THE CONTESTJDECIDED.
Ordinary Mattox Renders His De*
cision Last Thursday.
The contest case was decided
last Thursday, the decision of the
court being that the prohibition
ticket was elected.
It will be remembered that the
race was very close. When the
vote was counted it was found that
H. B. Kirby had 68 votes; E. N.
Martin 67 and D. P. Henley 66, on
the wet side, while on the dry side
E. W. Sturdivant had 66. T. P. Tay
lor 66, J. A. Branner 65 and J. W.
Pitts 63. Kelly Bitting, who was
on both tickets, got 127. G. D.
Hollis was elected Mayor and J.
W. Cain, Recorder, and neither of
these was contested. I nder this
state of affairs only three council
men were elected, two wet, and Mr.
Bitting, who was on both tickets.
This, with Mr. Hollis as Mayor,
gave the wots the majority.
The managers of the election
were A. M. Street, W. B . Hollis
and William Moore, all of whom
were pronounced dry men.
G. J. Moyers, in behalf of the
prohibitionists, stood at the win
dow through which the votes were
passed, all day long to challenge
illegal voters on the wet side, while
Charley Kellett did the same for
the other side. In view’ of this
fact, and further that every one of
the managers was strongly for the
dry side, it was a source ot surprise
to the wets that within thirty min
utes after the result was announc
ed the dries stated that a contest
would be filed on the ground of
fraudulent votes.
The prohis contested 36 votes
on the wet side, while the antis
contested 81 on the dry side. The
court decided that 32 out of the
36 wets were illegal, while he held
that 26 out of the 31 dry votes were
illegal, thus giving the drys a ma
jority of 7.
The votes of nine non residents
wore thrown out on the wet side.
(»f these nine, four had been pay
ing had been paying street tax for
years, and no question had ever
before been raised as to their being
non residents.
However, after the contest was
filed, measurements were made by
J. A. Branner, one of the contes
tants °n the dry side, who testified
that they were all outside the half
mile limit. The other 5 went out
because they bad not lived in town
the required time.
Five votes were thrown out on
the dry side for being non residents
only one going out on a measure
ment; the others because they had
not lived here the full six months.
Next comes the plain, straight
defau’ters, of which there were 6
on the wet side, against whom
there was three fifas. On the dry
side there were 13 straight defaul
ters, against whom there was 11
fifas.
Next are those who did not give
in tax but who paid a single tax
before the election. Os this class
l there was son the wet side and 2
jon the dry. Their votes were
thrown out because they had not
I been double taxed, and the collec
tor had not double taxed them be
cause they could have been relieved
of this, in most cases, by making
ad affidavit before the Ordinary at
a cost of a dollar, and it would not
have added a cent to the taxes of
the state. He accepted the single
tax to save them cost.
Next comes those who held ac
l counts against the collector, and
who approached him for a settle
ment, but were put oil’ because of
a lack of time, quite a number of
taxpayers from a distance coming
I in during the last week in Decem-
I her. Os this class there was 7 on
the wet side and 6 on the dry.
Up to that time the illegal votes
I stood as follows:
Wet Dry
Nori residents 9 5
Straight defaulters 6 13
Failed to give in but
paid single tax 5 2
Those having accounts
against collector 7 6
27 26
Then follows five votes for the
wets which were thrown out under
the following showing:
One of the most highly respected
citizens of the county, had a depo
sit at the bank, and told the col
lector to call there and Mr. Bitting
would pay him. The collector did
not call, but Mr. Bitting of his own
accord in straightening up his
books on December 31st. placed the
amount of his tax to Mr. Knox's
credit on his bank book. from
which moment it was subject .o
Hr. Knox's check. The receipt
was not issued until some da' e la- j
ter, yet the vote of this gray haired
pioneer was thrown out on the
charge of being a tax defaulter.
-Another gentleman had an ac
; count against Mr. Knox for pror
fessmnal work which more than I
I covered his taxes and had arranged
with Mr. Knox to settle in this
way, but because he failed to get a
receipt his vole was thrown out.
An employe of the stave mill, a
man of large family, had asked
Knox to pay his tax and wait on
I him for it until pay day which was
tl e end of December. Mr. Knox
agreed to do this but did not tear
out the receipt and deliver it, and
the vote went out.
