instinct of motherhood within her that
had provoked her grief. At last she
dabbed her handkerchief to her eyes

Seth Earl put his wife aboard rfle

was gone upon their errand. And as
the hours rolled by he, too, was over
taken by the same impatience that
had overcome his wife on the proceed
ing day, and he, too found himself
busting the furniture and straighten-
ing the chairs as though human oc-
cupant were expected. And when at
last he heard a tinkle at the bell he

shaken.
Ada stood at the door, a basket in
her arms, and her eyes were bright
with happiness, and the look on her
face was almost like that she had
worn on their wedding day She en-

Ada? 1t must be puppy"
He jumped as child's feeble wall

wife in terror as, with motherly fin

disclosing a fine baby boy.

Contest Crosby's Claim to
Divide County Seat H0nors
Ambrose Launches Action, Charging That Several Pre-
c'ncts Balloted in Wrong Place-Also Claim
That Tally Sheets Were Canvassed.

Contending that the election officials
In at least eight precincts held the
election mt a place other than that
DESIGNATED as the official polling place
by the board Of county commissions
ers. and also that the canvassing
BOARD OF the county employed irregu-
lar methods in the counting of the
returns from six additional precincts,
Nels Nelson Of Ambrose has launched
q contest against the election by
which Crosby was chosen as the
county seatt of Divide county.
Crosby was, on the face of the re-
turns as reported by the c%anvassing
board. selected the county seat of Dl-
vide by a vote of 915 to 759 for Am
prose. Divide was created as a
" two years ago. and in the election
Iast November. the permanent county
seat was selected. Just prior to the
expiration Of the time limit within
whfch a contest could be launched.
Ambrose. through it's attorneys. ser
we'd notice of such contest.
Identical With Burke G county.
The grounds on which Ambrose
seeks to bring about the declaration
that the election is void are identical,
In a measure, to those used in Burke
county when Flaxton, though II had
a majority Of all the votes cast, lost
to Bowbells because in several pre-.
cincts the voting had taken place at
points other than the official estab-
lished polling place.
The eight townships in which it is
contended that the wrong polling
place was used, cast the following
vote:

cabs. It means a saving Of $3.50 for
each male student who has formerly
used a cab in driving to the. varsity
campus where the prom is given.
With the ban on flowers. another
saving of from $3.50 to IS is made.
The committees idea in placing the
ban on flowers and cabs is to cut down
the expense for students. so that the
affair. instead of costing from SO to
SIS for each couple. can be taken in
for about Sc or 81.
Dress Suits in Demand.
Dress suits are very much in de-
mand this year. There are a whole
lot to whom q dress suit is a luxury,
are very anxious to appear in the real
article on the night of the prom. and
they have been doing some tall skirm-
ishing in an effort to bring forth one
of the treasured outfits.

dents have been able to borrow dress
suits from down. town people, nut this

That this entire vote should be
thrown out because of the use of an
unofficial IL u~ndesignated polling
place. is the contention of the relator,
and should that be done. then AM
brose would have a majority Of the
votes cast in the remaining townships
and voting precincts.
Counted From Tally Sheets.
1t is further alleged hat the board
did not accept the official statement
of votes as returned by the precinct
c~anvassing boards. but, instead, used
the tally sheets in tabulating the
vote. The precinct officials, in enclos-
ing the returns to the county board,
include both the tally sheet and an
official return sheet. which is certi-
fed to. while the tally sheet Is not
certified. That no oficial return OF
the election was made in the follow
ing precincts is the additional plea on
which Ambrose seeks to have the Sc
lection of Crosby declared Illegal:
