Jurors for the Term-GeneraI
Notes.

LANDER, Wyo.. May 19.-Probably
the most exciting election ever held
in Lander was the city elections last
Tuesday. There were three tickets in
the feld-Democrat Silver and Repub-
lican-and there were not over twenty
legal voters in town who failed TO get
to the polls. Among those who voted
was one cclored man and one China
man. The Democratic ticket was: H.
NJ. Farlow. mayor; A. Gerstle and
Henry Huffmaster, councilmen.
The Republican ticket was James
S. Vidal mayor; Z. Amoretti, jr., and,
George Jackson, councilmen.
The Silver ticket was: H. G. Nicker
son and NJ. d. Weed, councilmen. The
nominee for mayor on the silver ticket
refused to make the race at the last
moment, which left the silver men in
a bad shape. though they made
good showing for the first trial.
H. NJ. Farlow- Democrat, was cleo
ted mayor by IS majority. Henry Huff
master DemocraD and Z. Amoretti,
jr.. Republican, received the highest
number OF votes for cOuncilmen.
Mr.. Amoretti has the honor of being
the first Republican elected in Lander
since the first election, at which time
party lines were not considered. Lam
der is in safe hands for another year,
though the silver men say we'll show
'efn next time"
