cation with headquarters In this city, will

Earl Nizert, the negro who broke into the
room Of a white woman In this city and
emp an assault was today sentenced
to the maximum term of twenty years in
the penitentiary by Judge McHenry of the
district court. Nizert on the trial was
identified by the authorities of Illinois as
one Richard White, who was one Of the
negroes who stirred up the trouble in
Springfield, Ill. 1t took the jury but four
minutes to reach a verdict. At the time of
the assault the screams of the young
woman aroused the neighpors and Nizert
was captured as he ran from the house.
Voting Machines No Good.
Secretary OF State w. c. Hayward today
informed the county suditor Of Polk
I county that the new voting machines which
II was expected to use this year cannot be
used. The city and county together have
ested something like S35,G0O in the ma
= IS. One of the reasons given by the
.etary of state is that the machines
provide for but forty candidates, while in
most of the precincts of Polk county there
further questions whether the machine Is
in accordance with law, because 1t is neces-
sary fdor the voter to vote a straight
ticket first and then do the scratching by
changing the levers afterward. He has
promised to ask the attorney general for a
further opinion, but has Instructed Auditor
Burnett to have ballots printed as for
merly.
