INCIDENTS.
Mayor Rhoads and Chief of Polio
DouRherty used every precaution q
prevent disturbance. and the entir
police force was on duty from the tim
the polls opened. A force was held II
reserve at police station and carriage
were kept stAnding in front of the CIT
Hall all the afternoon ready to carr,
0 the officers TO any point needed, bu
. fortunately there were but two occa
' sions whom their services were required
! The Mayor and chief are entitled to th
3 | greatest credit for their foresight Il
Q adopting the measures they did for tn
y preservation of the peace.
Il About 10 O'Clock Saturday mornin
oil Councilman F. b It. Miller called upo
8 Clerk Hyland for the ballot box belong
Q ing In the Twelfth district, Fifth ware
and was informed that 1t had been ser
= out to the polling place at Eighth an
Franklin streets. Upon proceeding
this place he found quite a number
: persons collected and learned that IL
ballot box had been given to sol.
) ons who had carried it to Seventh IN
Harrison streets. In company with ii
s inspector, Joseph Martin, and a fe
: friends Mr.. Miller proceeded to thI
place and found that q mock electic
n for inspector had taken place, and Il
d polls opened by OK .Cbief Engineer
IS the Water Department, II. B. McIntir
" Mr.. Miller demanded that the DC
should be given up to Mr.. Martin, ii
al regular inspector, but Mr.. McInti
2 oontendea that as the regularly electt
q inspector did not turn up in time,
22 had beon elected by standing out vo
- and expressed his determination
" conduct the election.
McIntire seemed determined to ho
1t, and was warned by Mr.. Miller tn

36l twenty ballots In the bsx at that tin
and these were emptied out by 1nspe
tor Martin as soon as the box came in
j. his possession. The polls were opene

i9 2 20 O clock, when those who had vot'
j at the bogus polls came forward, 81
IA again deposited their ballots.
A similar trick was more successf

00 polls about II % o'clock. John Il Pc

the ground that he was too late, Al
should have been present when t
al. polls opened. When p. j. 6eery, I

Lol ties WAS shut out In this summa
- manner he refused to serve, and aft

was no doubt just what the ring wante
