The full Board of Supervisors
assembled on Monday last to can
vass the returns. As was expected
a protest was entered agai nst count
ing the returns from the Solomon
ville precinct on the most flimsy
grounds imaginable. This pre
cinct was selected, I suppose, be
cause it was the oiily one which,
if thrown out, would effect the re
sult, asd that only so far as the
office of Probate Judge was con
cerned. Judge Hyatt tiled the pro
test, and in the argument wbich
followed was ably represented by
A. M. Patterson. District Attor
ney Bolan advised the Board as to
their duties which he said were
ministerial and not judicial and
the Board after twenty-four hours
consideration by a vote of two to
one concluded to follow the Dis
trict Attorney's advice. So Solo
inonville precinct was counted and
the whole of the democratic ticket
declared elected. Thui end the
first chapter. It is possible, but
sot probable from all I can learn
at this writing, that the courts may
have to decide as to whether the
irregularities, which Mr. Hyatt in
his protest alleges to have been
committed, even if true, would jus
tify the rejection of the whole pre
cinct as was claimed in his artru
ment before the Board.
Mr. E. D. Tuttle was awarded
the contract to convey the lunatic
Porras to the Stockton insane asy
lum at a cost to the county of
$198, a very reasonable sum con
sidering the amount of trouble and
expense involved. He took his de
parture with his charge yesterday.
Mr. Tuttle will take advantage of
this trip to visit his family who
now reside near Sacramento.
Mr. J. E. Garrett, our worthy
school teacher, was compelled to
visit Tucson Monday to secure the
service of a dentist having been so
severely afflicted with neuralgia of
the jaw for some days as to inca
pacitate him from work.
Dame Rumor has it that a mar
riage will take place here about
the first proximo, a well-known
Cliftonite, at present residing here,
and a young lady of the valley be
ing the contracting parties. It is
expected to he a grand affair and
I trust we will will not be disap
pointed. Full particulars will be
eent you.
Mr. M. 'E. Cunningham is in
town from his ranch on the Bom
ta. We are under the impression
here that M. K is becoming tired
of bachelor life and is on the look
out for an eligible partner. I may
be prejudiced in his favor, as he is
a friend of mine, but I would con
sider the lady extremely fornnate
would secure him for a husband
and trust the day is not far distant
when some one will catch on.
On Thursday night a dance was
given at the Gila hotel by the
friends of Miss Frankie Burdick
in honor of her departure. It was
well attended and proved a very
enjoyable affair. Miss Burdick
left for Clifton Friday morning.
Treenrer elect Pomnroy and
