Citizens in road district 52, often
spoken of aa Happy Hollow, are up In
arms against the manager of the re
call directed against County Judge
Beatie and County Commissioner
Blair, and many who have signed the
recall petitions have aBked that their
names be removed. This action was
taken after Judge Beatie made a tour
through the district and delivered an j
address. In which ho explained the
work of the county court, aud gave
reasons for the Increase In taxation.
Among those wlio formerly signed
the petition, and who now declare
that at that time facts were misrepre
sented to them, are Charles Rabstock,
Lewia Becker, Frank Krause, George
Brookman, Otto Brookman, josepn
Rushford and H. W. Kanne. These
men have asked the circulator of pe
titions to remove their name, ana
others who have made the same re
quest have been refused.
It Is said that a number of these
citizens will unite, and seek court ac
tion forcing the removal of their
names from the petitions, as mere
are many throughout the county who
are reported to feel the same way
about it. It la possible that a wnois-
salu cancellation of names on the po
tion may follow after they have been
filed with the county clerk. The pe

be filed on Wednesday of thi week.

The meeting was not entirely har-
oonious. . Ed Olds presided as cnair
man, and seemed impressed wun me
necessity of being unduly dignified.
At other time he forgot this, as once
when he rose to make a suggestion
to the delegates, and ended hia re
marka by saying: "There, . I've said
something and now George C. can't
say that I haven't said anything." It
is presumed that this was an allusion
to some remarks once made by Geo.
C. Brownell.
When candidates for county judge
were being discussed considerable ri
valry between different sections of
the county appeared. Many of the
delegates stated that if one man or
another were nominated resident of
other parts of the county would not
vote for him. Thi. brough Btlll other
of the delegates to their feet with ora
torical outburst, in ravor 01 every
body supporting the nominee, regard
less of community favortea. After
the ticket had been established, unair-
man Olds made a strong piea ior
loyalty to the nominees, declaring
that thera was a bard fight ahead,
and saying that the chances of the
recall must not be jeopardizes
through personal rivalry.
It was at this juncture that one of
the peculiar things of the meeting oc
curred. Chairman Olds left his place
and whispered to W. H. Hagemann
that "strangers" were within the con- ,
vention. TheBe "strangers." apparf.
ently, were Justice Sievers. B. N.
Hicks, Edwin R. Brown and a report
er from The Enterprise. Mr. Hage
mann favored the interloper with a ,
black look, and then slipped quhstlr .
over to J. W, Smith for a whUpereilV

lo revoke his motion, saying . that
there were other matters to which he
thought attention should be given.
Chairman Olds looked at Hagemann,
and Hagemaun sullenly withdrew hi
motion. The nervous delegate men
moved that tha ticket be named tne
"Independent ticket." While this mo
tion was being put to a vote, the word
of the adjournment was passed
around to the delegate who thought-
there were other things to be ocne.
In the course of the passing 01 me
word the motion hardly carried.
It was then reconsidered, and am
ended, and upon it being moved that
the ticket be dubbed "Citizens inde
pendent," the motion carrieu, a..u
the recall movement had an official
name. The motion to adjourn was .
then put before the meeting again.
Delegate looked around at' the
"strangers" and wanted to know how
long It would be necessary to adjourn.
The chairman looked at the stranger
and figured that it would be about 20
minutes. The convention therefor ad
journed. Immediately thereafter the
"strangera" departed and then the
convention reassembled, and seleeted
It financial and executive-toramjt-tees.
M. J. Brown acted as secretary
of the convention, and later courte
ously gave out for publication Kie
ticket and names of committeemen.
