The Election in Lubbock

The election in Lubbock was a
very quiet affair. Little en-
thusiasm was injected into the
voting. The vote was hight in
all the boxes and no election
was held in Hockey and Cochran
counties. Two of the boxes
ha We not been brought in yet.
and we have not undertaken to
get a tabulated vote of the
county, but will give it next
week. There was no contests in
the county. All ran on the
democratic ticket except one
man for Justice of the Peace at
Slaton, and we understand he
failed to make the landing.
The votes of the general elec-
ton will be canvassed by the
County Commissioners next
Monday and the newly elected
officers will then take their
seats as soon as the necessary
bonds are made. which will be
merely a matter of getting them
filled in. The County Judge
and three commissioners and
one Justice of the Peace are the
new officers in this county.

Prize FIGHT IS
LIKELY NOT TO
bEHELDT0NORROW
Attorney General Stead Wires
that Steps Must be Taken
to Prevent Exhibition

A committee Of citizens have
started a movement to prevent the
boxing contest advertised for Mon
day night on the Ohio river in the
Cairo harbor. 1t is claimed by the
committee that the Illinois statutes
provide that anyone who leaves the
state and engages in such a fight or
promotes, instigates, or witnesses a
sparring or boxing exhibition shall
be subject to a severe penalty. One
of the members of the committee
stated last night that the mayor has
promised to exhaust all his resources
to stop the bout The sheriff's office
has received instructions from the
attorney general to use all diligence
to prevent the fight and Deputy
Sheriff Greaney has notified the pro-
,moters that any attempt to hold the
exhibition will result in their ar
rest.
Rev Eells, member of this com
mittee which instituted this move
ment, says: 'The committee feels
with all right minded citizens. that
such an exhibition would cause
Cairo to be regarded as the dumping
,round Of Paducah and other cities
where such bouts are not allowed
md to prevent such a discredit to
our city the committee proposes to
he on the job until the last minute. -
