The election is proceeding very quietly.
Owing to the great number Of polling
places the crowds in attendance are small
and voting goes on briskly without neces-
sity for any delay. The Workingmen are
making the greatest show of effort and in
the Tenth Ward women are engaged in
bedding tickets and electioneering. Up
to noon over 10000 votes had been
cast. 1t is expected the polling will be
heavier during the afternoon. 1t is proba-
Bile. however, that a light vote will be cast,
and this will be in favor of the Working
men, who will bring up all their men. Not
a single disturbance has yet been reported.
At military headquarters there is no
news from the front.
Up to 2 P. NJ. Is 1000 votes had been
polled. The impression is gaining ground
that Keaney will get away with the fight.
The workingmen are considered well
ahead in the district south of Market street,
while the Twelfth and Eighteenth Wards
are believed to be gaining a heavy non
partisan majority.
Particulars Of a double homicide which
occurred on the 18th at Salmon river, TIL
amonk county, have just been received. A
white man named Perry Dobson and an
Indian belonging to the Nestuch tribe had
a quarrel over some beef cattle, during
which Dobson drew a pistol and shot his
antagonist. The ARRAY was witnessed by two
white men and ten Indians. After Dobson
shot the Indian several Others attacked
him. The white men attempted to inter
fere to protect Dobson, but were over
powered by the Indians and held fast dur
ing the fight. One Of the Indians drew a
shotgun, heavily loaded with buckshot,
and its cont1nts took effect in Dobson's
back, killing him instantly. After the
homicide the Indians mounted tier ponies
and rode away. Chief Sam Of the NestGck
tribe witnessed the whole affray, but did
not interfere to prevent bloodshed. The
authorities have been notified and the
murderers will probably be arrested.
