jrounty but twoMieanl from at noon to
la. the two districts being Precinct
No 6 in the city and the Warren pre
f inci in the county, the bond election
, for the city and county building
showed the measure lost by a major
ity of 412 votes in city and couiu
At noon the returns on the count v
'Jail bonds stood with a combined ma
jority against the measure of
votes.
The total vote cast in the city and
county with the two districts yet to
be reported, was 1676. th largest
combined vole on any question This
was the total vote on the city and i

At noon the vote stood as follows!
on both questions:

Illegal Acts Committed.
Although the returns show the Joint
! building lost by a big majority, there ,
is considerable talk of the county voreJ
I being thrown out entirely and a new I
election called on the ground that
I there were irregularities in some of
the precincts on the part of election j
ofllcials. It is claimed by somo that
a number of election Judges In the
county districts were guilty of Influ
' encing voters, it being alleged that
in some cases the attempts were open I
ly made
The election has caused consider
able discussion on the part of all citi
zens, especially in the city. Some of I
I the county -voters, howeer, wore ju'tj
as anxious to iiave the bonds all go
through in the best interest of the
city and county.
In commenting on the election litis
morning. John Wheeler, a Judge Ol
election at Slateo ille, stated he was j
convinced that many of the farmers)
had a wrong conception of the bond
issue and would have voted in the al
flrmative had they been better in I
formed on the subject
Judge A W. Agee said this morning , ,
th;it, aside from any question of Ir
regularities in the election, it would
probabl be wise to re-submit tlie'i
