Four Ulster Deaths Prompt Fearful Retaliation
Belfast reports say four more people were killed as sectarian violence rises near the Irish border. A pair of men tied and stabbed with pitch forks were found on a farm near Newtonbutler, with one man later linked to the IRA. Security spokesmen consider retaliation for John Bell’s burial after a Protestant soldier was killed. A sniper killed a 19 year old soldier in Belfast and a booby trap death in England raises the toll to 629 in three years of Northern Ireland strife.

Dispute Over After-Hours Voting in Williamson County

Wellman’s attorney contends after-hours voting occurred under extenuating conditions, blaming long ballots and two hour lines for the incident and calling it a good faith error not fraud.
