DEPUTY SHERIFF GRACE DEAD
Expired Evidently Short Time Before
Being Called for Breakfaat.
A. J. Grace, deputy sheriff at Avoc and
a leading candidite for the repub lean
nomination for sheriff at the recent pri
mary election and before the republican
county convention to be held next Satur
day, was found dead In hia bed at the
county Jail In Avoca shortly before g
O'clock yesterday morning. His death Is
attributed to heart disease, a trouble with
which he waa known' to have been afflicted
for soma time.
Mr. Grace, who waa unmarried and about
47 yeara of age, resided at the Avoca
county Jail with his aged mother, who dis
covered the dead body of her son when she
went to call him to breakfast. The body
waa atill warm and Dr. A. O. Spauldlng,
who was summoned, gave It aa his opinion
that death, which he pronounced due to
heart failure, had taken place not more
than half an hour before.
Although apparently In his normal health
Mr. Grace had been much fatigued on re
tiring Tuesday night. Ha had a hard drive
Tuesday, going to Oakland to arrest
Charles Abeldt, who Is under a charge ot
malicious threats to extort money and who
had been surrendered by his bondsmen.
The trip waa a trying one and In convers
ing .with frlenda later In the evening Mr.
Grace complained ot being greatly fatigued.
He la aald to have been worrying over the
political situation and this, coupled with
the strenuous campaign he waged before
the primary. I believed to have brought on
an attack ot hia old trouble.
Mr. Grace waa born in Dixon, Scott
county, Iowa, and came to Pottawattamie
county with his parents In 1S0O. He leaves
besides hia mother, three brothera and
two sisters, John Grace, Anita, Ia.; I. H.
Grace, Tllden, Neb.; F. G. Grace, Sheri
dan, Wyo.; Mrs. J. A. Carlisle, Tlldon,
Neb., and Mrs. C. R. Talbet, living in this
state. He waa a member of the Odd Fel
lowa, Maaonlo and Modern Woodmen
lodges.
The funeral will be held Friday after
noon at Avoca and will be under the
auspices ot the Masonic and Odd Fellows
lodges.
Deputy Sheriff Groneweg went to Avoca
yesterday noon to take charge of tha jail
until arrangements can be made to fill
the poattton. Sheriff Canning ia at present
In Chicago, attending the republican con
vention, and no appointment of a depufy
at Avoca can be made until his return.
The district court bailiff at Avoca will, It
la expected,- be placed In charge of the
jail until the return of Sheriff Canning,
or such time as a successor Is appointed
to Mr. Grace.
Although a contest waa looked for, It
was generally expected that Mr. Grace
would be nominated by the republican con
vention next Saturday In justice to the
east end of the county, which Is without
candidate on the party ticket. At the
primary Mr. Grace received 1,100 votes,
moat of them being outside of the city of
Council '. Bluffs, and he was regarded as
the candidate of the east end . of the
county., Deputy Sheriff W. A. Groneweg
of this city received 866 votes, his strength
being principally in the city, although he
was given a flattering vote In several of
the country precincts. Friends of Mr.
Groneweg contend that he Is the logical
candidate for the nomination, especially in
view of the fact that for eight years he
has been chief deputy in the sheriff's of
fice. I'pholstertng.

DES MOINES. June l$.-(Bpeclal.) Re
turns from seven counties are not In the
hands ot the executive council for the offi

several of these seem likely not to reach
the council till there are compllcatlone.
Teaterday It wae thought the council had
all the returna but those from Polk and
Dallas counties, but there haa been a re
count ordered of seven precincts In Story
county, which holds back that county.
Guthrie, Keokuk and Dallas counties all
sent their returns In on the wrong blanks
and these had to be sent back, and It will
be a day or two before they can be put on
the right blanke and returned. The county
auditor of Osceola county clalma that he
haa sent hia In the mail, but they had not
reached the eecretary of state when the
office closed tonight.
The complications that will arise are that
