An interesting question was
raised at the primary last Saturday
night as TO how far a mans inten
tons controls his place Of voting.
Mr.. w. j. Enthoten, who has a
family in Illinois, house and lot
in Jasper, and spends his time be
tween the two places, was chal-
lenged. He presented an affidavit
setting out that he was a native cit
izen of Jasper, and entitled to vote
at the May election, that he always
had voted in Jasper since he came
OF age, and had nevervoted anywhere
else. He was not permitted to vote
because his family was in Illinois.

him. After leaving the pier Jack ran
into IL saloon. Millet came In painting

Then he grew warm and said lie sus-

The longshorcmen growled again In
