. Alleging that Frank E. Meyer, who
was declared elected to the office of
county assessor at the recent election,
by the county canvassing board, by a
majority of three votes, was not legal
ly elected to the office, and that sev
eral irregularities exist in the returns
as certified by the different election
boards which, when legally counted,
will show that he has been elected,
Arthur R. Allen, of Rickreall, Repub
lican candidate for assessor at the
election held on November 5, has be
gun contest proceedings against Meyer,
according to papers filed in depart
ment No. 2 of the Polk county circuit
court on Monday. The contest is set
for hearing on Friday, December 6,
at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, before
Judge Percy Kelley.
Six Precincts Specified.
While the contest, which will be
simply a recount, will embrace every
precinct in the county on the vote for
assessor, the complaint especially des
ignates six precincts in which alleged
errors exist in the counting, by rea
son of the illegal elimination of votes
cast in said precincts and further be
cause members of the election boards,
wearied by their long vigil in count
ing, fell asleep and that Judges acted
in the double capacity of judges .and
clerks. Upon those alleged irregulari
ties the grounds for the proposed re
count are based.
Three Ballots Tlirown Out.
The complaint alleges that in Salt
Lake precinct three or more ballots
were rejected and not counted for the
office of assessor, or for any other
office for the reason that the voters
cast their ballot for president rather
than the electors for president."
In South Dallas precinct it is alleg
ed that "one of the clerks became too
ill to continue his work, and that, on
account thereof, one of the Judges
took the clerk's place, performing the
double office of judge and clerk, which
condition was calculated to occasion
error."
Entire Itonrrt Asleep.
In Eola precinct, where the heaviest
vote in any one precinct in the county
was cast, "your contestant is advised
and believes, and in consequence
thereof alleges, that the clerks and
judges gave way to sleep on account
of exhaustion from unreasonable
hours of attention to work, and in
consequence error was made in the
count, and that one of the Judges, in
spected and counted the votes.
"That in a number of precincts your
contestant is informed and believes,
and therefore alleges, that errors were
made in tabulating the votes cast in
said precincts for the office of as
sessor.
One or More Thrown Out.
"That in North and South Mon
mouth precincts one or more ballots
were thrown out and not counted for
any county officer for the reason that
the voter erroneously cast his ballot
for president rather than the presi
dential electors.
"That in South Independence pre
cinct one ballet was not considered,
though legally cast, for the reason that
the judges held that the voter was not
qualified on account of not having re
sided long enough in the precinct
when, as a matter of undisputed fact,
the voter had resided In said precinct
for more than two weeks and was of
lawful age.
"That defendant did not receive a
plurality of the legal votes cast at said
election but, on the contrary, plaintiff
did receive a plurality of said votes,
and was duly and legally fleeted and
is entitled to the office of assessor for
said county and state."
Wants Judgment of Onirt.
"Wherefore plaintiff prays Judg
ment of the court declaring plaintiff
elected to the office of county assessor,
and that the clerk shall Issue a certifl-
acte to said plaintiff which shall be
exclusive evidence of plaintiff's right
to hold the said office, and for his
costs and disbursements of the con
test." C I McNary, of Salem, appears as
counsel for Mr. Allen in the proceed
ings. Method of Proceduse.
Inasmuch as the contest only con
templates a recount of the vote on as
sessor, and no claim of fraud Is set up,
in the event that the rase is held legal
by the court, and the various motions
liable to be advanced by counsel for
Meyer, shall have been disponed of fa

BODY OF GERMAN DISCOVERED
IN RIVER ON POLK SIDE.
Marlon County Ollicial Takes Charge
of Remains; Theory of Suicide Is
Advanced.
SALEM, Nov, 26. About 1 o'clock
yesterday afternoon a body later iden
titled as that of Daniel Widmer, was
found floating in the river, near the
wiest end of the steel bridge. A. E.
Clark, a stockman of Lents, made the
discovery and communicated with the
watchman on the bridge, who in turn
advised the police.
Coroner Clough and Chief of Police
Hamilton arrived on the scene In a
short time and securing a boat, towed
the corpse to land, and later had it
brought to the morgue, where the re
mains were viewed by a number of
persons. Fred Goldsmith, proprietor
of the German bakery, identified them
as those of Daniel Widmer. A slight
scalp wound was probably received in
falling.
Widmr Is said to have been in this
city but a few weeks, most of which
time he has been out of work. Re
cently he secured a position at the
Clover Leaf dairy, which is just over
the bridge in Polk county. It is sup
posed that he was on the way to work
at that place when he took a notion to
jump off the bridge. No motive is
known for the deed.
The body is being held pending ad
vice from relatives in Harrisburg who
have been notified. Widmer was about
40 years old and had been In this
country but a year, coming to Iowa
from Germany, of which countf y he
was a native.
Coroner R. L. Chapman, of Polk
county, to whom the case belonged,
owing to its having been found on the
west bank of the Willamette river,
was called up by the Marion county
official, but before the former could
give directions as to the disposal of the
body communication over the long
distance phone was Interrupted and
was again taken up. Contrary to re
ports published In the Salem papers,
the Polk county official did not "give
permission" for the Marion coroner to
take charge of the remains.

