Electors petitions have been fled
with ;he city clerk as follows: Chas.
E. Vasal.y for mayor; E. G. Lane f5r
alderman at large; A. Simonet aud
L. E. Richard for treasurer; John
Mcdonald and W. W. Hunter for
assessor; F. E. Hall for clerk; T. j.
Martin for alderman second ward;
E.. F. Shaw and T., Sheldon for lust
ices.
There is no opponent of Mayor
Vasaly as yet in the field. We sup
pose there will be. The mayor il not
worrying over opposition or it's char
acter.
City Clerk Hall has 80 far no oppo-
sition. We understand that Bert
Stewart will not be a candidate.
Dana Brown has been mentioned. I.
The man who defeats Hall this year
will have his hands full.
1t is understood that Chester Rog-
ers will ran against Mr.. Lane. Under
present circumstances there is no
possible chance for Mr.. Rogers to
win Mr.. Lanes record has been that
OF friend OF the people and a con.
server of their interests. No one can
come into the field for the Office with
out laying himself open to the charge
OF being opposed to what Mr.. Lane
stands for.
The contest or treasurer is be-
tween two good men and promises
to be interesting. both can 'idates
having any friends. Both are we'll
known business men.
John Mcdonald wants to be assess
or again and has an opponent in W.
". Hunter. Mcdonald is recognized
as a great vote-getter, while Mr..
Hunter has plenty friends and is a
hustler himself.
We do not think Geo. Moeglein
vii have any opposition for alder
man from the first ward. He has
served the city ably for many years.
There is SO far no opposition to
Aid. Martin in the second ward. Op.
position would be useless, as Mr..
Martin cannot, under present con-
ditions, be defeated. The ward will
reward faithful service by sending
him back to the cou neil.
Aid. Turner will not like! !yhaveany
oppositionin the third va 81 :..s ....:s:s. d -
Justices Shaw and Sheldon have
no opposition. They have credit
ably filed their positions.
Decisions by Judge Searle.
Judge Searle has made several de.
clsions in local cases.
The case OF Harriet McNea: vs.. H.
A. Rider and E. W. Bouck has been
decided in favor OF the plaintiff. The
action vas to recover $135 Is TO,
wheat which had been levied on. -.
In the case of G.. W. Bouck VS.
Henry Meyers, the court denies the
motion for an injunction, without
passing on the judgment, and holds
that equity will not Interfere to re-
strain the collection OF a Judgment
where it does not appear but that
the defendant had remedy at Law
by defense in the original action OF
an appeal from it. An execution
had been issued directing sheriff OF
constable in either Benton or Morri
son county to levy on defendaht's (
property. The defendant made nc
answer nor appeal, but brought suit
to restrain collection, on the ground
that the Justice had no jurisdiction