The evidence as to Nick Mont
gomery was that the collector, to
the best of his recollection, thought
he had paid, and felt sure of it if
no fifa was produced. No such fifa
was forthcoming nor other proof
submitted, yet his vote went out.
Will Sturdivant, wet, was thrown
out as a non resident. He swore
that he had worked and slept in
town all the time but had took his
meals at his mother’s, out of town
for about six weeks.
On the dry side it was shown
that there was a tax fifa against
H. H. Mouzoi and David Speer.
Mozon failed to give in and Kn6x
issued a fifa against him for 19
cents. When the bailiff tried to
collect it Mouzon told him thatke
i didn't understand it, as he had
never paid any’ taxes m his life.
| The fact was not clearly establish
jed whether Mouzon owned the
j goods in his house, or whether he
I owned anything but his wearing
■clothes and a watch. His vote
was held legal. The fifa against
Dave Speer, colored, had entries
on it made by the bailiff in Dirt
. town district. Dr. Jones testified
that he knew Dave Speer in Dirt
town in 1884 and 1885; that he re
moved from there to Walker coun
ty where he saw him at intervals
until he removed to this place,
something like two years ago. His
vote was held to be legal, it being
held by the court that Dr. Jones’
evidence did not identify him clear
ly. Both of these voted dry, and
were allowed to remain in.
These last seven votes, 5 on the
wet side and 2 on the dry, kept in
--or Hh-ow-h—iffT-as rd-ated,' is—wfrot
decided the contest.
J. W. Cain has resigned as Re
corder, taking the position that if
his ticket was not elected, he
wasn’t either, and under these cir
cumstances. he thought the right
thing to do was to resign.
The News has endeavored to
give the facts in the case, fairly’
and impartially. The case from
the beginning has excited consid
erable interest throughout the
county and to meet this demand
for information this article is pub
lished. Great pains have been ta
ken to present the case fairly. If
anything has been stated in away
that will unjustly prejudice either
side of the case it will gladly be
corrected.
From the facts as presented peo
ple can draw their own conclusions.
When the dry’ side began the con
test they claimed that there was
not an illegal vote on their side,
! but that they’ had been beaten by’
fiand. Statements were made and
rumors circulated to the effect
that the wet men had “stolen eight
or nine votes,” and that they had
practiced fraud generally. That
the people may know whether these
i charges were true or not, and if
they were true whesher the other
side had benefittatl by’ fraudulent
votes, these facts are given. Form
your own conclusions.

And when he got sober he had but

The Bond Issue.
Some days ago Secretary Car
lisle advertised for bids for the
$100,000,000 bUiids that it was de
cided to issue to maintain the gold
reserve, and last Wednesday’ the
bids were opened in M ashington
when it was found that a total of
$558,269,850 had been offered.
The bonds bear 4 per cent inter
est and run thirty years, and none
of them will go at less than 1.10,
as enough bids have been made at
that figure, and in excess of that,
to more than take up the hundred
million.
The secretary of the treasury is
said to be greatly pleased at the
result, as tending to show the
strong faith the people have in the
financial stability’ of the govern
ment, and incidentally his admin
istration of its financial affairs.

The Story of a Sheriff,
The “Three Sevens” outfit w. n s
camped in the cottonwood up on
Paladuro creek, close to the line
of No Man’s Land, and every one
was busy, for it was the season of
the spring round-up says the Phil
adelphia Times. No Man's Land
is that long, narrow strip of the
Indian Territory that prevents
northwest Texas and southwest
Kansas from coming in contact.
Os course, it is out of the jurisdic
tion of either state, and for years
Uncle Sam’s officials zealously a
voided it for many reasons.
Late one afternoon the sheriff
of Broncho county camo riding in
to camp inquiring for Denny Mur
phy. The sheriff's sudden appear
ance occasioned no surprise, for a
warning of the same had preceded
i him fully three hours, and as ajdi
■ rect result, Mr. Murphy, one of the
i best cowmen in the whole circuit,
rode calmly over the border and
into the land where subpoenas
camo not and warrants lost all
their validity.
A few days before the fugitive
had been on one of his periodical
i tears dowu in the little settlement
|of Quirtville and been far more
i turbulent and violative of the
1 peace and dignity of Broncho
I county than usual. He had club
' bed the piano player in French
Pete’s dance hall nearly to death
[ with the butt of his six-shooter;
had shot out all the lights and
window panes in the resort; also
three fingers from Pete’s good right
hand, and then had ridden away
defiant, vociferous and unscathed.