Prospect of Paving Iiidm e Oimn-
ell to Build Crosswalks of f
Wood.
' The building of wooden cross-
walks on Main streeet at the In-
tersection of Mill, the first of
V which was put In Monday, has
given rise to speculation as to the
reason therefor, especially In face
of the ordinance which calls for
ye concrete crossings only, in the
business section. Inquiry has
elicited the information that the
wooden walks were built because
of a belief among the members
of the city council that it Is only
a question of a few months until
hard surface pavement will be
put down on the business streets
and the council did not believe in
putting the city to the expense of
concrete crosswalks which would
have to be torn up in a few
months.
"The intimation that paving is
even being considered by the
council, and that that considoTa-'
tion is strong enough to Induce
it to build temporary wooden
walks, will be accepted with a
ray of hope by the enterprising
and progressive citizens of Dal-
las," said a prominent citizen
this afternoon.

Dallas High School basket ball
team defeated the Capital Business
college five at Salem on Thursday
night, in a one-sided contest, 65 to 14.
The Dallas club clearly outclassed the
Salemites, although the latter was
composed of full grown men, Willie the
DuIIhs five were only high school lads,
Hut they gave a good account of
themselves and could have made the
score much larger on their side, had
they so desired. A special train wSis
run over the Salem, Falls City &
Western, and about 60 young people
took advantage of the opportunity to
see the home team In action.
Manager B. A. Teats, of the team,
has the following to say of the game:
Preliminary Was Slow.
"The preliminary warm-ups didn't
tell much, and the Dallas crowd was a
little uneasy at first, for theirs was a
team of boys, pitted against a team of
full-grown men. The game wasn't
long In doubt, for within one-half
minute of play, Helstand, Dallas' cen
ter, had landed one basket, quickly
following . it with another. From
then on It was only a question of
what the socre would be. In rapid
succession Boydston and Woods, for
wards, and Helstand, scored basket
after basket, until the whistle of the
first half told a score of S3 to 5.
"In the second half the Dallas team
slowed up, and in the middle of the
half changed Boydston and Wilson for
Gooch and Campbell, the latter Intro
ducing himself with a neat field bas
ket. Every man on the team threw
baskets but Wilson and Gooch until
Dallas had 65 and C. B. C. 14.
Dallas Has Fine Team.
"Dallas has a High School team to
be proud of and deserves bette;- pat
ronage than it received last whiter.
If you like a one sided score where
the boys get a chance to use their
team work come to their games tblh
winter. If you like a game that Is
close, whire you can see each man
play for every point he gets, they will
furnish you that kind of a gam '. We
have the champion High School team
this year. Boydston and Wood are
50 per cent stronger than last yetir.
Hit stand went up against "Pebo" nil
Inst winter while Matheny an 1 Wil
son keep their men covered all the
time. Those who didn't take time to
come last year come this year and
you'll come to the second game."

according to a complaint filed by her
attorneys Oscar Hayter and H. H.

were married in Portland on January
24, 1911 and lived together until Au
gust 1, 1911 when the plaintiff left
defendant and since has lived apart
from him. She alleges that "since
their marriage defendant has been
guilty of truel and inhuman treat
ment and personal abuse and Indig
nities rendering her life burdensome
and unhappy, and that defendant is
possessed of a violent and ungovern
able temper and on frequent occas-.
Ions has choked, beat and otherwise
mistreated plaintiff." Among other
things it is alleged that "defendant
has pointed a loaded revolver at
plaintiff and threatened her life all of
which has caused plaintiff to leave
defendant and live apart from him."

Cora D. Comstock has begun an ac-.
tion in department No. 2 against
Frderlck E. Comstock, according to
papers filed on Friday by Walter L.
Tooze, Jr., counsel for the plaintiff.
The complaint states that the couple
were married at Dundee, Ore., on
May 8, 1888 and that they lived to
gether until Nov. 10, 1912 when de
fendant left plaintiff. The complaint
accuses defendant of "gross drunken
ness and a quarrelsome disposition"
and states that "defendant has often
abused plaintiff and cursed her in the
presence of her children and once
when a number of friends were at
the house." It is also alleged that
the "defendant's gross and habitual
drunkenness has weakened his mind."
Three children have been born to the.
union, two or wnom are under age,
viz.: Edna May, aged 16 years and
Herman, aged three years. Plaintiff
asks Court to give her the custody of
the two minor children, alleging that
she is competent to care for and ed
ucate them, and that the defendant,
by reason of his drunkenness and his
habitual associates. Is entirely unfit
to have their custody. She also asks
the Court to require defendant to pay
to the clerk of the court $30 per
month to assist her In the care and
education of the children; also asks
a further sum of $150 pendente lite,
and a still further sum of $160 to
permit her to employ attorneys and
