Rep Yesterday the voters of this city, in one of the most hotly contested city elections in years, again called John P. Sattler to the position of mayor of the city when the count of the ballots disclosed a plurality of 73 for the former mayor over C. A. Johnson, present mayor who was running for re-cdection by petition. It. L. McCarty, the republican nomi nee for the office, was third in the race and his interests were largely lost sight of by the friends of the other two candidates as the last days increased the Interest of the strag gle. Both Mr. Sattler and Mr. John son carried their own home wards, the second ward giving Sattler 104 ing up seventy-nine for Johnson. In . 1 . . - . I . I . . . V, : ii the flr?t and third Mr. Sattler receiv ed majorities of 42 and 16 which added to the huge vote of his home rolled up too great a lead to be over come in the fourth and fifth. In the fifth Johnson received but ten ma jority. The city treasurer contest was the outstanding surprise of the city cam paign and one that demonstrated that the voters were using their own judgment in the voting and not many straight tickets being cast. Mr. Hartford was carried on both the democratic- and republican tickets an! ."r. hirxl'.am was runnine by petition with the endorsement of the snop organizations. ine majority of Mr. Kirkhari will be 20 face of the unofficial vote. on the The city clerk race was one that did not develop any great interest as the two candidates. John Cloidt and Guy Morgan, had made no ef fort to secure the office and. it is stated, voted for each other in the hope of escaping the honors of the oositinn. As it was Mr. Cloidt won by the majority of 15S. The board of eduaction ticket was unopposed and tbe ballots merely ratified the actions of the city c a ventions and named Searl S. Davis, Mrs. Grace V. Chase. Frank A. Cloidt and Dr. F. L. Cummins for these offices. I Police Judge Weber was one of the candidates that did not have any op position for his return and will be on the job as usual. In the firsr ward for city council man. I.ouis W. Lorrnz was the win ner by 30 votes over E. C Harris and in this ward was cast the heav iest woman's vote in the city as 140 ladies voted at the election and as sisted in swelling the total vote. The 5f! nnd ward proved that J. H. McMaken had retained his hold on the voters of the ward as he receiv ed a majority of 5 5 over Michael Ba jeck. the democratic nominee and for a time it seemed that the coun cilman candidate would reach the large majority of Sattler but the vote for Bajeck was largely swelled by the many votes from the western portion of the ward. A three-cornrred fight in the third ward saved the day for Peter Grado ville. the democratic candidate, who was elected by 55 votes over George Petring. republican candidate, with Frank Elliott having his name writ ten in by friends to the number of 70. Mr. Elliott was unaware of the boom that had been turned loose on him until he returned home late in the aftornoon and then was unable to undo the work of his friends. In Tbn fourth ward .Tolm P 'RHt- tain, the veteran member of the pres- ent council, who has weathered sev eral strenuous campaigns, came thru wih flying colors, receiving a ma jority of 28 over Frank Gobelman, who. however, made no serious cam paign for the office and was at work at the time at the court house. The election of Mr Brittain, who largely used the record of his work on the cemetery in asking for re-electio. points to his return to that position. For the short term in the fourth ward. Charley Deitz. foreman of the Burlington lumber yard, was the winner over Elmer Webb by a plur ality of 62. j Councilman L. E. Vroman was the winner by 15 votes over Julius Pitz and will retain his position in the council in the future. The vote in the fifth ward was not as large as first anticipated as the bad roads made the traveling very difficult for cars. HERE'S HOW THEY VOTED Mayor John P. Sattler. Dem., 604. major ity. 73. C.

ENTER THRUE CELLAR WINDOW Work Thought to be that of Some Amateur Gang as No Large Amount of Stuff Taken. From Tuesday's Dall Another of the stores of Cass coun ty has been added to the long list of those that have in the past few years suffered from the raids of rob bers and this time it is the W. F. Diera store at Louisville that was the scene of the activities of the night raiders. The robbery occurred some time durl the nI ht and a8 there iB no night watchman or policeman on du- ty the robbery was not revealed un til tihs morning when the employes of the store arrived to open up the store for business and discovered in the store room the traces of the vis itation of the unwelcome caller or callers. The entrance to the building was secured by forcing a window in the rear of the store building that gave access to tbe celar of the store and here the robbers had made their way up the stairs leading into the rear of the store room proper and forced the door thereby gaining en trance. There wag apparently only a small amount of merchandise taken which will probably run from $50 to S100 in value although a close check has not as yet been made by the owner of the store on the stock. From the character of the mer chahdise taken and the small amount U thought that this burglary was work of a local novice or hobues as the amount taken did not bear tbe familiar handmarks of the gangs of store bandits that have infested this portion of Nebraska for the past six years. The persons robbing the Louisville stores are taking a long chance as a few years ago the citizens there or ganized a protection committee that settled with rifles and shotguns the ambitions of several store bandits on their visit to that place and this is he first robbery there in a long time and will n -bly lead to the (local law enfor . t again getting active and wat. hn for another vis- it of the robbers or robber.
