FIGHT OVER A JUDGEsHIP.
We're Only a Voters, hut the Tally
sheets showed 40 Voted.


An interesting case was before Judge
FalIlgant yesterday for arbitration and
settlement, in which 1t appears the voters
of the Seventh district G. NJ, are ell at
sea over an election for justice of the
peace, which was held recently.
The result of the election was that Nc
Leod King, one Of the candidates, re-
ceived II votes; Mcintosh. q. while
ADAMS, who was not a candidate. was
favored by one friend, making a total OF
forty-six votes.
There would be nothing remarkable
about this, but for the fact that there
were only forty-four men who actually
voted. Then came the trouble. The
friends Of King made a kick and claimed
that fourteen of the votes for Mcintosh
were Illegal, because the voters had not
paid all taxes On the contrary side, the
friends Of Mcintosh claimed that the two
extra votes which got into the box were
given to King, and that one Illegal vote
was cast for him. thus bringing both Nc
Intosh's vote and Kings vote to totals Of
fourteen respectively, provided these
claims are found valid. This would mean
a tie, equal to no election.
It is shown and admitted that even II
Mcintosh should be declared in possession

ChatfieId Man Loses Both Legs-An
Old Man Takes His Own
Life.

No move was made yesterday in the
matter of the proposed attachment pro-
ceedings against Gov. Clough. From
what can be learned it is understood
that the meeting of the judges with
Attorney General Childs resulted in an
agreement to carry the matter to the
supreme court, and they asked that Mr..
Childs agree to the issue of an attach
ment as the proper and quickest way
out of the difficulty. This was under
stood by all the judges, but the mat
ter was not finally arranged for the
reason that, as the attorney general
appeared for the governor, he could not
make an arrangement without consult
ing him. Therefore the agreement was
reached with the understanding that
the attorney general should consult his
client and ascertain if he was willing
that such a course should be taken.
The matter was allowed to rest yes
terday for the very good reason that
Gov. Clough had an engagement which
called him to ST. Cloud to inspect the
reformatory. He is expected at his
office, however, at o'clock this morn
ing, and it is thought some action will
be taken today.
The grand jury yesterday took ad-
vantage of the opportunity offered
them for recess and paid visits to the

Clashes Between Duluth and the

Clashes Between Duluth and the
Northern Pacific.
DULUTH, Mimi, June 8.-Merry war
has been on today between the North
ern Pacific and the city Of Duluth
and the Duluth street railway. There
was yesterday a spur track on Garfield
avenue crossing the proposed street
car line to the Duluth superior bridge.
At last nights meeting the council
decided to remove the track, and early
this morning between and 8 O'Clock
the mayor, police and force of street
car men removed theltrack and laid
the street car track. The men had no
sooner finished than the railway COM
pany sent a force Of men, pulling M
the street car track, laid it's own tracks
again and pushed fouE cars full force
down the grade, At a. point where the
street car line crossed the railroad
track one car drove itself deep In
the sand with the front trucks pushed
to the back of the car land the other
cars were piled on top, Next a guard
was placed. Later in the morning a
platoon of police drove away the guard.
and q force of men again went to work
to clear up the rubbish and relay the
street car tracks under police protec-
ton. Before the task was completed.
however, the Northern Pacific got out
a temporary injunction, delaying the
fight till the court passes on the roads
title to right of way, which is claimed
by adverse possession of fifteen years.
The railroad men kept their cars on the
track, and when requested to remove
them did not refuse, but gave an ex-
cIse for delaying. This gave their
attorneys time to appeal to the court
and thus prevented the city from doing
anything.
