officers who had charge OF the ballot
box In Rock Bluffs precinct had gone at
noon from the house where the election
was held 20 a house q mile away to eat
dinner and had taken the ballot box
with them. The law said that the ballot
box should be in sight OF the voters on
election day from o'clock IN the morn
ms until o'clock at night The county
clerk and the men who helped him 10
canvass the votes at Piattsmouth threw
out ell the votes from Rock Bluffs pre-
