AUDITOR LOSES
IN THE CONTEST
Mercer County Officer Lost
Nomination Under Court
Decision.

Mandan. N. D., Oct. 12.-Chris'
Fuerst, defeated candidate for the Of
fee of county auditor in Mercer our
ty, is now the winner over Carl Semm-
Ter by 9 votes, as the result of a de-
cision handed down late yesterday aft
ernoon by Judge S. L.. Nuchols of the
district court.
Three days were spent in examin-
ing witnesses in the famous Mercer
the district court held at Stanton on
September %, 90, so. Nearly twenty
were called to the stand.
When the case was started right
after election, Attorney j. +. Sullt-
van. representing Fuerst, claimed that
three votes cast for his client had not
been counted. On the recount, both
Semmler and Fuerst were found to
have received 42S votes.
In the trial of the contest case.
Fuerst attacked seven votes for
Senmler, which did not have the in
itials of the inspectors. These were
held void by the court.
Semmler. through his attorney b.
W. Shaw af Mandan. and II. l.. Ber-
ry of Stanton, attacked five votes,
which had been cast by Indians. These
were held void, as the Indians had
voted in a precinct other than where
they made their residence.
Semmler also attacked 5 votes on
which the judge of election had en-
dorsed the inspectors initials. These
were held valid by the court.
Precincts 3 and 10 were served by
the same set of election officers. and
Semmler attempted to throw these
votes out. Judge Nuchols held that
while each precinct should have been
served by its own election officers, it
was not within his province to olsen
franchise the voters.
