The Election Contests.

near the peJltlOIl Ol ,. II. NOON
ESQ, in contest of the election of
w. A. O'Connor Esq, to the office of
district attorney on the same day he
had called already a special term
to try the Gildea- Chatham contest
involving the office of justice of the
peace in Nogales precinct, viz:
Tuesday of next week, December
29th,s and as the( appointed time
draws on there is no little specula-
ton as to results, while many citi-
zens have taken out their pencils
and are trying to cipher out posi-
bilities.
Some of the points involved are
alleged irregularities in the conduct
of the election in some Of the pre-
cincts. If those irregularities are
taken into court, established and
the votes in those precincts thrown
ont it will make differences in the
results in some of the other offices.
Whether the Court will rule dis
qualification OF all the voters in a
precinct on account of some slight
oversight, neglect or breach of the
law is a question; but practically
that is the ground upon which
rests the petition and contest of
Judge Gildea. His petition asserts
that the election board in Nogales
precinct committed a breach of the
law in recounting the ballots after
they had been strung. 1t will be
recollected that in the count of the
votes Gildea and Chatham were a
tie. The point was raised that one
straight republican ticket had been
counted for Gildea in the tally in
stead of for Chatham. After con-
siderable discussion the board went
over the ballots on the string and
made new tally, with the result
that Chatham's election was re-
turned by majority of two. Had
there not been the recount of the
votes on justice of the peace there
would have been no election, Judge
Gildea being in the Office already
would have held over, and TO get
the office Mr.. Chatham would have
had to resort TO contest. Now,
then, if in recounting the vote for
Justice in Nogales precinct, in vio-
lation OF the law, the election board
committed an act that causes re-
lection of the vote of the precinct,
there will be no election still, and
under the law Judge Gildea will
hold over until his successor is
elected and qualified; for nowhere
in the law of Arizona is there a
provision for special elections in
such cases, nor in cases OF ties.
And it would seem that is the only
point upon which Judge Gildea
will have a chance 20 succeed in
his contest. A recount only will
leave him still in a minority by
two votes.
Another point on which Judge
Gildea rests his case is that at the
close Of the count there were taken
into consideration six votes that
had some kinds of marks, and
which Inspector Whiteside claim
should be rejected. Had they been
rejected the vote would have been
tie. Should the court take the
view that those six votes should be
rejected the result will be a tie,
and Judge Gildea will hold over
for two years, because no successor
will have been elected and quail
flied.
Should Nogales precinct be

Noon. That would elect Noon by
nine majority without his having
to 90 into the subject OF illegal
votes In this precinct. But per
contra IL Is said Tubac can be
thrown out on some irregularity In
the election there, which would
bring Moons apparent majority
down to one. And it is thought
that Judge O'Connor expects to
show one or two more votes to be
counted in his favor. But herein
comes now an assertion that Lo-
chiel precinct can be thrown out
also on an irregularity over there,
in that the polls were not opened
on election day until $50 or 10
o'clock, while the law states that
they must be opened not later than
s o'clock. Should Lochie1 be
thrown out Judge O'Connor would
lose ten votes and Noon five, which
would put Mr.. Noon ahead again.
All this is speculation, but it is
interesting all the same. If the
three precincts named are thrown
out Judge O'Connor will lose 217
votes and Mr.. Noon will lose 209.
They have 349 and 341 respectively
Making the deductions the remain
ing precincts will show 1875 votes
for O'Connor and 1872 for Noon. SO
there is one of the possibilities in
that contest.
Should the three precincts named
be thrown out there would be some
other changes. Instead of losing
the county by twenty votes Atkin-
son would prevail over Finley by
one vote. Their totals were 317
and 337 respectively. In the three
precincts named Atkinson received
139 votes and Finley 214. Rejec-
ton of the precincts would leave
their figures 124 and 1913 respect
lively. AS Atkinson had a small
majority in Pima county that
would give him right to the seat;
a right, however that the demo-
cratic council would not recognize.
While rejection of the three pre-
cincts named would not change the
election of the supervisors, it would
change the status OF the two elected
and give Henderson the long term.
Without the three precincts Doherty
would have 101 votes, Parker 1877,
Henderson l5l and Burgoon 104.
Whether any of the changes out
lined will be made will depend
upon the view Of the Court upon
the effect of the irregularities cited
upon the validity of the election in
the precincts named. Ii the votes
of those precincts are not rejected
the main question will be that OF
alleged illegal votes.

