THE WARD FOUR CASE.
The Case Of Mes.rs. Roberts ana Thorn
as Declared Elected for the Council.


The Case OF Messrs. Roberts ana Thorn
as Declared Elected for the Council.
Luther d. Roberts and George r. Thorn
90 have not Jet been seated % members
Of ths common council from Ward 4, and
they may net be. The return Of Monday e
election in Ward 4 signed by the ward
clerk, Michael J. McDonoush and the
warden, john j. Gibbons. does not show
that these men received . majority Of the
votes cast, and though they may have
received . majority they cannot prove II
BY the returns.
The official returns OF the election were
supposed, under the Law, 10 be fully made
out In open meeting and before an sd-
journmsnt was taken. The returns them
selves show that ths ward clerk and
warden of Ward signed these election
returns before they were oompleted and
then adjourned the meeting. I've re-
turns Of the election we're made. One TO
the city clerk In sealed envelope. aud
the other an opsn retarn In book pro-
vided for ths purpose. The return In the
book did not state how many votes had
been cast for councilmen In Ward 4,
whsn 1t was received by the city clerk.
An argument arose as TO who had re-
ceivsd . majority Of the votes for ooun-
oilmen In Ward 4, aud than It was dis
covered that the ward clerk had failed TO
iii ous the blank showing the whols
number Of votes thrown. Mr.. Levi Green
leaf. chairman Of the Dmocratlo city oom-
mittee, who was In the city clerks ON ce
when this discovery was made, had Mr..
McDonough sent for and pointed out 20
him the omission, and Mr.. McDonoush
proceeded to NIL in the blank, having al.
ready signed IL enoe in open nesting and
declared that 10 was correct.
On the returns there 10 nothing 20 show
how many votes were thrown for coun.
ciimsn. and though tbs copy Of the return
has been dccsorsd the true copy does not
show the whole number OF votes thrown
II the copy does. Every other ward In
the city has the whole number Of votes
thrown for zach position on the ticket
properly made out excepting Ward 4. and
10 Is stated on sxosllent authority that II
the common council sees fit to do so 10
can refufe to aoospt the credentials of
Messrs. Roberts and Thomas when they
are presented at the organization Of that
body next Monday. The counoil can vote
TO seat its own members and II 1t chooses
not to seat them 1t can do 90. Messrs.
Roberts and Thomas may be forced to
appeal to the electors of Ward once
more, together with the other candidates
for oouncilmen and the alderman.

Few miners have already gone back

the quartz veins that run through the
limestone making up these mountains.
Here nuggets have been found worth
several hundred dollars, the gulches

discovered gold i'm the Cape Nome
district. That was in September OF
1898, and ii was only i'm July last year
that the precious grains were found i'm

the population OF Nome City is chiefly
American. In one year from now IL is
expected that this new Alaskan town
will'eclipse both Skaguay and Dawson
