Tuesday and was attended byya crowd
which filled the room.
Mr.. Stokely claimed tnat a. clerical
error had been made on the night of

to which he was entitled and that a

was at least tied with Mr.. Burke in
legal votes cast and that IL certain
illegal votes were thrown out that he
would have a majority.of the votes
cast for the two men, which would
entit!e him to the Office.
Mr.. Burke made practically no-de-

votes while Burke had but 209, and
One ballot, which. was check marked

TO rule on this ballot as it was not a

elusive as to the man who had receiv-
ed the most votes.

Stokely brought out the fact that the

One of the first questions before the
court was the question of the county
paying the corporations Tor water at
the Jail. 1t was shown that the cor
poration had submitted bill for $75
for water from December to October,
and this in the eyes of a majority of
the court was considered excessive.
The chairman pointed out that there
had been considerable leakage and
that he was three days in getting
same remedied. The corporation re-
presentatives took tie view that the
county was responsible for every drop
OF water which passed through the
meters. The bill was finally ordered
paid, but not until a resolution had
been introduced which states that the
corporation will either nave to pay the
county 500 year for the keep of its
prisoners or else allow the county free
use of the corporations water for the
Jail.
The chairman was authorized to see
that the court house was repaired and
