Judge Orders Vote Recount In Hillsborough Cancelled; Establish Legality Of Pro- ceedings In Three Fourths Of Precincts In- volved In Case (By Associated Press) TAMPA, Oct. 5.—Con- gressman Drane’s vote-re- counting proceedings in Hilisborough county ended suddenly in circuit court to- day when Judge Robles can- celled his original order for a récount in eight precincts. Although the original order of ® writ of mandamus directing a recount was confirmed Saturday by the supreme court, Judge Robles today held that the supreme court’s opinion yesterday had established the legality of the count in six precinets of the eight, and that it was useless to recount those pre- cinets. } ATTORNEY LORD REGISTERS KICK ‘SON ROAMING COWS CLAIMS PLANT LIFE IN YARD! | OF HOME RUINED; eyes "KILL DEFENDANTS NOW UNDER TRIAL COUNSEL TELLS COURT OF!

After a session last night the} own council voted to cease func- joning as a municipality at once because there was no money for carrying on. The council ordered the town hall locked up and street lights turned out. All salaries except that of police chief were discontinued. A man will be paid $1.00 per day to run the water plant. The town hall will be open on Satur- days for routine business. 52 Years Devoted to the Best Interests of Key West PRICE FIVE CENTS New York-Concern Low Bidder On Nine Million Dollar Flood Control Project For Florida Bid Submitted For Con- struction. Of Eighteen Mile Levee Slightly Un- der $600,000 (ity Associated Presx) JACKSONVILLE, Oct. 5. —The Spadaro Contracting Corporation and the Colon Company, of New York, with ie figure slightly under $600,- 000, was low bidder for the construction of the 18 and a half miles of levee and flood- way channel in connection with the $9,000,000 flood When Drane’s attorneys Ye-; Warren referred to a letter dat- fused to amend their petition for @ recount in all eight precincts, Judge Robles quashed the entire recount writ. This action followed several hours of argument. W. H. Jack- son, attorney for Peterson, said the evidence and complaint re- garding six precincts shows the only irregularity existing was that of the counting of several ballots marked with the cross on the left of the candidate’s name instead of on the right, and that the supreme court opinion held that ballots should be counted whether marked on right or left. Drane’s attorney argued Judge » Robles’, writ) had been upheld by. the supreme court and that the! ‘writ now becomes one of the supreme court, and Judge Robles is unable to quash it. BEING DISTURBED BY QUEER NOISES FRIGHTFUL SOUNDS HEARD BY RESIDENTS IN VICINITY OF ARNOLD DWELLING OUT ON UNITED STREET Residents in the vicinity of the A. W. Arnold residence on United Street are having their slumbers disturbed and their waking mo- ments at night terrorized by the weird and terrible sounds made, many people are declaring, by al ghost (7). For the past four nights the eerie noises and creepy sounds made by this alleged visitor from the ether have kept timid folks quaking with fear and trembling in terror, To lay the ghost, or capture the haunt, or spirit, or the sentient being that is, of course, responsible for these nightly disturbance, Al- berto Camero, traffic officer, hid himself in the shrubbery at the Arnold home last night.
