REPUBLICAN CLAIMS ELECTION.
Contest Likely in Akers Township
Over Constable.

In Akers township it is probable
that the election of a constable will
be the cause of a contest. Byrd
Pruitt was given the certificate Of
nomination by the board and r. Ross
claims that he is entitled to the Of
fee. Pruitt is a democrat and Ross
is a republican. The county cleo
ton board had heard that Ross was
elected in that township and they
gave especial attention and care to
the counting of the votes. The votes
at each box We're looked over care
fully and added two different times
and the result gave Pruitt majority
of three votes. The contest, IL 1t is
heard, will not change the result I'M
less the counters in some Of the pre-
cincts made errors in the report to
the county election board. The
friends of Mr.. Ross claim that ne
won the election by from ten to
twelve votes.

A BUSY DAY IN
POLICE COURT
JUDGE GAIT FINDS MOTLY
BUNCH AWAITING HIM THIS
MORNING.

Il drink whisky, sniff coke, smoke
dope, drink coffee, tea, and milk, and
on rare occasions take drink OF wa
ter" was the confession OF one
Stephens, who was picked up by the
police about 2 o'clock this morning
in an alley on the east side, and who
seemed to have shot of every
one OF the above, inasmuch as he was
willing to fight the whole police de-
partment, and then some. He was
hauled to the station and this morn
ing Judge Gait had to pass judgment
on his case. He was still under the
influence of his pet combination and
as he had no money he will have a
chance to get sober assisting Superin-
tendent Moore in beautifying the
city streets.
Some time ago. a negro by the
name OF Friday" Williams who has
the reputation of getting the money
at the point of a knife or gun, II
necessary, was arrested and made a
getaway. He went TO Wynnewood
and made negro poker game troupe
come across with all the cash they
had, amounting to something like
$3.50, and hiked out.
Last night it was learned that
Friday" was in the city at resort
on the east side, and the officers got
on his trail and placed him under
arrest. Almost simultaneously with
his arrest a telegram was received
from the authorities at Gainesville
TO be on the lookout for a negro
who answers the description OF Fri
day" to a dot, but who was known
there as Haywood Clayton, and who
was wanted for the killing of his
wife which occurred Saturday night.
The officers We're notified and they
will be here today to pass upon the
identity of the negro. No disposition
of his case was made today pending
tkeir arrival
Besides the cases above mention
ed, there We're six persons up for
one party confessed
that he had adorned the mourners
bench of the city court as many as
twenty times. He was given the
limit and will assist the street de-
partment for some time unless some
one comes across with money to pay
the fine. All the others drew the
regulation fine of ten dollars. Some
paid, but some had to go to the streets
to satisfy outraged justice. The way
of the vag and the habitual drunkard
is indeed becoming rocky in this
city.

PLAYS AND PLAYERS

ter viii be presented at the Grand
in the near future with an all star
cast, comes here from brilliant sue
cesses at the Lyric theater in New
York and at the Grand opera house,
Chicago, and a return engagement in
New York this season.
This drama which is in three acts
and three scenes possesses many
novelties, and is fraught with in
tense human interest. 1t is a story
of the far north. The treatment of
the theme-the attempt Of an Amer
lean railway engineer to betray the
daughter OF a Scotch settler with
whom young French-Canadian is in
love--is handled boldly yet skillfully
by Mr.. Walter, who has provided at
least, one climax that takes rank
with the most thrilling ever devised
fo- the American stage. 1t is the
dreI in the dark, in which the victor
is only distinguished by the glimmer
CO a match.
The same all star cast, each of
the six characters being ideally east,
Will be seen in the production here.

WITHIN THE TOWN..

-Yorkville Is now possessed OF. most
of the comforts of large sized city.
The lost pin advertised in the last
issue of The Enquirer, was promptly
returned to this office by DR.. NJ. w.
White.
Quite number of people have been
trying to persuade Mr. Sam M. McNeel
to provide the town with an opera
house as a part Of the upper stories Of
his proposed block Of new buildings,
and the word has gone out that he in
tends to do so; but he has not so an
nounced yet.
The visit of Mr.. D. HI Winslow, T..
S. superintendent of road construction
to this county, Is the result Of an earn
est request that was sent in by Mayor
Hart some time ago. Mayor Hart
wanted the superintendent to give in
structions with reference to the pro-
posed construction Of sand and clay
roadways along some Of the streets Of
Yorkville. The road department, how
ever, advised that it confines it's as
sigtance to the construction of country
roads exclusively and then Mayor Hart
asked for a little personal supervision
of proposed work on roads leading out
of the town.
Congress street, from Liberty to
Madison, has become a great white way
at night The change has been brought
about by the installation of a system OF
Tungsten lights, upon which Messrs.
Barnwell and Berry have been working
for some weeks. The electricity was
turned on for the first time last Satur-
day night, and the result was highly
pleasing to everybody. The street gave
the suggestion of the arrival of car
nival. 1t was almost as light as day
from one end to the other, and the very
lights in the store seemed to be dim
med by the general blaze. The pres
ent plan Is to burn the new lights un-
til about II o'clock.
