ST. PAUL, April 19.-Evidently in an

its lines run, for q temporary injunc-
ton restraining the strikers from dis

men who desire to continue in the serv-
ice Of the company or with men who
may be employed to take the places OF
those who quit its service, and from in
terfering with or obstructing In any
wise the operation of the railway.
The courts will be petitioned to issue an

Argus Leader, IS: The Sioux Falls
papers pounded hard before election on
the matter Of properly marking the bal
lots but Notwithstanding that fact a
large number we're thrown out when the
count came. An Argus-Leader reporter
sat in the Fourth ward polling place
during the counting of the votes there.
Not over one fifth of the voters had
voted for all OF the candidates for whom
they were ~priviledged to vote. Eight en-
tire ballots were thrown out on account
of improper marking. Some voted for
all three mayors, and some cast a ballot
for mayor and none for the other candl
dates. Some placed the * in the 20
