fury in the tori and twisted heart of
the shaving wife. Her rage knows
no bounds. She seizes a pistol and
backs the husband against the wall
in their rude log cabin. Then she
makes the sister tie his hands with
rope and the line is thrown over a
beam in the ceiling. Keeping the

wrists until mis- toes are off the floor
and he is helpless. Then she takes a

Recount Charges Made
by G. O. P.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. s.
Timothy Nevill OF Roosevelt filed
in the county clerks Office a petition
~contesting the election in the Bor-
ough of Roosevelt of Joseph G.
Childs, Democrat. over Charles A.
Phillips, Republican, by four votes.
Phillips was declared elected by
twenty-four votes after the compile
ton of vote counting on election
night, while the Democrat vas de-
clared the winner after a recount.
The matter will be heard in the cir
cult court within fifteen to thirty
days after the fling of the bond.

company was approved by Justice

that about one hundred ballots
counted by the county board were
not numbered by the district board,

~ board.

sive, were missing when the recount

for the petitioner and the other Re-
publican candidate. Hill, and sub
stituted ten ballots for the Demo
cratic candidates. These ballots, il
Is charged, were taken from thos'
unused, so as to mislead the county
board.

marked or defaced five ballots votet
| for the petitioner. so at the recoun
same could not be voted for the pc.
titioner.
