Less than one-half of the 2.S07 vot
eis registeied participated in the
primal ies, only about 850 Repub
lican votes being cast and about 300

The indications are that Fulton

piovlng a great surprise to even his
friends here, The only way to ac
count for Cake's large vote is that
the supporters of Statement No. 1
supported Cake.
Geo. Mk Brown ran far ahead of
W. W. Cardwell for district, attor
ney. He wfjl have a majority of
about 25Q in this county and
as he. carried Douglas county by over
400, he will(be an easy victor.

Victims' Funerals.
f ,
A new sensation. in the Grills-Roby
tragedy was Intimated today when
Mrs. Wm. Wade, a sister of Grills,
announced that the family would In
sist upon a mofe thorough Investiga
tion of the affair which cost two
lives. Mrs. Wado said' that they had
a number of, reasons to believe that
others were Implicated in the tragedy
or at least could tell more about it,
"John and Ora left' our house not
more th'an fifteon minutes prior to
the tragedy and both were In excel
lent spirits," said Mrs. Wade today.
"Ora kissed mother and went out
the door joking. John had been
angry earlier In the oyenlng because
he thought that Ora was paying too
uiucu uuenuon 10 two otner young
men at the skating rink but they had
made up completely and were as
happy as could be."
, "Ora wore a diamond ring and a
plain handling when she lett home
Wednesday night. Neither of tho
rings have been seen since.
Father is. Coining.
"I had a wire 'that our father,
John Grills, is sick at Salem or he
would be heie for the funeral to
morrow. However, he wired that
he would come as soon as possible
and would insist upon, a more com
plete Investigation of tho affair, be
ing willing to spend all of the money
necessary to ascertain beyond " a
doubt whether U was muider or sui
cide or if others, were (implicated In
It, The letter John left Is the only
real evidence of murder and suicide
but there Is a possibility that this
may be explained."
Dr. E. Mlngus, cbunty coroner,
said that he did not believe that
otheis could have been implicated
in it but that he would be willing to
aid in any further Investigation that
was feasible.

o'clock Sunday afternoon. There

Absent Minded Brooklyn Ma
riner Constructs Craft in
House; Can't Get it Out.
BROOKLYN, April 18. City Is
land Is the most Important centre of
the boat building Industry In the
BronXi Just now conversation In old
salt and bar corner circles revolves
lound tho question how Billy Graham
will get his new boat out of the house
where he built It.
Billy has long cherished an ambi
tion to build for himself a naphtha
launch that shall beat anything yet
turned out' of City Island. But he
had no place In which to build It. '
Charles Riley, who keeps the Clam
and' Lobster, where seafaring men
strike anchor of an evening to take a
glass of grog, told him he could
build iln a room upstairs,
Bill laid down his keel. After a
month's work he had nearly finished
the framS work of a boat, tvyenty-five
feet long with a six-foot beam.
Bill had begun to promise the girls
rides on the Sound when 'Mrs- Ophelia
Vail, who owns. the Clam and Lobster
came down to visit the property She
was taken upstairs to the improvised
shipyard. - v , .
"It looks as if it would be a very
nice boat," she said, 'but you pan't
leave it here,"
"No, ma'am! thank you kindly,"
said Bill. "We shan't leave it here
no longer when it's finished."
'Wejl, how are you going to get
It ou,t?"
Bill scratched bis head.
"Suffering Moses, ma'am," said he,
"I never thought o' that."
He poked his head helplessly out of
the three-foot Window at the end pf
the loft. "We can't ge,t lier through
the wjojler, land she won't slide down
the stairs." Then an Idea struck him
and he smiled. "I've got it; we'll cut
a bit o' the wall and slip her into the
yard."
"Oh, no, you won't," said Mrs.
Vail, "I'm ndt going to have my
property pulled down to get your
boat out of Iti" '
Subsequently and consequently an
application has been -made- to Justice
Gprham by Mrs. Vail, asking . that
Charles Riley and William Graham
b'e enjoined arid restrained frdm con
tinuing or nllowing the continuance
of tho construction of a boat In the
premises, etc
That Is why Bill has taken to wall
propping In the evenings now.
"Gol durn that boat of mine!1' be
says.' ''I can't finish her and I can't
stop her, I can't get her out and I
can't leave her in. Stubborner than
any jackass. D'you know what I'll
call her? Woman."
