CITY ELECTION RESULTS
Practically Two Ties for Aldermen...It viii Be Up
to the City Council to Decide Winnersm
the First and Second Wards.

Frank Hazen appears to be about
the only candidate in the city cleo
ton yesterday who is sure that he is
elected. Frank would have been
elected under any circumstances but
as it happened he had no opposition
os was sure of cinche.
In the first ward, the judges GER
titled up 80 votes for Wagner, DEM
ocrat, and 40 for Pennock, republi-
can. One vote, evidently intended
for Wagner, was thrown out, which
if counted, would have made it tie.
In the second ward where there
were four candidates, Jones, demo-
crat, and Green, republican, tied with
80 votes each. Heaney, socialist, got
26 and Wilber, independent, rs. In
the third, Hazen, OF course, got all Of
the votes.
The question of passing an ordi-
nance closing the saloons at mid
night was lost by plurality of 27.
The first ward was a tie on the SUBJ
ject.
The city council will meet as a
canvassing board next Monday even
ing and some of the numerous ties
will probably be settled at that time.

will not be opened again until it is
turned over to the judges on the
evening of May 9th.
The vote yesterday came from all
sections of the county and the drop
in" vote in the office was especially
large.
Miss Georgia Deaton received the
largest white vote, that is coupons
cut from the paper, with Miss
Dougherty second and Miss Stevens
third.
Throughout the week all OF the
young ladies and their friends worked
especially hard and made excellent
showings.
From everywhere over the city
came telephone messages making in
quiry as to the result Of last nights
count and an interesting crowd look
cd over the counter as the votes were
being counted.
The friends Of Miss Deaton, Miss
Dougherty and Miss Stevens all feel
confident and while a number of lit
tie wagers have been offered on the
final result, in no instance has any
person offered odds on their favorite.
The judges Of the final count will
be announced in next weeks issue.

WILLIAM HORTOP DEAD.
One of Best Known Old Timers OF
Fergus County Passes Away.

William Hortop, one of the bes:
known residents of Fergus county,
died Sunday afternoon at the home
of J. w. Luton in this city, after a
protracted illness.
William Hortop came to Lewis
town Is years ago and has made this
place his residence since that time.
He was born in England 20 years
ago. Fred Hortop, son of the de-

THE LAST OPEN Count
Next Monday the Ballot Box in Oriental Contest
viii Be Opened for the Last Time Until
theCIOSing ay--Ava|anChe Of Votes.

The special bonus of 1000 votes for
every eight new subscribers brought
in an avalanche of votes and it was
great stride for supremacy. Miss
Theo c. Dougherty takes the lead
this week for the first time, having
polled 46,655 votes, being the largest
number received by any one young
lady on any one day yet. Miss Katie
Stevens, Of Kendall, received the
second highest vote yet recorded be-
ing 4O,S9O, which now makes her
second in the race.
1t is the first time since the in
ception Of the contest that Miss Dea-
ton has not lead The situation,
however, appears to be more compli-
Gated than ever and it would be the
widest kind of gamble at this time
to even as much as make prediction
as to the probable outcome. The
friends of Miss Katie Stevens rallied
to her aid, being induced by the
special bonus offer.
The last open count by the Demo,
crat office will be made next Mon.
day night. Then the ballot box will
be placed in Phillips Drug Store and
