Deadwood Knocks Out Lead.


Everybody had planned on a bitter
county seat war between Deadwood
and Lead. Petitions and counter Pc
tition were presented the county COM
missioners asking them to call an
election upon the county seat question.
Deadwood fled affidavits of so many
parties withdrawing their signatures
from the main petition for submitting
the question to a vote that it cut their
petition below the required number of
names, and the commissioners there
fore refused to submit the question to
a vote. This is a great victory for
Deadwood and they are loudly jubilant
over it, as it will now be too late for
Lead to attempt to get up another pc
tition for the election.
