slid.

vile Monday to examine fhe W.. G,

Friday said thati it was reported in st
Francois county that the Republican,
in Iron county would make no effor
to eject more than two men on thei'

on these two and them alone. Tit
returns indicate that somebody in st
Francois county had a "hunch' OF
Iron county affairs.
