Special to the Daily Leader.
Gushing, Jan. i1-The results ol
the election to create the new county
of Shaffer is in doubt. Both factions
claim victory.
On the face OF the returns the new
county is established by fair ma
jority. But there will be a fight-in
fact there has already been several.
But the last fight will be in the SUI
preme court.
The feeling between the new coun :
ty advocates and those who are OPP
posed, is bitter and growing more so
each hour.
Several tragedies have been avert
ed by a close margin; many fist
fights have been pulled off. -Four cleo
tion officers were arrested at Chand-
Ter. Lincoln county men opposing the
creating of the new county, say they
were trying to get away with the
boxes. They were Jailed. The Off
GERS say they were merely Following
instructions and were on their way to
Oklahoma City to deliver the vote to
the governor They were charged with
drunkenness.
The feeling is intense between
Cushing and Saltwater citizens. Each
faction is watching every move OF
the other.
The end is not yet. Trouble OF q
serious nature is brewing. There is
no telling when the final result vii
be announced. 1t may require the
state militia to secure the ballots o.
all the precincts.
In the Lincoln county part OF the
battle ground, the Anti-Shaffer coun-
tv people claim victory by the fol-
lowing score. For i0S, against 372
Sixty per cent OF the vote Is neces-
sary and therefore the new county
advocates lose that part of the pro-
posed county by 66 votes.
