1t is expected the grand jury will
make another return this morning.
With the return will be presented a
request for an order of court continu-
ing the session into next week. There
is no possibility of the work being COM
peted today.
Much of yesterdays session was de-
voted to the only murder case trans
mitted, that in which Tomisi Siriano is
charged with the killing of Edward
Herbert, Sunday. October .. last, on
Fail Brook street. Carbondale.
Herbert, it appears, was passing by
"a house where Il wedding celebration
was in progress. and in some way in
cited the anger Of Siriano. A quarrel
ensued and it resulted in Siriano
plunging large. dirty, rust-covered
knife into Ierbert's abdomen, making
an opening through which the intes-
tines protruded. Herbert died three
days later. Sriano is also charged with
the latter went TO Herbert's rescue.

| terday afternoon the section of the
act Of 1881 governing elections for the
| increase of the Indebtedness of munich
| palites which Il. l.. Day and company
| claim the city has not lived up to.
! 1t reads as follows
| Such election shall he held ut the place. time
and under the same regulations as provided bv
law for the holding of municipal elections. and
il shall be the duty of the inspectors and
judges OF such elections to receive tickets, either
written OF printed. from electors qualified under
the constitution OF this state to vote in such
district, labelled the outside increase the
debt" and containing in the inside the words
mo increase Of debt or ''dcbt may be in.
| crcased'' also briefly The purpose and amount
of increase and to deposit said tickets in L
box provided for that purpose, is provided
by law in regard to other tickets received at
said election
r. l.. Day & Co. first contend that
the above section cOntemplates separ-
ate and distinct ballots for the author
| ization Of an increase. of indebtedness.
They then contend that, leaving this
out of the question: the words ''in-
crease of debt did not appear on the
outside of the ballots used.
The words mo increase of debt" and
debt may be increased" appeared on
the regulation Baker ballot used at the
election, and it is true that the words
increase of debt" did not appear on
the outside of the ballot, but it is not
believed that this amounts to very
much. 1t is understood that City Solic-
itOr NOsburg contends that the law
does not contemplate an extra ballot.
The next objection raised by the COM
pany is that there should have been
additional and separate ballot boxes
and that the special ballots should
have been deposited in these. They
construe the last few lines OF the sec
ton to mean this. but a careful read
ing of these few lines will reveal the
fact that they are exceedingly ambigu-
Gus and might mean that special bal
lot box is required or that the ballots
were to be deposited in the regulation
ballot box.
The issue of $250,O00 worth of bridge
bonds was authorized in 1894 in pre-
cisely the same manner as the present
issue, the election being conducted en-
actly the same way.
City Solicitor Vosburg is inclined to
believe that several of the other orig
inal bidders will be perfectly willing to
take the bonds. and is hopeful of re-
cefving favorable responses from them
before next Thursday night.

Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1900-10-02

The Boston Evening Transcript has
the following editorial regarding the
political situation in North Dakota:
The action of Governor Fred B..
Fancher (Rep.) of North Dakota in
declining denomination two months
after the convention is most unusual.
1t is singular that this young state has
never yet reelected its chief executive
and seldom has one been renominated.
The people were congratulating them
selves this year that they would break
this precedent, but at almost the last
moment Governor Fancher seeing that
| by reason of ill-health he could take
| no part in the campaign withdrew.
| He is a very popular and efficient exc
| cutive, an excellent business man and
was president of the constitutional
| convention. The nominee for lieu
tenant governor, Frank White, who
has been advanced to the first place,
has had long legislative experience,
was a major in the North Dakota reg
iment which won renown in the Phil
ippines, and is a strong and aggressive
candidate who will certainly poll a
full vote and should win easily.
