tho soldier loafing there though
he wa in citizans clothing. He
went on to the stock yards after
talking to tho above persons.
Lator it was reported up town
that this man was seen nt the
depot so Byron Vaughn and G.I

as ho had already been arrested.

Frank Crawford Killed.
On Thursday Mrs. E. J. Craw-
ford received the following and
telegram from Denver Colo.
"Your son Frank wa3 killed at
Cheyenne Wyo. yesterday."
No other information wns receiv-
ed so his brother Grovor left on
the first train for Cheyenne.
On Monday a telegram was
received from Grover at Chey-
enne which read "I will bury
Frank here today at 2 o'clock."
No other word has been receiv
ed up To this time so the cause
of his death is not known yet.
Frank nnd his brothor James
left here about tho first of July
and went to work with n'thresh-
ing outfit nt Okeene. Okln.
Later letters were received from
James nt Flagstaff Ariz. and
the last ono from him there stat
ed that he would leave for Den
vcr Colo.
Nothing has been heard from
James since nnd he does not
know of Frank's cNath. Noth
ing was heard from Frank after
he Kjft Okepuo nnd it was not
known here that he was in Wy
oming until the telegram came
Thusday.
This makes the third death by
killing to near relatives of Mrs.
Crawford her' father husband
and son Frank. Her husband
was accidentally shot by her son
James. She has had to bear
more affliction than is due one
person.
Another Starling Count.
In the recount of the ballots in
the court clerk contest in Brown
No. 1. at Sterling Simpson gain-
ed 12 votes and Compton lost 27
votes making a shift of 30
v.otes.
Simpson made some othei
gains in the county and if thr
Zclla township box be counted
ho will have" a majority of 27
votes but if Zlla.is thrown put
Compton will have a majority of
8 votes.
In till probability the Zella box
will bo counted in this contest.
In the county clerk contest
Judge Tnlbert threw out the Zel-
la box on the ground that it was
not certified to by the Zjllaolec.
tion board before the action was
started.
Tho Zi)lla returns wore certi-
fied to hofore tho acMon in the
court olerk case was started so
that cannot be grounds for
throwing out that box in this
content. And other evidence in
Simpson's favor that will be
brought out ii the placo where
the Z'lla box wjvj stoied when
the ballots were stolen.
On Tuesdny the county elec-
tion board issued a certificate of
nomination to Compton nnd it
will now be fought out in the
higher courts.
