The vote for recordership, between
T. L. Duncan and ]. B. Wilm, was
in reality a tie, one ballot being
counted that should have been
thrown out, it being illegal, owing to
the fact that the voter placed another
name on the ticket for recorder,
making two for the same office.
with this bollot thrown out, the vote
would stand tie between the two
candidates, and steps will be taken
to have the ballots recounted.

At Cass Lake.


to Pioneer. )-After the most excit-
ing political battle ever waged in
the history of Cass Lake the "Citi-
zens' Ticket" headed by L. M
LANCE, won out yesterday in the
contest for the selection of village
officers for Cass Lake for the en-
suing year.
The result of the fight was to de-
termine whether the men who were
responsible for the unenviable repu-
ton which Cass Lake has gained
during the past year, should be re-
stored to Office, and after a fight,
which reused the ire of every re-
spectacle voter, and which caused
every clergyman in the village to
preach in fervent words, and which
caused Governor Johnson to write a
very strong letter to the sheriff of
the county regarding the many con-
templated unlawful actions at this
election, and resulting in the attor-
ney general sending his assistant
here that fair play would exist, the
Citszens' Ticket" was successful.
When the polls opened Tuesday
morning and the sheriff read
letters from the governor and the
attorney general, and Assistant At
torney General Weeks appeared on
the scene, matters took a decided
change for the better.
The first two of the many lum-
berjacks who had been induced to
vote (illegally) after being chal-
lenged, swore in their votes and
were Immediately arrested. This
put fear in the rest and they left
the village.
The controllers of the election
stated positively at the outset that
no one connected with the "Citi-
zens" ticket would be permitted
within fifty feet of the polls, and
to that end a. chain fence was
built around the voting places. But
when Governor Johnson's letter was
read and the assistant attorney
general spoke, the gang" backed
up, and the chain was practically
ignored.
Almost every man who voted
was challenged and not until he was
rigidiy cross-examined was his vote
accepted.
The two men arrested will be
prosecuted to the full extent of the
law and given a chance to prove
they had a right to vote here.
The election of the "Citizens"
ticket means that Cass Lake will
receive the greatest overhauling
ever known in It's history.
L. M. LANCE, the president of
the council, is man who was never
known to shirk his duty, and he
has held many honorable positions.
Besides being present judge of pro-
bate of Cass county, he was FORM
erly receiver of the u. S. land office
at Marshall, a former judge of
probate of that county, and also a
former commander of the state G..
A. R. of Minnesota.
J. E. Lundrigan, the local attorney,
had no opposition for the office
of trustee of the village and he
was given the full support of the
Labor" and the "Citizens" tickets,
receiving total of ISL votes, which
indicates his great popularity with
all classes of the village.
The following is the result of the
election.

THE DIAMOND
SAD WAS THE
 TALE THEY TOLD
With the Game Tucked Away New Haven Put Rents in the Tucks
 Other Games.

The account of yesterdays fiasco in New Haven is given by MT Robin son of the Palladium as follows:
 Waterbury handed New Haven the game yesterday afternoon at the Rock in the ninth inning, when Man. ager Durant held Sillery in the box when the young fellow was all in and couldn't throw to the plate. The score was to 1 in favor of Water bury in the ninth with two men gone when Sillery caved in. Those he didn't walk he hit and after forcing in three runs and one run scoring on a hit, Simmons, the old reliable, hit one of Sillery's straight balls. 10. three bases, scoring three runs and winning the game, to 6. The ninth inning was a big farce on both sides.
 It was in the ninth when Pitcher Stoup went to the bad and Water bury pulled five men safely over the platter. With the score 6 to o when New Haven went to the bat in tho ninth, many of the fans left fol home, thoroughly disgusted with tho game and taking it for granted there was nothing to the contest but Wa terbury.
 A double play pulled off on each side in the first inning saved scoring In the fifth inning, Lauder, the olt big leaguer. the first man up to bat caught one of Stoup's benders ant placed the ball over the left fielt fence for a home run. This was tho only score of the game up to thu ninth and final inning when the bis side show, opened and plenty O amusement was afforded the fans.
 In the second inning O'Hagan hi a screaching long fly to left field tha Farmer Pleiss pulled down with on hand and, of course, was loudly ap plauded. Then, in the third inning Fitzpatrick hit fly to deep center mile from Zacher, but Zacher while on a dead run, caught the bal in one hand, pulling off a play evel more difficult than Pleiss. Outside of that both teams played sleepy bal and Stoup got by till the ninth witl prayer. He was hit hard all dur ing the game. His men behind hin did the work and pulled him out O several big holes.
 Sillery worked we'll till the ninth He allowed only four little hits ant | famed five men. But in the nintl the young fellow weakened dread fully and took the count. Here ] the score:"
