Judge Prince returned last
evening from down the line. and
in conversation with an Enter
prise reporter stated that he had
completed the details for a con.
test Of the vote cast in the fourth
ward at the late election, the
groIads being the failure Of the
returning board to properly sign
their returns and other technical
points. The throwing out of
this ward would elect Mr.. Prince
insteado Mr.. Nelson to the po-.
sltion Of municipal judge, but
would affect the election of no

just t5motive to the board, and the
extent of the technical errors
will be better known when the
case comes up for a hearing.
