Make Your Vote Count!

In every election more or less uncertainty arises
the legal way mark the official ballot The Election
Judges frequently construe the law differently thus in
structing the voters wrong.
But there is way in which you can mark your
ballot that be questioned Do not place an
in the circle the head of the ticket, but mark
in the circle to the right of every man for whom you
wish to vote. No Election Judge can question that.
For example, begin by marking an x to the right Of
each Democratic nominee for Presidential electors To
for them is for Parker and Davis. Then go
straight down the ticket to the bottom.
By voting thus you will aid in uphoding good gov
ernment and morality in the State and Nation And
you will also aid in crushing that damnable curse-Po-
lyeamy-and the political dictations Of the Mormon
church in State and County affairs

Bun(o Artist fks(n Him Out Of 500
On brass and Bronze Nine
Located Near Boise.

When John Althusen, of Pittsburg,
Pa. applied at the chamber of com
merce for information concerning ma
chinery used in the operation of a
'brass and bronze' mine, a very
pretty bunco trick in which he was
the victim to the tune Of 5000 was
exposed, says the Portland Oregon
ian.
Mr.. Althausen came from Pennsyl-
vania for the purpose of looking over
the northwestern country. He is
coal miner and brought two years
savings with him. At Boise he
stopped to make some inquiries con-
cerning the Thunder Mountain mining
district. While there he fell in with
a man who professed to be govern
ment mining inspector. To him Mr..
Althausen stated his desire to go into
the mining business on limited
scale, but as his knowledge of mining
property was confined to coal fields
he felt some hesitancy in putting bis
money into any business until he was
certain of it. The man who claimed
to be the government inspector won
the strangers confidence and gave
him information as to valuable "brass
and bronco mines in Idaho. lie
even went SO far as to bring samples
for Mr.. Althausen's inspection
What these samples were is moi
. known, but after number of confer
, ences. during which the values of the
: mines we're made to appear greater
than all the gold mnes Of the world
combined, Mr.. Althausen was induced
To purchase. That is he paid tn
mine inspector 5000 TO locate him OF
one Of the best mines in Idaho,
short distance from Boise.

A shooting scrape occurred We'd

north of Mineral which nearly cost
Lewis, sheepherder in the employ
of Oscar Hindman, his life. The
shooting was done by two boys named
Berberich and dispute over the

The particulars as told to the Sig
nal are that two bands of sheep-one
owned by Hindman, in charge Of
Lewis, and the other, owned by Ber-
berich, in charge of the two boys
we're grazing close together and dis
pute arose over certain part of the
range which both claimed. Words
we're passed between them when Lew
is, thinking to frighten the boys,
raised his gun and fired two shots
above his head. Almost simultan-
eously the Berberich boys fired at
Lewis one ball grazing bis neck and
the other striking him In the shoul-

Republican Leaders Have Defih-
itely Decided to Contest the
Election of Alva Adams.
WILL GO BEFORE THE LEGISLATURE
1t Is their Purpose. II Is Said. to Sub
nit Evidence of Fraud in 30
Denver Precincts.
They viii Ask the Legislature 10 Have
the Entire Vote Of All These
Democratic Precincts
Thrown Out.

Denver, Col, Dec. 24.-According to
a report published Friday il has been
definitely decided by the republican
leaders to contest the election of Alya
Adams as governor before the legisla.
ture by which the vote is canvassed.
Their purpose, tits said, is to submit
evidence of frauds committed in 80
Denver democratic precincts over
which the supreme court took juris-
diction and ask to have the entire
vote of all these precincts rejected In
accordance with the example of the
court, which threw out the votes of
five precincts where 1t was shown Dy
evidence in contempt cases that its in
junction had been violated.
The state board of canvassers spent
the entire day in hearing arguments
in regard to its authority to go behind
the returns as presented by the county
canvassing boards. The board. which
is composed of five state officers, all
of whom are republicans. has been
asked to throw out the votes of GER
tain precincts in Boulder and Las An.
imas counties on the ground of the al
legged frauds and award the certificates
of election to two republican candi-
dates for the state senate.
In defending Clarence p. Dickson.
an election clerk charged with con.
tempt in having permitted inegal vot-
ing at the November election in viola
tion of the supreme courts injunction,
Attorney Philip Hornbein declared in
open court Friday that the ballot box
must have been tampered with since
the election. The experts report had
shown that there were 81 ballots in
the box which were folded in such a
manner as to show that they were not
deposited singly in the usual manner
through the opening in the box.
ut is impossible" said Mr. Horn
bein. that any election officer put the
81 folded ballots in that box The su.
prone court watchers were there the
entire day; they stayed until the morn
ing after the election when the box
was taken to the courthouse; they did
not allege that any stufling of the box
had been done. and the only theory |
have for the presence of those ballots
in the box is that they were put there
by some persons not connected with
the democratic organization"
Attorney Hornben asked the court
to order an investigation of the men
who have been acting as guardians OF
I. the ballot boxes at the courthouse and
at the statehouse when they were
opened for investigation. He intimat
ed that the watchers had been bribed
and had permitted the extraction of
