SMALL VOTE POLLED.
There Being Bus Few Contests in the
County the Vote at Tuesdays
Election Was Light.


town of Vaughn the election here
last Tuesday passed off quiet and
peacefully, and due to the lack of
interest on account of this state of
affairs the vote polled was compar-
atively light. Messrs. Meade, Frs
paner and Makela were not oppos-
ed and hence will serve as our town
board the coming year. For clerk,
the present incumbent, W E. Pawn
ter, was opposed by Thos. Morris,
the latter winning out by majori-
ty of 80 votes. In the race for the
office of treasurer E. M. Reible was
reelected, defeating his opponent,
Domenic Rubatt, by % votes. The
total vote cast in the town of
Vaughn was 341.
At the annual town meeting the
reports of the clerk and treasurer,
were read as usual. The reports
showed the total cash receipts for
the year from all sources to have
been $62, 38O.76. The total expen-
ditures for the year were $50, ,603.-
"a, leaving a balance of $9,777.O2.
The sum of 81 500 was appropriat-
ed for highways, $500 for the IL
brary and 81 900 to build approach
es to a viaduct on Third avenue
crossing the Chicago & Northwest
ern and 500 line railroads, provid-
ing the railroad companies can be
prevailed upon to erect the viaduct.
Eschweiler carried the town of
Vaughn in the judicial election,
receiving 81 votes, with Fowler
second with So votes. Eschweiler
also carried the town of Knight,
and was tie with Fowler in the
town of Montreal. The rest of the
towns went for Fowler, however,
his plurality in the county being II
votes. The result of the judicial
election in the state shows that
Eschweiler was elected with Tur-
ner runner up. The first reports
indicated that Fowler Yas second,
but later he was outdistanced by
Turner.
In the town of Vaughn Wilson,
Democrat, received 1O4 votes, while
LaFollette, Republican. received
79. The returns show that Wilson
won over LaFollette in the county.
The LaFollette delegates to the
convention won in the
county over the uninstructed Re-
publican delegates headed by Cook.
In the state. however, the LaFol-
lette delegates were defeated.
Following is the result in the
various towns in the county and on
page four will be found a table
showing the national delegate vote
and the vote for Justice of the su-
preme court in the county.

AS for Willard. IL must be said thar
he is just as good r fighter as he want
20 be. If the sole mission iu life OF RI
heavyweight is TO knock his opponents
out. Willard is not a great heavy
weight. He has no particular desire 10
see his opponents 20 under. A victory
is victory, and that is enough for
him Moran is a tough man. but 10 Ger

As a matter OF fact, after he had
driven Moran half way round the room
he suddenly slackened hi, pace. stepped
back and grinned good naturcdly. Now
and again Willard put on his lighting
face. but it simply would not stick. It
took no more than a couple Of success

After all. Willard knows that he rs
the best heavyweight i'm the world, and
he does not grud"e life and living 20
few more. Jess Is q genial soul And
why not? With that long lett arm and
his snappy right uppercut. Jess should
find lighting just about the best fun IN
