Votes, But Will Have to Fight In
the Courts. u III
An interesting legal question has
been raised over the result of the re-
cent election in Mckenzie county.
Alexander is the present county seat,
being thus designated by Governor
sarles, and Alexander, schafer and
Stonehouse were the candidates for
county seat honors to be determined
by the electors at the general election.
The returns show that Schafer defeat
ed Alexander by four votes, while
Stonehouse was bad third.
Now it is claimed that in Alexander
the ballots ran shy and that 80 voters
who assembled at the polling place
were not able to cast a vote on the
location OF the county seat because of
there being no ballots. Frank Fish,
WilHston, has been retained by the
people of Alexander and the case will
be taken to the supreme court in order
to determine just which village is en-
titled to county seat honors.
