 EVENTS OF THE DAY.
 It had been supposed that the con- hict would be complicated by the ap- pearance of women on the scene since they had so active Q part in the hot campaign. It had been announced by the democratic managers that there would be wholesale arrests of alleged republican hoaters and as a matter of fact they had made arrangements for that kind of a thing by the preparation of a lot of blank complaints.
 Early in the morning a dodger was issued containing the name of more than 100 persons who it was alleged had been illegally located in the first ward. It was claimed that some of them were not citizens of the United ! States; that others were not residents : f.-f not residents of the ward. Their ar rest was threatened in case they pre- sented themselves at the polls. This list was a humorous document drawn up evidently by some stranger within the gates for it bore the names of men who had lived in the ward for years and had voted there regularly. The names of men as well known as Geo. M Walker, Thos. J. Sparks, Deputy ! Sheriff William Cunningham, James l Kay, proprietor of the Alamo lodging house within half block of the poll- i ing place. graced this list.
 The vote of Deputy Sheriff Gun ningham, who had lived in the ward for eleven years, a near neighbor of one of the election judges, was actually challenged and he was required to swear himself in. Assurance may be ! given that nobody will be sent to the penitentiary from this ward by reason 1 of the proceedings of yesterday.
 The polls in the second and fourth wards were quiet. There were com paratively few challenges and few dis election boards. But in the third ward voters were looked over in a critical manner and unless the voter was well known he had to run the gauntlet of the challengers. John Kelly presented himself early in the morning but his name could not be found on the great register. He was naturally turned down and was compelled to go before Judge Kent and make application for a writ of mandamus. Kelly swore that he had gone to the office of the re- corder and had registered with c. H Robinson. Kelly was permitted to vote.
 THE LAW STEPS IN.
 Jose Garcia was arrested for psTjury in conuAc;i"n with the swearing in
 was not Q resident of The ward. His case will be heard today before Jus tice Burnett. Jesus Valencia, who passed the challengers with great diff ficulty, producing a congestion at the
 
 establish through an interpreter that | he was a resident of the ward was arrested soon after voting on the charge that he had contracted to sell his vote. ! One witness is prepared to swear that ! he saw the transaction. Valencia de- nied that there was a cOnsummation | of the deal but he said that he had been offered $2.5O for his franchise. ] As his offense is only a misdemeanor under the laws of this territory he was released on $25 bail and will be given a hearing before Justice Burnett to- day.
 | In the afternoon F.. Sunderland made ! complaint against w. c. Pemberton of the first ward. Pemberton by the way ! is one of the men whose names were 7 on the threatening list. The complain 1 ant charges that Pemberton was not a | citizen of the United States. He was : brought into court and made the state ment that he was naturalized by Judge Kent about three weeks ago. He said l his papers were in the office of the district clerk. The justice did not ar raign him but sent for the papers. IL was shown by them that his final pa pers were issued on April IT and that 1 he had made declaration of intention 1 on April 3, which is also the date of his | registration. A nice point will proba- ! bly come up in this case for though | the accused had made declaration he l had not actually been naturalized at 1 the time of his registration.
 Nothing else of an unsual character | occurred anywhere and the partisans | of each side put in the remainder of the day exclusively in getting out the 1 vote. As soon as the polls were closed | the counting began without the usual ] intermission for lunch. Curiosity was
