Series of Misfortunes.

O. W. Belden last Friday evening
received telegram giving the sad
news that his father is not expected
to live. The son left Saturday for
his fathers home in Nebraska, and
hoped to arrive there before the elder
Mr.. Belden passed away. Mr.. Belden,
who was y years Of age, paid his
two sons in this city visit last sum
mer, and was, at that time, in the best
of health. Some time ago, while
pairing corn, the old gentleman cut
in a little too deep and blood poison
ing resulted. Every possible effort
was made to stop the course Of the
poisoning, but evidently without sue
cess, as the telegram to this city
stated that there was no hope The
popular young Lewistown attorney
has the sincerest sympathy OF nu-
merous friends in his series of be-
reavements. Early III the autumn,
he returned one day from Nebraska,
where he had attended the funeral Of
brother-inlaw who had been killed
by horse. and the next day his only
child, little girl of seven years, was
stricken with infantile paralysis, from
which she is very slowly recovering
in sanitarium at Long Beach. Calf
He returned but short while ago
from the bedside of his daughter,
only to receive news Of third mis-
fortune in his immediate family.

Democratic Candidate for Sheriff Is
Thought to Be One Vote Ahead
by Unofficial Figures.
THE Count IS DELAYED
Failure of Nordquist and Judith Re-
turns to Reach the City Neces-
States Postponement.

Not until the commissioners COM
plete the official count some time this
week shall it be known who is to be
sheriff OF Fergus county for the next
two years. The difference will not
be over z either way, and one vote
may decide the contest in favor of
Tullock, the democratic nominee.
According to reports to the Demo
crat othce from every precinct in the
ounty, the vot now stands: Woods,
l,622; Tullock, LOIS, Or 7 in favor OF
Woods. 1t is contended, however,
by several parties who took down the
returns from the Third ward in Lew
istown, that Tullock's figures in that
precinct should be 13o instead of l3l.
as reported to this office that night.
If this contention proves to be the
case, the final count will stand:
Tullock, 1923; Woods, 1,622, giving
Tullock one the best Of it.
Tullock Makes Gains.
1t looked yesterday morning as if
Woods had the office sewed up, in
spite Of any difference in the Third
ward, but the report from Judith
gave Tullock II plurality, and Wilder
added four more, thus closing up the
gap. The friends of the two men are
on the anxious seat, but there should
not be much more delay in reaching
the final determination.
Two Returns Missing.
The members of the board OF
county commissioners met this morn
ing for the purpose of canvassing the
vote, but found that the returns from
Judith and Wilder are still missing,
so adjourned. Those returns will
likely get in on the train tonight and

BODIES ARE TAKEN EAST

Three comparatively recent arrivals
in this city have died within the pas,

last Friday, and within few hours
of each other, at the ST. Joseph hos

Presbyterian church, the Rev. Ernest
W. Wright officiating The remains

mer home in Illinois, being accom-
panied by sister, Mrs. Sandquist
and her husband
Fred Tracey was native of ILL
nois and 81 years of age. He came
to Lewistown last fall from one OF
the Central states, where he had dis
posed of some valuable property. and
purchased the Medigar ranch, a short
distance below the city, on Spring
Greek. He had started in to ranch
on big scale and was highly pleased
over the flattering prospects for sue
cess in his new home.
Personally, he was most likable
fellow and had made many friends in
his new home. On every side are
heard regrets for his untimely pass
ing.
Elmer J. Taper.
Elmer ]. Taper died Friday morn
ing, at 7 o'clock. but few hours be-
fore his friend, Tracey, had passed
away, the cause of death being the
same.

time was had. The games grow
more exciting as the series progress.
The eighth game of the series will
be held with Eaton Mclean, Tues

Election day was an eventful one
in Kendall. The schools were closed
all day, as was also the bank. The
saloons might be mentioned in the
list, as they were closed tight all day.
a great many ranchmen thronged
the streets, having come in to vote
Voting took place at Jones' hall
The visiting ranchmen were loath to
go home until returns were received
and they could have some idea of the
results of the election Needless to
say, at this late hour, the Kendall
vote was strongly democratic and
helped to swell the majorities piled
up by the democratic candidates.

Democrats Pleased.


The democrats have every reason
to be pleased with the outcome, as
they landed most of the important
offices. John Phillips, candidate for
county commissioner, will lose only
by few votes, but at that, made a
splendid race.
Miss Alice Glancy's defeat was a
surprise to her loyal democratic
friends, but it may be attributed to
the fact that the hackers of Miss
O"Hara succeeded in making a large
number of people believe that Miss
Clancy is in independent circum-
stances, while the reverse is true of
the republican candidate. Miss Clancy
made a hard campaign and her de-
feat cannot be attributed to any lack
of faith on the part Of the people in
her ability to fill the office had she
been successful

The figures show that Judge
Cheadle has plurality over Brantley,
his nearest opponent in the state, of

It is safe to say that the Fergus
jurist will carry his own precinct by

sufficient to elect him.

istown his home until the time of his
death. A quiet, clever, genial gentle
man, Mr.. Taper readily made friends
in this city and his untimely passing
cast gloom over the entire COM
