ELECTION ROW
IN SOUTH IDAHO
Republicans Claim Irregulari-
ties Enough in Southeast to
Elect Davis-Case Will Be
Taken Into Court.


All kinds of election stories are
coming out of Boise these days
and if most of them are to be be-
lieved there is liable to be a lively
contest down in the south end of
the state before anumber of the
state and county candidates are
seated. Most of the reports have
to do with alleged election irreg-
ularities in southern and south
eastern counties, and it is claimed
by the republicans that when
matters are finally sifted in one
or two counties Davis will have
been elected over Alexander and
at least one entire republican
county ticket will have been
elected.
The first report came from
Bonneville county, in the south
east, where it is said the county
commissioners threw out 921
votes in two precincts when the
canvass of the returns was made.
The commissioners tried to get
the judges of election to recount
the ballots in another precinct
but the judges refused. 1t is
claimed that the voters in many
instances marked a cross in the
large circle at the top of the re-
publican ticket, thereby voting a
straight ticket, and then pro-
ceeded to maks a cross after the
name of Alexander and other
candidates on the democratic
ticket but failing to mark out the
names of the republican candi-
dates they did not care to vote
for. The election judges appar-
emily held that the intent of the
voter was plain and counted the
ballots for such democratic can
didates as were voted for. The
county commissioners undoubted-
ly held an opposite view and
caused a recount in a couple of
precincts, with the above result.
the news from Bonneville
county brought up claims of ir-
regularities in other counties
and it was reported that investi-
cations would also be held in
Ada, Power, Canyon and other
counties.
Be this as it may, the news
stories point more toward few
Irregularities than to any intent
at fraudulent voting and It is
quite probable that when matters
quiet down the irregularities will
prove much less than at first re-
ported.
In any event the case presents
a nice legal complication and if
carried into court the matter
may take months to decide.
Another story coming from
Boise is to the effect that James
E. Pinnock, one of the democra-
tic presidential electors, is not
qualified to act by reason of hav-
ing also been a candidate for the
state legislature from Custer
county and having been elected.
and this would give his vote to
the nearest republican elector,
thereby giving three of Idaho's
electoral votes to Wilson and one
to Hughes.

DEATH CLAIMS
JOHN ROTHLISBERG
Prominent Young Stock Man
Stricken and Dies Within
"a HourS---Operation Fails
to Save Life.

In the midst of life we are in
death" :"
The uncertainty of life and the
certainty Of death, as expressed
in the above quotation, was per-
haps never more fully brought
home to us than through the sud-
den death of Johnnie Rothlisberg
in our city Wednesday afternoon.
Going about his business affairs
one day as full of life as one
could wish to be, he lay cold in
Deaths embrace scarcely twenty
four hours later, and his family
and friends could hardly realize
he had been called from their
midst.
John Rothlisberg has been en-
gagged in buying stock for Car
steen & Co. of Tacoma, for the
past two or three years and has
been in the habitiSof coming to
Cottonwood almost every week to
receive and ship stock from this
station. He came over as usual
on Monday and received several
cars of cattle from Platt & Jones,
of the Joseph country, and
shipped the cattle out on Tuesday
mornings train. He completed
the mornings work by settling
up for the stock purchased and
seemed to be in the best of
health and spirits. In the after
noon he was sitting in the hotel
lobby figuring over his accounts
when he was suddenly stricken
with severe cramps in the stom-
ach and bowels. Physicians we've
at once summoned but all were
out of town at the time. DR..
Turner was the first to return
and did all in his power to check
the attack. The cramps returned
however, during the night, and
it was realized that an operation
was the only chance for saving
the patients life and even this
was slight. DR.. Slusser was sum-
moned from Grangeville and the
operation was performed shortly
before noon, when it was found
that the stomach was ruptured
and all hopes were at an end.
Death came at 1:O5 o'clock in the
afternoon.
John Rothlisberg was born in
Texas and was 33 years of age
at the time of his death. He
came to Idaho county with his
parents when child and has
spent most of his life here. After
finishing school he followed farm
ing for several years, then en-
gagged in the meat business at the
county seat, and in recent years
has been buying stock. He leaves
a wife and two children, a
mother, several brothers and
many friends to mourn his un-
timely loss. He was a quiet, un-
assuming young man of fine char
acter and excellent business char
acteristics, and will be deeply
mourned by his large circle of
friends over the county.
The remains were prepared for
burial at the Nau undertaking
parlors and were shipped to
Grangeville Wednesday evening
where they are being held until
the mother and a brother can ar
rive from Salt Lake City. The
funeral will probably be held Sun
day afternoon.
The Chronicle joins with friends
of the bereaved family in extend
ing to them sincere sympathy in
their great loss.

AUBURN SLATED FOR DEFEAT AT HANDS OF ATHLETIC CLUB FIVE
Saterfield to Make Debut With Locals for First Time in Several
 Years

Birmingham Athletic club will meet Au- burn tonight on the locals floor, starting at 8:30 o'clock. The result of the game will not be the chief issue as in other games on the locals schedule this season.
 Coach Brumage has a line of new ma terial that he will set in motion tonight for the first time this season in prepara- tory for the Atlanta game on Februa5y ,, which will be the locals hardest game of the season.
 Harry Saterfield, one of the best basket ball players in the south few years ago, will again don the B. A. c. colors after an absence of a few years and help the locals develop into a winning form for the Atlanta fracas. Saterfield has been out of the city and although slightly out of form, Coach Brumage ex- poets to see the former wonder get into good condition.
 Saterfield will be used at either guard, forwar dor center. Coach Brumage is satisfied that Harry can fill any position well. The question as to where he will play will not be disputed provided the fans see the veteran in action.
 Guy Whorton is also lending his efforts to the club five in their practice and although he may not play tonight, the benefits of his appearance in the prac- tice is of great value to the varsity five.
 Coach Brumage has three good guards, on whom he can rely to deliver the goods. Gillian and Seals are the first two get ting the jump on Bob Barker. Barker demonstrated in the Atlanta game that he had the stuff to make him a great guard. The forwards, Brazelton and Captain McGowan, are fully known, need ing no introduction.
 Coach Brumage will probably use all of his first and second string men in to- nights game. Although the game will be little more than a practice affair for the locals, basketball fans will be given 8 final opportunity of seeing the team in action before the fatal battle in At lanta.
 The usual dance will follow the game. Coach Pritchard will referee the game.
