Gives Incumbent A Fur
ther Lead of Three
Votes; 10 Majority

Last Friday Judge Dana Brinck
gave his decision on the opening Of

was discrepancy in the sta
tute as il was not provided that the
tally list was an Official return, there
by making the ballot themselves the
best obtainable evidence. II was
then ordered that the ballot boxes be
brought into the court room Attor-
ney J. G. Watts. for Mr.. Trathen,
offered an objection to the opening
Of the boxes because he stated that
there had been no proof offered TO
the effect that the returns were not
correct, that there was no proof of
fraud or error on the part of either
the judges of the election or the can
vassing board and stated that the
ballot boxes themselves. after the
election had not been held according
to law. His objection, however, was
oyerruled.

from it was found to agree with the
one that was presented to the board
Of canvassers and gave Ruberry SO
and Trahen 81, an actual count OF
the tallys however, showed that Ru-
berry had only 4S instead of SO and
nrathen 81. The court then proceed
ed to count the ballots and County
Clerk Hobbs kept the tally. The fin
al results showed that Ruberry had
received only forty votes and Trath-
ems votes were not counted. This
result would give the present incum-
bent lead of 10 votes over his op-
ponent and Judge Brinck declared

GIRL INJURED
in AUTO SMASH
Miss Iona Grove Confined to
Bed For Week AS Result
of Injuries Sustained
In Auto Accident

A Ford coupe, containing seven
passengers, turned turtle last Sunday
afternoon near the A. A. Stevens resi-
dence on south Canyon street. The
car was travelling at speed of ap-
proximately forty miles an hour,
while racing with another machine
and in attempting to make the turn
turned completely over and aside
from few cuts and bruises the other
occupants of the car escaped unin-
jured. 1t seems that Alvin Tindall,
of Tindall, Idaho, was driving the
car and had been racing about the
city strets for some little time with
a bug" that was driven by p.
Rhody. The drivers of both cars
were placed under arrest by Sheriff
Stevens and were fined $40 and costs
in Judge Manion's court on Monday
morning.
The premiscous speeding about the
streets of Mountain Home has be-
come to be menace to pedestrians
as well as endangering the lives of
the occupants of the cars. The city
ordinance places the speed limit
within the city at fifteen miles per
hour and many drivers have gotten
to disregard the ordinance complete
ly. Only last Saturday evening af-
ter the dance the main streets of the
city would give one the impression of
an auto race meet. Cars were speed
ing in every direction At the city
limits notices are posted to the effect
that the limit is fifteen miles per
hour but despite this fact the stages
that pass through the city twice daily
come ino the village at a rate of
approximately thirty-five miles per
hour. For the protection of drivers
who do observe the city ordinance
and pedestrians as well, some dras-
tic action should be taken for the
protection of the public from the
stunts of the speed bug.
