IRON RIVER TICKET
Ii remained for this township to pull
some excitement as usual John Will

J. Robert Lyons and the first reports
received here were to the effect that
the vote on these two candidates was
q tie. Later came the news that Will
Jams was declared elected. Still later,
came the news that Lyons was elected
Then the news got confused, the only
real correct piece being that the vote
was quite close. All kinds of
stories were afoat but none of them
believed over here, those interested
being content TO wait for the later
version of the affair before forming
any opinion
Later news from the west side
brought the definite information that
Lyons was elected by margin of 30
votes and that the early evening talk
was all tempest in teapot.
