Against the Names in Dispute.

The citizens of New Utrecht have
gained their first victory over Cornelius
F~urgueson.

that Furgueson's election inspectors had
practically given up the fight they start
cd against the casting of an honest

be challenged" opposite each of the
seventy illegally registered names from
the Inebriates' Home.
The discovery has been made that
Furgueson had registered 10 names

terrain the protests of the citizens,
n when they were threatened with
an order from the Supreme Court, they
