doubly Irritating, coming as a check

CLOSE ELECTION AT MooRI1EAD.

Votes

Mayor Lewis Is Beaten by Only Two
Votes.
Moorhead, Minn., March 19.-The
municipal election was the most h0tly
contested in the history of Moorhea6.
There were four candidates in the
mayoralty race, and, while Il close vote
was anticipated. the result is sur
prise to all. Mayor Lewis. the pres
cnt incumbent, ran on wide. open
policy, and it was expected that his
three opponents would split up the OBJ
position vote sufficiently to secure his
election, but the official count shows
that he was defeated by two votes.
The result was: A. G.. Lewis, 312;
Samuel Frazier. 314; J. r. Hansen,
2GS; Fred Hennebohle. 4. Frazier is
the manager of the North Dakota
Milling association plant here. and was
supported by the labor vote. The
saloon men are friendly to Lewis. and
say they will put up money to contest
the election, and, If necessary, will
appeal it to the supreme court. 1t will
take almost the entire term to secure
a decision, thus retaining Lewis as
mayor. Intense excitement prevails,
and an official recount may possibly
change the result.

San Francisco, March 19.-Thc coun-
Gil that is sitting in Judgment on the
Rev. DR.. Brown, has acquitted the ac-
cused pastor on one charge. After a
long debate, the co,lncilmcn came to
the conclusion that DR.. Brown was
not guilty of any immoral conduct
with Mrs. NJ. A. Stockton. They based
their opinion ON the following facts:
First-That Mrs. Stockton was not a
woman whose testimony would be
taken for the truth.
Second-That there was no evidence
introduced that was strong enough in
legal sense to convict the pastor.
Third-That he had shown Mrs.
Stockton great kindness in the way
that n Christian minister should, and
that she had taken advantage of that
kindness.