Death
Large Gray Wolf Pounces Upon

II for Dog

A large and ferocious looking gray
and black wolf was killed on the farm
of Ludwig Frier of Sibley Butte last
week The animal was shot twice by
the farmer, large loads of buckshot
tearing it's way through the hide.
About SO rods from the Frier dwell
ing the little child of the farmer was
playing. The wolf crept up and
bounced on small white puppy which
belonged to the Friers. The child ran
to the wolf, trying to stroke its fur
At this opportune and crucial moment
Mr.. Frier happened to look out of the
window, and noting what was trans
piring, reached for his shotgun and
with careful aim dispatched the wolf
without harming the child, whose es.
cape is considered miraculous.
Mr.. Frier was in the city yesterday
afternoon, having with him the vol
hide, Of which he is very proud.

City Council Has Authorized

fied...COW and Milk In
Spection Ordinance

A special election for the purpose
of submitting the proposition of
bonding Bismarck in the sum of 500,
900 for the erection of city hall
will be held May A. This was de-
cided on at the adjourned meeting
of the city council Wednesday night.
The measure was passed by vote
of nine to two, Messrs. Taylor and
Wilcox voting nay.
The resolution was framed after
speech by Alderman e. G.. Patter-
son, wherein he stated that although
he was personally against the meas
ure, yet he had been accused for
political reasons by some "canting
hypocrites,' of not having the city's
welfare at heart. Therefore he in
troduced the resolution to provide
for special election to consider the
bonding, but he would be violently
against it. He didn't propose to
pull any chestnuts out of the fire,
for anyone, he said.
After the meeting had been called
to order by Mayor Smyth, all the
aldermen present, committee Of
three, consisting of Aldermen Stat
terry, Fisher and Marquette were ap-
| pointed to canvass the vote Of Mon
| days election, and the council took

They came to order again in about
twenty minutes when the report of
the committee was read and adopted
and Mayor Smyth then instructed
the city auditor to issue certificates
Of election to the newly elected
members of the council.
The sealed bids for laying cement
sidewalks in various places about the
city were opened and after they
were read, were referred to the COM
mittee on sidewalks and grading,
with instructions to report at the
next meeting, which is April Fl.
! F. H. Register, F. E. Young and

the mayor as a committee to revise

ments were confirmed.

WILL PAY $4,000
SCHOOL BOARD DECIDES TO PAY
BONDS TO THAT AMOUNT AND
REFUND $4,000 AT q PER CENT.

The board of education met in reg
ular session at the Will school Tues
day night. Miss Struble was given a
leave of absence for the balance of
the year beginning April "a. Her
work is in such shape that the bal
ance of it can be taken care of with
out hiring a substitute.
The $4,000 fire insurance policy
on the high school building was re-
newed, giving S. M. Pye & Co. ST.
900 and P. E. Byrne $4,000.
Chris. Hess resigned as janitor at
the high school building to take eff
feet April Is, and Angus Mcdonald
was elected to fill his position.
All applications for teachers posi-
lions were turned over to the COM
mittee on teachers to make a report
at an adjourned meeting next Mon
day night.
The refunding of the $4,000
worth of bonds, which are held by
the state are due and at the next
meeting $4,000 will probably be
paid and the balance refunded at 4
per cent. The meeting adjourned
until Monday night.

