CourJ II against Reiator's contention, it
was doubtless considered, would termin-
ate the proceediug, under rule adopted
in the Sweeney-HjWl case, % Nevada, 400.
The opinion and ruliB-s Of the Court on
that question were given as follews:
The Respondent has set up in his an
sWer as an affirmative defense that at
said election there were five election dis
tricts duly established in the City of
Reno, each district embracing One of the
five wards of the City: that the Act in
cooperating the City provided that the
electors Of each ward should elect one
Councilman, the five Councilman thus
elected to constitute the Board of Coun-
cilmen of said City; that i'll each ward a
certain number of ballots, all of which
had printed thereon the names of all the
candidates for City Councilmen, were
cast and counted for the Reator. amount
ing in the aggregate in all the wards to
! Al ballots, on which there were crosses
and other illegal and distinguishing and
| identifying marks made opposite the
name of the persons named and nomin-
ated for Councilmen in each of the other
wards of the City. The Relat0r inter
posed general demurrer to that portion
of the answer, and asked the Court to
decide the question of the validity of the
ballots cast in the respective wards by
| voters who voted tor Councilmen who
resided in and were candidates for the
office of Councilman for ward other
than that in which the voter resided or
was entitled to vote, irrespective of the
allegations that said ballots contained
other distinguishing and identifying
marks.
at is claimed by the Relator that under
the Act incorporating the city of Reno,
Statutes of Nevada, 1897, p. 80, each cleo
tor Of the City had right to vote for all
five OF the City Councilmen. Upon this
question the Court is of one mind. By
Section Of slid Act, it is provided, that
the corporate powers of the City shall be
vested in a City Council to consist of five
members who shall be actual residents
and owners of real estate in the City, who
shall be chosen by the qualified electors
thereof provided that no two or more of
said five Councilmen shall he residents
OF the same ward. If this Section stood
alone without further enactment limit

lator be tenable, but it is further provided

The Relator hy his complaint alleges
that on the second day of January, 1899,
the Respondent usurped, intruded into

1t is due the able array of counsel of
the respective pal ties to state, that they
have exhibited remarkable industry in
prc>eoting the facts, in compiling the
authorities in support of their several
contentious on the legal points involved
/ and have maintained their positions on
both questions ofIaw and fact with great
cledrucss and ability. To give in full
the questions raised and note the arIu-
nent ct counsel and the authorities cited

final opinion the membe of the Court
have eudeav0red to state as plainly and
cOncisely as they could the more import

rulings thereon made during the progress
of the trial as well as those reserved for
determination till the close, with brief
citations of authorities, and mainly with

authorities on the several questions

to reach as speedily as possible the tina
