such as justice of the peace, con-

1t is believed that the vote in the
four precincts not recorded, Wood
Vile, Taber, Traflton and Willow
Creek, will not be sufficient to
change this lay of totals.

led by IA votes for commissioner
third district; Hamilton Wright led
Dickinson by 80; Jensen had s more
votes than Simmons for sheriff;

and Peck's votes exceeded Egli's
by 8.

Der given Dickinson; Jensen led