The after-clap was now present in
the “Three Sevens” camp in the
shape of the sheriff and those doc
uments that begin so sarcastically
I with the word “greeting.”
But, to use a slang phrase, the
outfit gave the sheriff the laugh,
informing him that Denny had
“moseyed;” that as a cowman
there was too much doing for him
to spend any time attending to
such minor affairs; that the sheriff
wculd have to wait until the round
up was over, and that he had bet
ter get down stake his horse and
spend the night, for it was getting
late and Quirtville was a long ride
back. The sheriff promptly ac
cepted the invitation . He was an
to chasing rainbows.
During the winter just passed
some of the boys had been visiting
civilization down in Fort Worth
and had attended the theater
Their minds being still filled with
the glories of the experience, they
diverted the camp fire talk after
supper to things theatrical. This
brought out the sheriff strong, for
he had in his day been all over the
country and never lost an oppor
tunity of attending the playhouse.
“Boys,” said he, “I’ve seen a fel
ler called Booth play the part of a
devil named lago so that my fin
gers itched to get hold of my gun .
I’ve seen a dago named Salvini
play a pai t named ‘The Outlaw’
all in dago talk, but I didn’t have
to know that lingo to know that
he was a worst used man than any
that ever set foot in these whole
United States. There’s a woman,
too, Clara Morris; she gave a chill
that lasted a week. But I’ve seen
a man, a common, plain man, who
could lay over them all. I saw
him do just one piece of acting
and right after I had to hang him.
“It was a good while ago, just
after they got to electing me sher
iff, I had a man in jail and two
deputies were staying right with
him all the time,’cause we couldn’t
take no chance of his getting away,
him being convicted of murder and
waiting for his day to come to be
hung in. It was a mighty mean,
low down murder, too. Jury wasn’t
out more’n five minutes over it.
His lawyers had tackled all the
courts he could get into, but it was
no go, and the fellow’s time was
sure coming—only a couple of days
off, it was. I think even right
then old man Dunn and his car
penters were out in the jail yard
working away on the gallows.
••Well, on this day, when you
could hear them carpenters knock
ing and sawing back in the yard,
who comes into my office room,
where I was sorting out some pa
pers, but this feller’s lawyer and a
little old lady dressed in black
clothes. She was a mighty nice
looking old lady, leaningconsider
ably against the lawyer, like she
was nervous and tired. The lawyer
tells me that she has an idea that
the feller we were going to hang
was her boy. He’s been loose from
her a good lot of years and she
wasn’t certain it was him. but she'd
took up the notion somehow and
wanted to see to make sure,
“Bovs. 1 was broke up. I sorter:
ifelt her notion was right. These]
here women f Iks is what makes I
hangings mighty tough for sher- ■
iffs. When a man thinks of a fel
ler's mother it gets right next to
him, sure.
“Course, I couldn't do nothing but
agree, and I went them, unlocking
tho doors and feeling bad. When
we got to the cell there was the
feller sitting on a stool reading a
bookin the light that sifted
through the bars of his little win
dow hole. The two deputies were
right there, too. cue on each side,
looking glum and sour, for this
guarding business is a tough, moan
job.
“The feller was a big, stout man
over six foot high. He had thick
1 whiskers over his jaws and chin.
, They were black as a crow and his
face had the prison bleach on. He
i hadn’t taken any care of himself,
so had a shaggy, animal sort of a
. look about him.
' “It wasn’t much light in there,
and there wasn't much room. The
guards stood a little to one side
' and the man stood up as we come
'; in looking mighty curious at the
', little old lady.
j “She was all in a tremble and
| staggered toward him, her poor old
i shaking hands stretched out. She
was saying:
I “‘George, George! My poor,
poor boy. It’s your old mother
i come to you.’
“I’ll never forget to my dying
day how pitiful her voice sounded.
There come a big lump in my
throat right there. But the man
kinder drew back and looked at
her sorrowful-like for a second or
two. His face never give him a
way, nor his voice either. He says:
“ ‘Madame, there is one happi
ness still left me. I can convince
you of your mistake. Some like
ness there might be, but I am not
your son. 1 never saw you before
in my life. My mother died years
ago. She has been spared the
pain of seeing me here, as you can
also go away relieved of the thought
that your son is as I am.’
