Balmy Days Follow Cold, Wave

Our January thaw is trife early
this winter. the weather man having
made q serious mistake in some man
ner. After three weeks of cold wealth
er the temperature rose and TUESDAY
and Wednesday of this week were as
nice balmy spring days as one could
wish for.
The coolest drop reported was IA be-
low zero. The high winds that blew
steadily for several days drifted the
snow that fell so that some Of the
country roads are in poor condition for
travel. Very little difficulty was ex-
perienced by the railroad, most OF the
daily trains arriving here on schedule
time.
Coal dealers and railroad men have
reported very little coal moving dur
ing the past two months but we'll
venture to say that there was consid-
cradle moving during the cold snap
from the coal bin to the furnace.

City Has Holiday Guest

The city is entertaining a holiday
guest at tie city jail who, il his stor-
les are tue, is cutie a character He
IS the victim OF lots of trouble, he
claims. Last Friday night, Christmas
eve, he found himself without funds,
and. "a he was accustomed to eat at
least on Christmas day. he started out
to collect the necessary amount to buy
good dinner. VIM. Dougherty, bar
ber at the st. Hubert barber shop,
happened to be on his way home at
the time Mr. Bill MacCarty made his
decision and SO was the first victim.
Mr. MacCarty insisted that he was
only begging, when before Justice
Bleser, but it had all the appearances
of hold-up, so Dougherty uncorked
a right hook to the jaw and Mr.. Mac
Carly was stretched out on the side
walk. He did not linger there, how
ever, but exhibited considerable speed
and ability to get away from that
location.
Mr.. Dougherty turned in account Of
it and Night Watchman Murray pick
eel up the stranger. Judge Bleser
gave him ten DAYS on a vagrancy
charge and so that is how he came to
be guest of the city on Christmas
and New Years day.a
His checkered career has led him
all over the country, and he freely add
mits having been arrested and having
served time before. He claims to have
one-eighth Canadian Indian blood in
his veins, and that his father is the
owner of a $1,000 acre ranch just out
side Ell Paso, Texas. His stories are
being checked up, and if he is not
wanted somewhere else he will be
turned loose.

ROBERTS COUNTY'S
ELECTION CONTEST ENDS

The contest over the result or the
November election instituted by re-
publican candidates came to close
Tuesday afternoon when Judge An
derson decided the last of the legal
questions in favor OF the League al
tolnevs. This decision brot the case
down to the actual legal vote east
which was az follows:
Standardization, r., 2O34; Ris-
dorf, n p, 20lO.
Representatives stman, f, 2050;
Nelson, r., 2031; Founder, N. p, 2005
Sanders. n r., 2015
s Auditor-Pierson, r., 1893; Hanson
n. p, 1867.
Register OF DeedS-Gauper, r.. t.
9o5; Tear, n. p. 2O52
The case was decided upon the act
ual count of legal votes, no technical
object ions were sustained by the court
The vote of the entire county wa.
recOunted by tour tellerS, two ap-
pointed by the republican contestant
and two by the Non-partisan league.
The republican candidates were repre-
sented in court by Howard Rabcock
and c. K. Jorgenson and the League
by Batterton 4 Bundle. l.. j. Leary Of
Browns Valley and Geo. s. Rx of Mil
bank.
There We're several hotly contested
battles over the technical points of law
but in every case Judge Anderson rul-
Ell with the League attorneys. An
amusing incident occurred when AloieS
Cromhecke an alien, was put upon the
witness stand. He Nas one OF FIVE
aliens who had voteu in Sssoton.
Cromhecke said he knew he was not a
legal voter hut Felbaum non-parti-
san candidate and GourSeth a nonpart
san organizer had induced him to vote
The result Of the contest elects the
entire republican legislative ticket
and all the county officers except Reg
i>ter of Deeds and Sheriff which two
are nonpartisan. The general opinion
seems to be that the contest was a
good thing for all concerned. There
were about 5000 ballots cast in Rob
erts county and they We're counted bv
over 40 sets OF election officials. On
the face OF the first returns there was
from only few up to so odd votes
difference between the candidates ex-
cept the register. A slight error in a
few precincts would change the result
There We're stories of miscounting and
mistakes on all sides and no doubt the
majority of the nom -partisans We're
Just as anxious as the republicans to
have the matter settled fairly and
honestly. Even the candidates them
selves did not want to hold offices the,
were not Justly entitled to. Naturally
there will be some disappointmentS
but that was inevitable whichever wav
it went. The only protection the av-
erage voter has is an honest election
and fair count. Without it democracy
is q failure, OF course there are ugly
rumors Of intentional errors by Judge
in some precincts but we prefer to be-
liefe they We're unint entional errors
and there was no thought of fraud.
BY ruling out all tcchnicalties in
the case Judge Anderson has avoided
any suspicion of partisanship and non
paltisans and republicans alike are
glad that the matter is cleared up and
they will accept the decision as lust
and right Independent
