From the Record.
Ben Donlin came down from
Estancia Monday to cast his vote
at the school election.
After the smoke of the election
contest last Monday had cleared
away it was found that Dr. C. D.
Ottosen had received 90 votes and
C. B. Custer 83, electing Ottosen
school director by a majority of 7.
Still the homeseekers come.
