HOW MISSING VOTES ARE
ESTIMATED.
Yesterday the Gazette ac
counted for missing townships
and this morning it accounts for
missing voting precincts. In
talking to the correspondents
over the state yesterday, esti
mates of the vote now out were
obtained by taking the vote in
the last general election in the
missing precincts. The vote has
been canvassed officially in 17
counties of the state. The Ga
zette has the official figures from
Stone county because the tele
phone line to Mountain View was
not working.
It is expected that the official
■vote from Mississippi county
j will show figures other than
'those given in the Gazette’s ta
bles. The report from there
was given in round numbers and
nothing has been obtainable
since.
OLDFIELD HAS BIG LEAD
No new returns were received
from the Gazette’s correspond
ents yesterday affecting either
the Railroad Commissioner or
Congressional district races. Of
ficial returns from Lawrence
county gave the count for Con
gressman Oldfield and Tom
Campbell, his opponent, just as
was unofficially shown in the Ga
zette’s figures Sunday morning.
Oldfield’s lead over Campbell is
2,963 votes.
In the Third Congressional
district the official count from
Madison county and small cor
rections made from more com
plete returns from other coun
| ties, while increasing the total
I vote of all six candidates, cut
! Tillman’s lead over Fuller, his
nearest opponent, to 372 votes.
The vote for the six candidates
on the Gazette’s count today is:
Tillman, 5,725; Fuller, 5,353:
Harvey, 2,427; Bratton, 2,031;
Hudson, 1,241, and Stuckey, 113
There were no changes in the
returns from the Seventh dis
trict, where Congressman Good
win is leading Warnock, hie
i 1 . 1 /»A
nearest .opponent, uy
The standing of the Railroac
Commissioner races remains
the same as in Sunday’s Ga
zette without change in the re
turrfs from any of the six candi
dates in the two contested dis
tricts.
THE STATE RACES.
So much interest has beei
manifested in the tug of war foi
the senatorial toga that the re
turns for state offices have lag
ged in the rear.
The total vote reported at Th'
Gazette office is near the 100,
000 mark, and about eight coun
ties have not reported. Addi
tional returns received yester
day from Johnson county, am
the complete official vote fror
Lawrence county made onl,
slight changes in the totals
en yesterday morning. The tc
' tals as they now stand are a
follows: Hodges 66,026; Dowr
ing 27,835; McCain 44,158
, Coffmlan, 48,830; Cook, 48

This leaves the majority i

ARMIES FIGHTING
IN TORREON
Villa Reports That Rebels Hold
Nothing But Barracks In
City.
Juarez, Mexico, March 29.—
An official message from the
front tonight states that fight
ing is still going on for the pos
session of Torreon.
The telegram says the rebels
now hold all positions except the
main barracks and two smaller
barracks. In the last 24 hours
it is reported that General Villa
took Cerra de la Cruz and the
Torreon foundry. Another tele
gram admits a rebel loss in the
last six days of 900 killed and
wounded and places the Federal
loss at 2,000. As there already
are at Chihuahua 500 wounded,
the report of rebel losses is
thought to have been minimized.
Among the rebel wounded is
(fen Thomas Urbina.
It is said that private soldiers
taken prisoners are being taken
into rebel ranks, but their of
ficers are executed unless they
take the oath of iflegiance to the
Constitutional cause. All ir
regular troops in the Federal
garrison are executed on cap
ture.
There have been no newspaper
disp; ches dealing with the at
tack, md the similarity of this
situation with that a Gomez Pal
acio is pointed out as significant.
When Villa was successful there
he permitted the newspaper men
to send their dispatches, but
when he was repulsed, as he was
twice, press messages suddenly
ceased.
