HOPES THAT SCANLAN WILL YET BE WINNER IrrcRitlnrltlr * In tlio UitllntR Vllildi May lln by the. Content lloiinl < Jlvo Him Cnttfto to Think lie iioctPil : < - The third session of the contest court hold yesterday resulted in a rather Intctcstlng way , Scanlan making quite a decided gain. The First precinct of the Sixth ward was up for consideration , find the reater part of the day was s.pent . m looking over the ballots. At the close the vote was found to bo lili for Scanlan and 104 for Huron. The vote as given by the Hoard of Supervisors was Scanlan , ITI , Hazcn , 109 , so thatllarcn loses live and Hcaulan gains two , thus mak ing a relative loss of seven for Hiizen. The question of the validity of the three ballots cast In the First precinct of the Third ward and whoso marks old not conmly with the provisions of the law , was fully argued and submitted. The court held that all three votes were bad and'throw them out bodily. Hy this Scanlan loses two and Hazcn onu , so that so far Scanhtn has n uct gain of six votes. i\pcct : Scnnlun to Ouln StcntlUy. The prophecy is made , and with much show of reason , that Scanlan will go right on making corresponding pains In every pre cinct in which the ballots are recounted. In each precinct there were two democratic Judges and ono republican. Thin gnvo the democrats the upper hand. Consequently , in every case \\hcro there was a doubt , Huron was given the bone lit of the doubt , while Scanlan's votes were thrown out wherever there was a chance of doing so. Many of these rulings arc now overruled by the three judges of contest , so that Scan- lan's chances for getting in finally are con stantly Improving. Practically the only question now to be de- cldod Is whether these votes will all bo al lowed to go iu evidence. Huron's attorneys are relilng mainly upon their ability to prove uy legal decisions that the returns which were not fully signed nio not returns at all , and that consequently the ballots are no more than as much waste paper. They also claim that the ballots wcro kept in so loose a manner in the ofllco of the county au ditor as to allow ample opportunity for anyone ono who wished to tamper with them. These questions will not bo decided until the defendant comes on with his testimony. WIl.l. GO TO KLOORA. Bojs Wlio Stole I'runcs anil Storied About It Are Sent 1T1 > . The story told by William and f-.ewis Huff man , the two boys who were arrested for stealing prunes Friday afternoon , was ex ploded m police court yesterday morning , when the father of the pair told his story of the hois' actions. They claimed their father and step-mother had driven them away from homo and forced thorn to seoi : shelter from the cold in the parental wood shed. Jbey described in their small boy fashion the pangs of hunger that had as sailed their internal anatomy and had lint them on to the thcfi of a peck of prunes , a part of which they had put where they thought they would do the most good. Huffman , sr. , told the Judge that it was nil bosh. The two youngsters , although the older was only 11 years of ago , had become utterly unmanageable. Ills wife , their mother , died about live years ace , and ho married a second time. A stepmother's affection had not proved sufficient to keep them in the straight and narrow path , and they bad stolen , lied , stayed out nights , and committed a great many other offenses against the code of Juvenile morals. Ho hid llnally sent them both away to live vith an uncle , but the uncle , too , seemed not to have been a success as a spanker nnd sent them homo after a short but expensive experience. Ho asked that they bo sent to the reform school. Judge Smith heard the father's story and aslced the boys a number of questions. In answering which they retracted some of the statements first made. The Judge directed that they both be taken to Kldora. The mother of Wayne Williams , the 10- year-old boy who was arrested along with them , charged with the same offense , thought she could manage her boy if given another chance to try , and although the boy was thought of seriously as a proper candi date for Iho state reformatory it was de cided that the chance should bo given. The boy was sent homo with her , accompanied by a series of lectures from the various oftl- ccis in charge. To Ho Continued.

In the district , court was tried yesterday the case of Fred Nusbaum against H. W. Beebe , and Nusbaum is now nursing $100 worth of prief instead of an equal amount of cash. Ho formerly acted as clerk for Beebe , who kept a combination saloon and restau rant. When they finally dissolved partner- shin Nusbaum had still corainc to him about $100 in unpaid wages , and ho commenced suit in a justice court , securing a judgment. Boebe took an appeal to tbo higher court , and yesterday the evidence was heard by Judge Smith aim u jury. After the story of both parties had boon related the Judge decided to take the case away from the Jury , instructing the latter to bring in a verdict for Beebe. There was no doubt about Beobo owing Nusbaum the amount he claimed , but the salary was for services rendered in a business forbidden by law. Nusbaum claimed the wapcs were due him for clerking in the restaurant , oven though the liquor business was contrary to law. The court hold , however , that there was no .way of dividing the legal business from the illegal. Grand I.nnip Sale.
