At the timo Collior was ar- rested about a week ago there was inteuse feeling against him 1n the neighborhood in which he lived and talk of lynching was freely indulged in on acount of the shameful way in which he had abused his wife.

There was consequeatly no love lost between them, and when they met in front of the hotel yes: terday there was trouble. Bierworth, according 1o the statement of eye wituesses, was the aggressor, trying to strike Collier with a loaded cane. Collier went at him and in & few moments had the best of him.

I'he attorneys for Hazen had made th red mvestigation into the statements made by their opponents last Monday and filed their answer embodying their claims. Iu it were contained tne allegations that the ballots of Wright and Knox townships had been counted correctly; that two votes had been thrown out in Hazel Dell which should have been counted for Hazen: two in Crescent and two in Valley were also thrown out two in Center were counted for Scanlan which should have becn for Ha mistakes had been made in vallots in Waveland and Mind: which Seaulan_eained and two in the Intter. “The first witness put upon the stand was County Auditor Matthews. who was called unon 1o teil how secuvely the ballot boxes, poll books aud other apparatus conuected with the last clection had been kept since | they were turned over to him. He was also called upon to identify the poll books of the Pirst precinet of the Thivd ward and the Iirst of the Sixth, waich had been sealed up by him -after the Board of Supervisors cided to throw them out on account of the failure of the judges and clerks to certify them properly In the a n, und that nting the 1 townships e in the former ruoon W.

Ho tried to «lo so, but his attempts were rendercd uscicss by the storm. or rather steady drizzle, uf objections of the attorneys on the ovposite side. These attorneys have adopted dilatory tactics, it seems, and their one umbition is to delay matters us much possible. At the present rate of progress the contest 1s likely to be completed about the time the present term of office expires. Some people who don’t know very much about politics supposed thatall that was nec- essary was that the boxes should be opencd and “the ballots counted. It was not until aftor the first few guns had been fired that they found out ' just how wuch wrangling and jawiug and objecting und haivsplitting and other thines incident to the legal profession had to be gone through with before the boxes could be opened and the judges be allowed to ascer- tain by & recount’just who had been elected The question which will have to be de- cided firstof all is whether or not the ballots can e brought i in those precinets where the judges forgot to make the proper certifi cates. As allof these precincts happen to nlan a majority Hazen's attorneys At a return is no return at all unless properly certified to. Consequently there was in effect no election in those pre- cincts and the voters might as well havi staved at home. In the precinets that were thrown out by the Board of Supervisors there are euough votes to throw the scale one way or the other. und_so here 1s wher the real fight comes, after all. The ouly thing the public is to'do is to hope that the attorneys will kindly allow the judges to make the agouy as short us possible. Sugar Corn! suzar Cornt Try the Council Bluffs sugar corn.
