ORDER BALLOTS DESTROYED
Phillips County Gives Majority of Only
 3o8 Votes to Brund dee.

Western Newspaper ;'r!on News Service.
 Heiena.-The Phillips County Demo cratic Central Committee met at noon aud canYassed the returns of this county The official count was as fol lows:
 Brundidge. 1851: Hays, 1,043.
 The result gave Brundidge lead of 30S votes in this county The vote for circuit judge showed Jackson of Helena to have 2.347 and Cypert of Soarcy, 4S. By resolution the ballot boxes were ordered turned over to the sheriff and the ballots destroyed.
 The vote in the gubernatorial race was a surprise to many as it openly was predicted that Brundidge would lead Hays by more than 1000 votes There was little prediction sentiment for Hays and the vote was more sur prising on that account. It is said however. that the race for circuit judge affected the vote in this county for governor. Brundidge probably would have received a larger majority it is said, if Cypert of Searcy, Brun- didges home town, had not been op- posing J M. Jackson of Helena for cir cult judge

No More Cattle

turned from an extended tour over
that portion of western South Dako'a
which formerly was included in the
great cattle range region. He takes
occasion to dispute the correctness OF
reports recently circulated that the
region is being reclaimed and seoc-
cupied by the cattlemen. He states
that the region continues to be occu-
pied by homesteaders, who will stick,
as they are commencing to learn to
farm to advantage. Many of them
are stocking their farms with good
herds of dairy cattle and beef stock
and are in other ways diversifyins, so
they no longer are compelled 10 de-
pend solely upon the production OF
