RULE DOES NOT EXIST

The Miner Man looked up q little focal history this morning for the purpose of satisfying himself as to whether it has been the custom of the Councils of ketchikan to erect the nigh man mayor. We find that at the election in the Council in 1901, when after two or three ballots Gov. Swineford was elected mayor, there were two men on the election ticket who received more votes than he nau. In 1903 Martin, who was elected mayor, had received log votes to Ireland s 119. In 1905 J. F. Smith received 162 votes, but George lrv. ing, who received 159 was. elected mayor In 1907 Hunt received 125 votes while Torrey got IT, still the former was elected mayor. Since that time, J. Pittenger has been mayor three times, but had the high voUe 1ut once out of the three. Thus 1t
 $, that history repeats itself in the election of J. R. Beegle over M. J. .Ieneghan.

THIEVES GET CLOTHING, SUIT
i CASES, ETC., AND MAKE
THEIR ESCAPE

Sunday night burglars entered the
Chas. Beckman clothing store on
Broadway east and secured a quantity
Of clothing, furnishings, suit cases and
shoes. They made good their escape,
no trace Of them yet having been
found.
The thieves gained entrance to the
store by breaking pane in window
in the back Of the building and by
crawling through the bars. They took
two blue serge suits, three suits of
underwear, four suit cases, one pair of
button shoes and one pair Of tan lace
shoes, and three shirts. The rear door
was unbolted and it is believed that
this door was opened as means of
exit or to let in accomplices. Mr..
Beckman stated that he was in the
store Sunday afternoon and was GER

covered the next morning, when he
opened the store.
Mr.. Beckman suspects three Syrians,
who were in the store Saturday look

out without buying. The police of the
neighboring towns have been notified
to be on the lookout for the thieves.