The living prototypes of Happy
Hooligan' and Gloomy Gus are at
present residing with Sheriff Duncan
McGillis, and the chances are that
they have formed such warm friend
ship for Dune that they will prolong
their stay for ten days, at least that
is what Judge Fort says, and Judge
Fort knows in this case.
The men were busily engaged in re.
plenishing the MlcGillis woodpile all
day yesterday, and by evening had
worked up a respectable appetite.
They are interesting customers in a
way, and for anyone who is curio
hunter the time taken in walking up
to the Jail and inspecting the two
tramps would be we'll spent
The men were apprehended by the
sleuths Of the law about $50 o'clock
Tuesday evening near the corner Of
Fifth and Rosser streets. 1t seems
that since their advent into the city
they have been begging from door to
door and living on handouts They
scared several women badly in the
residence portion, and at last were re-
ported to the officers.
Their names are Charles Vogglie
and George Mann, but George looks
anything but what the name would i'm
ply. They tell tale of having left
Butte, Mont, about the middle Of Jan
uary, and having been on the road
ever since. They have no visible
means of support and are couple Of

INSTEAD OF MAKING AN AP-

TIsES FOR APPLICANTS.

Chief of Police Frank Carr has re-
signed his position, and as yet his sue
cessor has not been appointed-and
probably won't be until results are OBJ
tanned from the advertisement of the
mayor, which will be found elsewhere
in this issue of the Tribune. In this
advertisement the mayor calls for ap-
plicants for the job whose age must
be between Is and so years, with ex-
perience in police or military discip-
line. He says only Endorsements as to
character, ability and efficiency will
be considered, so it is evident the
mayor does not set great store by the
man with pull
1t is believed this is the first time a
chief of police was ever chosen in this
way, and the novelty of the PROPOSE
ton is quite refreshing

Thank you very much she said;
very acceptable, assure YOU This

to be thanked so generously.
IF it would be polite for me to indi-

MISSOURI SLOPE
HAS fine PROSPECTS
PREVAILING CONDITIONS POINT
TO PROSPEROUS YEAR, WITH
HUGE CROP AS THE RESULT OF
LABORS.

That the farming vicinity of Bis
marck will enjoy unlimited prosperity
this season and reap a real bumper
crop as the fruits of its labors is the
conclusion to be deduced from the
opinions of the several implement deal
ers and farmers about the city. The
dealers all say that the sale of farming
implements thus far has been unpre-
cedented, and goes ahead of any other
year within the immediate past. With
the elegant spring weather that is now
being dished out by Weatherman Rob-
erts, it is safe to predict that the
whole of North Dakota will witness a
bumper crop.

Brazil's Forests Going.

The older countries having been
stripped of their forests, in many cases
to the danger-point, search is now be-
ing made for valuable woods in newer
lands. Among these is Brazil, which
is known to possess enormous wealth
of this kind. Already the great Bra.
lillian forests are beginning to feed the
sawmills which are rapidly being erect
ed. 1t has been remarked that not.
outstanding the vast increase in the
use of metal all over the world, the
demand for wood is still growing.
Many of the forests of Brazil are yet
90 far from the railroads that they
remain in comparative safety, but
others are feeling the ak. An in
creasing quantity of timber finds it's
way from Rio de Janeiro, where it is
used for packing-boxes, match man
ufacture, and many other purposes,
and note of alarm is sounded by
those who have learned what it
means to strip a country Of its forest
resources without providing for their
renewal.

Why We Sleep.

fit were always daylight we should
never sleep. So says scientist.
There is no particular reason why we
or any other animals should rest on
an average eight or nine hours day.
The period of rest has been deter
mined by the fact that eight hours is
the average time when there is a lack
of sufficient light to enable US to move
about in comfort.
This most fundamental distin ction
between day and night is wholly rel
alive to the sense of sight. 1t only
affects those types of life which have
developed eyes.
Plants being dependent for their
growth upon the action of rays of
sunlight which fall upon their leaves,
have a wide distinction between day
and night functions. They eat and
digest in the light and grow during
the hours of darkness.
The lowest forms of animal life
the sightless denizens of ocean depths
do not rest at regular intervals. They
prowl around necessarily, seeking prey
by the sense of touch alone. When
they rest tits at irregular periods. In
other words, they have no distinct
periodicity of their own.
But as soon as soon as eyes are de-.
veloped. and in proportion of this de-
velopment, animals begin to divide
their time into two main porsions-a
waking and a sleeping time. While
there is light they perform all motive
functions. When darkness comes
they retire to nest or lair to rest.