“He talked so steady, so sure, so
naturally sorry for the lit le old
llldy,. too. and yet so like the gos
pel truth, that you bet I felt re
lieved and glad for her sake. She
drew back and caught the lawyer’s
arm, saying:
“ ‘lt has been so long ?:go. lam
very feeble and don’t see well. The
voice seems like, yet unlike. I
must be mistaken. Poor fellow, I
am indeed sorry for you and will
pray for you.’
“Even at this the feller never
turned a hair. Then we all turned
and went out, leaving him and his
guards just as they were before.
“It was all a lie. It was his
mother. He begged, as I never
heard a human beg, forme and the
deputies not to tell: to save his
mother from such a truth and her
heart from breaking. We never
told her nor nobody else. She’s
dead herself now, so its different.
“Gentlemen, that was acting.
Think of a man pulling himself
together, meeting her so sudden
: and then fooling his own mother
without any preparing or nothin’.
That feliow’s nerve was iron, I tell
you. There must have been some
sort of a good streak in him, any
how. He died plumb game, too.
I was a heap shakier at the hang
ing than he was. I hated to du it,
but I had to.”
Indigestion is often taken for
consumption. The word consump
tion means wasting away, and dy
speptics often waste away as badly
as consumptives.
The reason people waste away is
because either they don’t get
enough to eat, or they don’t digest
what they do eat.
If the latter is your trouble, take
Shaker Digestive Cordial. This
will help you to digest your food
and stop your loss of flesh.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is made
from herbs, barks and the juices
of fruit, by the well-known Shakers
a Mount Lebanon. It possesses
great tonic and digestive powers.
Shaker Digestive Cordial lias
cured many supposed consumptives
■ (who were really dyspeptics), by
] simply he'ping their stomachs to
digest their food, thus giving them
nourishment and new strength.

Tribute of Respect.
Resolutions passed by the M. E.
Church, South, Lyerly Sunday school.
The following tribute to the Chris
tian character and worth of the late
R. S. Conley was adopted by the Ly
erly Sunday school, M. E. church.
R. S. Conley was born in Walker
county Ga.. on May 7th, 1834. Pro
fessed re! gio i and joined the M. E.
church so: 11, was married to Mrs.
Laura Hood March 13, 1881 and died
at Lyerly, Jan. 13th, 1896.
The brief dates above given record
the principal events connected with
the history of an intelligent, upright,
Christian gentleman and faithful mem
ber of this Sabbath school. It is prop
er and right that we stop in the race
of life, long enough this Sabbath morn
ing to pay a tribute to the character of
Bro. Conley, to drop a tear on his
new made grave and to tender our
sympathy to his bereaved family.
Therefore be it,
Resolved, That in this new inroad
upon our ranks this Sunday school rec
ognizes that death has remove;! from
of oil': uidst fcffihi'u!. and
cient members. He held all that he
was in sacred trust and in his life ha*
TO
consecrated it all upon the altar in
scribed by the Divine sufferer with the
words, “Thy will be done.”
Resolved, That we rejoice that this
Sunday school had upon its roll the
name of R. S. Conley and as members
of the same, we can bear testimony
that he was good and strong; brave
and gentle, loyal to his family, his
church, his friends and his God.
Resolved, That this sudden dispen
sation, these notes of warning which
are so often falling upon our ears ad
monish us to pause and reflect upon
the shortness and uncertainty of hu
man life, and to remember what shad
ows we are and what shadows we pur
sue.
Resolved, That there are those who
feel this affliction more than we. We
can commend to the guardian care of
an all wise Father the widow and or
phan little ones of the household.
Gladly would we wipe away all tears
from their eyes, but nothing said by
human tongue can lift the burden
which the death of such a devoted hus
band and tender father rests upon the
home circle.

Catarrh Cannot be Cured
with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as
they cannot reach the seat of the
disease. Catarrh is a blood or
constitutional disease and in order
to cere it you must take internal
remedies. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, and acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack
medicine. It was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in this
country for years and is a regular
prescription. It is composed of
the best tonics known, combined
with the best blood purifiers, act
ing directly on the mucous sur
faces. The perfect combination
of the two ingredients is what pro
duces such wonderful results in
curing Catarrh. Send for testi
monials free.
