly worried look.

WILL CONTEST THE
ELECTION
Conconully Vets Say They
Have Won-Take Mat
ter Into Court.

A contest of the liquor election in
the town of Conconully has been
decided upon by the "wets,' after
several conferences, according to the
Conconully Record, and E. K. Pen
dergast has been retained as their
attorney.
The bond to cover costs in the
suit is probably already on file with
the superior court as this paper goes
to press.
On the acceptance Of this bond,
a petition, signed by five voters AMI
setting forth the grounds of the
contest, may be filed in the superior
court. It would then be the duty of
the court to summon Town Clerk
Weeks to appear in court on behalf
of the town, the day Of hearing to
be set not less than five nor more
than fifteen days after the filing of
the petition.
The superior court, according to
statute, has final jurisdiction to hear
and determine such cases as this.
The grounds on which the contes.
will be brought are that two "dries"
made their crosses outside the
squares on the printed ballots, and
that one dry" presumably J. P.
Adam, is not a citizen of the United
States.
Mr.. Adam came to the United
States from Austria with his father
when a boy and was still under age
when his father was naturalized.
This fact, it is generally contended,
makes him a citizen. He has voted
regularly and has proved up" on
homestead.
However, Mr.. Adams case will
make no difference If two other
dry" ballots are thrown out on the
grounds set forth. If one "dry"
vote were found illegal the result
would be tie, 33 to 33, but the law
provides that in case Of tie in
unit, the unit must be "dry." But
if two "dry" votes were declared IL
legal, the town would remain "wet."
Unofficial returns have been re-
ceived from thirty precincts out of
the thirty-two. These give the
dries" 954 votes and tho "wets"
1926. The county canvassing board,
consisting of County Auditor Hub
bard, Prosecuting Attorney John
stone and County Commissioner
Wright, probably will meet on June
II to canvass the election.
The figures received since last
weeks report follow:
