II was afterwards claimed that Viel
had two more votes than Summers.
Then again It seemed likely that Mr..
Fayle had been defeated by Snyder
but that result too became doubtful
the day after the election, with
slight probable lead for Fayle.

Stroud, the Democratic candidate
for sheriff. had total OF more than
400 votes ahead of his Republican
opponent, while Fayle ran neck-and-
neck with Snyder.
Gilbreath beat one OF the most
popular of all the Republican candi-
dates in Eddie Yearian.

Large Stakes Held Up.
In view of the probable action in
court to settle the controversy that
may arise over alleged Irregularities
good many election bets are said
to be hung up. Upward OF six
thousand dollars was wagered over
the Viel.Summers result alone,
which may not be finally determined
without resort to the courts. II Is
said to be generally agreed among
the makers of these bets that the
stakes shall be held by the stake
holders pending final settlement II
the contests arise.
Partly One.sided.
The Presidential electors on the Re
publican ticket received a twoto-one
vote. or something like IL when all the
precincts are in: for instance on the
incomplete count with three precincts
missing the figures stand 1850 to $50.
And so on down the list. Gooding was
to the best OF 1t $50 to Nugents650.
Rice, 97S TO Iron 500, Davis $50 to
Walters 500. The state treasurers
and mine inspectors stood in the same
proportion in the count.
There was no fight at all il seems
over State senator and representative,
Whitcomb leading Shaw By 500 and
Snook leading Mulkey $50.
Burieigh is in the lead over Caster
lin BY upward Of $50. while Gilbreath
leads Yearian for treasurer By mar
row ten or twenty votes. The differ
ence in Halls favor over Cronkrite
for probate Judge is about 100. while
Crandall leads Merritt $50 for sur
