If the statement is true that our old
friend T. H. Tilson and Miss Annie
Campbell of this vicinity are married,
we're mighty glad of it. Henry is
unlike the flower that was "born to

all of this. He is good farmer and

same way. We wish Mr.. and Mrs.

Two Townships.

county has the unique distinction Of
having two sheriffs. Both were de-
clared to be duly elected and both have

This remarkable situation was
brought abOut today when the canvas.
sing board of the county reconvened
and threw out the whole vote of two
townships, thus giving Frank Heley
Il majority of forty-twO votes over
George Moody.
Moody. according to the original re-
turns OF the canvassing board, was
elected by eight votes. He qualified
and was sworn in, but Heley, who was
the former sheriff, absolutely refused
to turn the office over.
: Moody began mandamus proceedings
to make Healy relinquish the office,
and the case is now pending in court.
in h meantime the canvassing board
met today as was stated, and by
throwing out the vote of the two town.
ships, declared hat Healy was elect
ed by a majority of forty votes.
Heley at once qualified and was
sworn in, which gives the county two
legal SheriffS and makes the tangle
even more complicated than it was be-
fore.
