There was considerable fault find iug by witnesses brought to Laporte last week, to testify in the contest case, because the money due them was not forthcoming. A number of them were penniless and insisted upon the amount due them. They were really mad all over. "MiUe"' of Lopez, was anxious to settle with Scoutcn one way or another. It is believed by our people that after Judge Sittser has read the tes timony of the voters in the contest case, he will withdraw the case from a further hearing, regardless of tho doings of tho judicial apportionment committee. In doing this Judge Sittser would receive the congratu lations of his many old time friends.
