AND
The LADIES
Celebrate the Eleventh
Anniversary of Pyth-
ian Sisters.

Last night there was a great time
in the K. of P. Hail in this city. The
Pythian sisters gave an entertainment
for their Eleventh Anniversary and
invited their brother knights.
They had music, cards, fortune tell
ing, grab bags, ledgerdemain, fake
tent shows and all sorts of hanky
panky business that kept the room
for two hours in an uproar and gen.
eral jollity.
After the fun was over the guests
adjourned to the supper hall and
there were refreshments and speech
es for two hours.
Nearly a hundred guests sat down
and several OF the ladies made appro-
pirate speeches.
1t was one of the most enjoyable
affairs that the order has had for
many years and the Knights are figur
ing on a return party.
They work out the problem that if
they return the courtesy of the en-
tertainment it will be an easy thing.
The wives and sisters OF the Knights
will do all the work ana furnish and
cook the grub. 1t will work beauti-
fully and everybody will have a good
time.

Goldfield to reduce the rate of insur-
ance in this city from Is to 10 per
cent in the business district, and as

Attorney-General Stoddard has ap-
proved the decision of the District At
torney and interprets the statutes the
same as the adviser of the Commits
sioners and maintains that the former
recount was illegal, and in order to
make their decision legal they must
recount the votes according to law.
The Board stated this morning that
1t was their sworn duty to follow the
Jaw in all cases and to protect the
county funds to the best interests of
all parties. They desired to do what
was right and if possible save the
county the expense of another cleo
tion, which would cost in the neigh
borhood Of $1,000. They must also
follow the law as interpreted by the
District Attorney and in this case the
latter is backed by like decision of
the Attorney-General of the State.
Under these conditions another count
was ordered of the ballots and the
Board took recess until l o'clock
this afternoon when the recount was
commenced as ordered.
Considerable discussion is being in
dulged in to-day as to the action Of
the Commissioners and the decision
.. the District Attorney is given in
full so as to show the authority for
their action to day:
Carson City, Nevada, Nov. i3, 1905.
Hon. Board of County Commissioners,
Ormsby County, Nevada:
Gentlemen:-Having been informed
by your honorable Board that your
recount of the votes of the various
election precincts in Ormsby County
made Tuesday, November 10, 1908,
you cast aside ballots on account OF
legal defects when you might have
ascertained therefrom the person for
whom the elector intended to vote,
and being by you asked as to wheth-
er or not you had the right under the
law to make another recount in ac-
cordance with the statute to deter
mine whether Dennis Hurley or Jas.
A. Raycraft had received the greater
number of votes cast for the office OF
Member of the Assembly, l beg to ad-
yise you as follows:
1t Is imperative that you follow the
statute IN making your recount and
il you have not complied with it that
you rescind your former action and
proceed forthwith to make a recount
according to law. You have no right
to cast aside ballots because OF legal
defects If you can ascertain the intent
of the voter. Count all of hte ballots
cast in the various precincts OF Orms-
by County at the last election regard
less of alleged legal defects, If you
can determine from said ballots for
whom the elector intended to vote.
It is not for you to determine the le'
,, gality of the ballots cast but rather
| the number of ballots cast for Dennis
Hurley and Jas. A. Raycraft. have
consulted with the Attorney General
of the State with reference to this
inquiry and he fully concurs in my
opinion and authorizes me to SO
state to your Honorable Board.
Respectfully submitted,
e. e. ROBERTS. District Attornye.

COMMISSIONERS MAKE
RECOUNT TODAY
Upon Advice of Attorney General
and District Attorney and
Order Clerk to Issue Ger
tificate to RayCraft

A meeting Of the Board of County
Commissioners was held this morn
Ing to take action on the special elec-
tion to decide whether Raycraft or
Hurley Is entitled to a seat In the
Assembly OF the coming session of
the Legislature from Ormsby County
they having been declared a tie at a
recent recount by the Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners.
District Attorney Roberts, the legal
adviser of the Board, appeared before
them and instructed them to make
another recount OF the votes cast at
the last general election as the former
recoutn made by them was not In ac-
cordance to the statutes applying to
that procedure. 1t appears that when
the Board made the recount they used
their own Judgment, aided by the at
torneys Of Raycraft and Hurley, in
deciding whether a ballot should be
admitted to count or not and as a
result several OF the ballots rejected
by tn o judges and inspectors Of
eelection were counted while others
were rejected and thrown out by the
Board. According to the statutes this
Is illegal and makes the action of the
Board null and void. The Board OF
County Commissioners, when making
a recount of the votes, have no dis
eliminating powers whatsoever and
their duty as plainly set forth in the
statutes declare that they shall count
all ballots cast ut the general election,
considering only the intent of the
voter. II then the vote is tie their
duty Is to call special election and
let the people decide who shall take
the contested office.
A decision covering the points as
stated above was handed the Board
by the District Attorney, their legal
adviser. and whose advice they must
follow under the law.
Mr.. Hurley and his attorney. Sam
Piatt, objected to the recount. main
tanning that the action of the Board
at the last count was legal and that
they were not being given their just
rights by the Board making another
recount and counting all ballots, re-
gardless of their legality. They fur
ther claimed that the count having
been made and the decision OF the
Board being entered upon the minutes
that there was no legal authority CIV
ing them the right to make another
count OF the ballots, even though the
statutes provided differently than was
done at the other recount They fur
ther base their lain that II the con-
test would go to the Legislature that
Hurley would not be given a fair
chance. They further demand spec
ial election and have fled their objec-
tions to another count of the votes.
The Commissioners maintain that
1t Is their duty to follow the law in
the matter Of recount and II spec
ial election was called when the for
mer count was not legal that the
election, would be declared invalid,
the same being called from an illegal
count which declared the contestants
