General Angeles Here
On Way To San Diego

A great deal Of mystery attaches
to the gathering Of prominent Mex
leans at San Diego, representing sew
elal factions of that republic, and it
does rot seem to be by any means
certain just what the outcome is to
he. ~
Villa has been most insistent in de-
handing that the lands of Mexico be
taken from the big holdings and dl-
vided among the people of the conn-
try, ard many persons have surmised
that there might be some significance
in this connection to be attached to
the visit of Villas chief supporter,
General Angeles, to the border at this
time, while other interests are known
tC be working to bring about an adj
iustment with the holders of the large
tracts of land.

Sensational Development
In the Ballot Recount

There was a sensational affair in
the Superior court this morning in the
recount of the ballots in the contest
of the election of Judge Cole by u.
w. Brewer, when the bag containing
the ballots of Imperial South precinct
was found to have been slashed open
and the string on which the ballots
were strung had been cut.
On this discovery being made, Judge
Bledsoe declared that the integrity
of the ballots had been grossy vi =
lated, and he summoned Deputy Coun-
ty Clerk Thompson and Supervisor
Shepard to ascertain if possible when
this had been done.
1t was learned that the ballots had
teen left on the floor of the county
clerks office, there being no place
provided for safe keepng of public
documents, and the judge scored the
county for its recklessness in not pro-
viding security for public documents
of all kinds and ballots in particu-
lar.
The deputy testified that it was
Imperial Valley press., 1914-09-12

possible for a person to climb over
the low partition of the clerks of
flee and obtain access to the ballots
and lublc documents, and the Judge
ordered the clerk to go to some bank
and arrange for vault in which to
store the ballots.
There was long argument by the at
torneys in which it was urged that
the entire vote of that precinct should
he thrown out, but Judge Bledsoe re-
fused to grant motion to that eff
feet, and declared he would take
the official count by the supervisors
as the vote of the precinct.
AT noon the scrutiny of the ballots
had been completed, and only a few
details were to be taken care of be-
fore the rendering of the decision of
the court, which will be given this
afternoon.
Those who have been watching the
proceedings most closely are con-
vinced that the contest will not des-
troy the majority which was found
for Judge Cole on the official count
of the ballots.
