A RECOUNT
In Case Of Election, on
Monday, at Bath.
Wilbur C. Oliver VIII Petition
Supreme Court Of Maine
To Decide If He, or Frank A. Small,
Is the Mayor.

Bath, Me-. March As the result OF
the inspection of the ballots cast in
the city election. Monday, Wilbur {.
Oliver, who on the face of the returns
was defeated for the Office of mayor by
Mayor Frank A Small, a Democrat by
seven votes, announced, today, that
he should petition the supreme court
for a recount.
Mr.. oliver declared his belief that
there were enough ballots manifestlF
intended for him, which were either
counted for his opponent or not count
ed at all, to assure his election.
This inspection was commenced,
Tuesday afternoon. by Judge Staples.
Mayor Small was notified of his intent
and at once secured County Attorney
Arthur II. Stetson and John j. keeSan
as his attorness and the work was not
completed until this noon. All the
wards were completed on "Wednesday
but this noon. the lawyers went
through few more of the defective
ballots now in dispute. They have
prepared copies of all ballots in dis
pute and upon these Judge Staples
viii base his petition.
While Judge Staples freely admits
that on the undisputed ballots Mayor
Frank A. Small. Democrat, who was
declared reelected. has a lead of Il
votes. the ballots in dispute he be-
lieves will more than offset this lead
and will ultimately return victory Tor
Mr.. Oliver.
Mr.. Oliver intends TO carry the mat

to his friends to do So He believes
that a majority of the voters in NOM

throw the ballots out as defective is
no reason why the voter should be
DISTINGUISHED without first carrying
the matter to the courts for decision
as to the constitutionality of accepting
or rejecting such ballots in question.
Mr.. Oliver carries this matter to the
courts without malice toward any
body and his action is being met in a
similar spirit by Mayor Small, who
says he welcomes a recount by the
court and feels confident that it will
result in an increased plurality for
him.

Death of a Western Pioneer.
Estella, Okla.

Spokane, Wash, Jan. 6.-Mrs. Geor-
gia Babcock, who died at Cheney,
Wash, recently, was one of the early
pioneers, going to st. John 30 years
ago with her husband, Washington A..
Babcock, from California, making the
trip by team. Mr.. Babcock died II
years ago. Mrs. Babcock was a mem
ber of the Donner party. She was
born in Springfield ILL.,, in December,
1871. In 1916 G. A. Donner Mrs, Bah
cocks father, accompanied by his wife
and children, started for California
overland in company of 81. The
party experienced danger and suffer
ing. Mr.. Donner received a flesh
wound and blood poisoning set in. 1t
became so severe that the party had
to leave him. His wife refused to go,
but got the party to take the children.
Neither she nor her husband were
rescued or heard from later. The chill
dren with the party went on to Cali
fornia, but to such extremes were they
driven that shoe leather and shoe
strings were boiled for food and the
flesh of those who died was eaten by
those who survived. Only as of the
81 who started reached California.
The early settlers united in caring for
the children The two youngest grew
up through the kindness of a Swiss
woman and after they grew to woman
hood they looked after their former
benefaetress Mrs. Babeock leaves
son, Frank b., and daughter, Mrs.
Edith NJ Foley, at Walla Walla. Wash.
