TALLY COUNT SHOWS THAT

OVERLOOKED LAW DEMAND
ING FIRST AND SECOND
CHOICE.

1t is very evident that the law
regulating the counting of ballots
on which there is first and sec
ond choice has been violated IN
almost every precinct, both Spo-
kane city and county. The law
requires that no ballot shall be
counted which does not show the
first and second choice where a
space is provided for 1t.
The discrepancy in the totals
of first and second choice being so
general, the canvassing board is
taking no cognizance Of these eX-

from the precincts and recounting

then taken to Walla Walla, where
the woman was told she had better
look to the people of Spokane
county for living for herself and
little ones.
Arriving here the children were
taken care of by friends until the
meeting of the county commission
ers yesterday, when the unfortun-
ate woman appeared with the story
of her hardships.
Offers of accommodation at the
county poor farm for herself and
children were not regarded by the
woman with much felicity, but
moved by the expression of love for
her offspring and her earnestness
to endeavor to support them by TAX

made her an allowance of Sc for
house rent, a weeks supply of gro

Added to her tribulations IS the
alleged wrongs of Daniel, a money

held chattel mortgage on part of

absence, while In oregon, the mort

says, even the unincumbered

To lay wounded upon the floor of
a boxcar watching man pull his
gun and fire sharp singing bullets
into him was the experience last
night of Panty Nordonoff, a Bull
garian laborer, age "a. He was
brought to Sacred Heart hospital
over the Northern Pacific about 6
o'clock this morning, almost I'M
conscious with agony.
AS he lay upon an improvised cot
on which he rode from Heron,
Mont, he told story Of heroic
suffering and tenacious clinging
to life to an interpreter while his
large black eyes glistened with
tears forced into them by the pain
from three gaping bullet wounds.
two in his right chest and one in
his right arm, which lay paralyzed
at his side.
AS the result OF the labored story
Nordonoff told the interpreter,
Special Agent Hindman of the rail-
road and the police of this and
Montana cities are studying a
meager description of the would
be murderer, who is thought to be
a yeggman, and, from the story,
as cold blooded a criminal as has
infested the northwest in long
time, or a crook serving as brake
man.
Like many foreigners, and as
Nordonoff had done before, he got
into a freight car in Missoula
Mont, early last night first giving
the brakeman 81 to take him tC
Trout Creek, the end of the freight
division. When the train was safe
ly under way Nordonoff went tt
sleep. He has a wife and baby IL
Bulgaria and might have beer
dreaming of returning to them this
winter when awakened by the
train stopping and the car dool
opening.
A man crawled in and flashed 6

the crouching Bulgarian, then GOV
cred him with revolver.
Hand over your money and be
d quick" he commanded.
Hardly were the words out OF
his mouth than Nordonoff dove his
hand into his trouser pocket and
brought out So bill. The robber
evidently believing his victim had
grasped for weapon, fred. and
the bullet entered Nordonoff' s
right arm. The pain was so ex
cruciating that the victim shrieked
and fell senseless upon the floor
His Inconsistencies lasted but a
moment and he next heard the
robber climb upon the boxcar and
run over it toward the rear of the
train. Nordonoff lay writing upon
the floor while the train covered
several miles.
Then it stopped and once more
the car door was thrown open and
a man entered. Nordonoff was
watching him and the light of the
lantern gave good view of his
face. He walked over to where
Nordonoff lay, saw that his vic
tins eyes were open and he was
not dead, then pulled his revolver

SPOKANE PRIMARY COUNT
LEFT OPEN TO CONTEST

a general lack of information, with
regard to this law, among the
members of the election boards.
Should any candidate desire to
contest the election, an immense
amount of work would be entailed
by the necessity of a recount to
throw out the illegal ballots. So
far there seems to have been no
disposition on the part of any can
didate to do this.
The checking up of election re-
turns by the canvassing board is
going slowly but steadily ahead
Since the actual count began yes
terday afternoon, IL precincts of
the city, comprising the First

cording to the estimate of County
Auditor Greene, it will take almost
the entire coming week to conf
plete the tally of the remaining
104 precincts.
The state canvassing board will
meet on September 80 at Olympia.
The law provides that ballots not
voted according to regulations
