.Majority of Two Votes Does

4 Foundation, j
Gcorgo S. Davis has definitely decided to
contest tho election of Y K. Haverstock
as treasurer of tho Independent school dis
trict of Council Bluffs, and will refuse to
turn over tho moneys In his possession until
compelled to do so by tho courts. The posi
tion that Treasurer Davis Intends 'to pursue
will necessitate Haverstock or the school
board taking quo warranto proceedings
against hlra and then this will bring up
tho question of tho legality of Haverstock's
election. As tho matter stands at present
Davis claims 'that he was elected by Boventy
nlno votes over Haverstock, while tho can
vass of tho votes as made by tho Board of
Education nt the meeting last Monday night
gives Haverstock a majority of two votes.
Davis claims a majority of soventy-ntno on
tho assumption that tho entlro voto of the
Fourth precinct cannot bo countod, as the
Judges failed to certify to tho vote on tho
returns. This, he claims, invalidates the
voto of that precinct. Tho precinct gave
Havorstock 382 nnd Davis 301 votes, so If
theso figures aro deducted from tho totals
each candidate recelvod It leaves Haver
etock with 1,088, as against 1,167 for Davis
a majority for tho present Incumbent of
the ofTlco of sevcnty-nlno votes.
It wan understood that Haverstock was
ready . to qualify yestorday afternoon and
fllo his bond, and a special meeting of he
Board of Education was ordered, but was
lator countermanded. Davis was on hand
ready to subscrlbo to tho oath of office and
with his bond already to fllo with tho board,
his bondsmen being tho name as on his
formor bond, who are tho officers and stock
holders of tho First National bank. Davis

OKORG E S. DAVIS.
At tho tlmo that the board canvassed tho
election returns, the fact that tho Judges
had failed to cortlfy to the veto In tho
Fourth precinct was not noticed and tho
vote was accepted as being correct and In
duo form. Tho omission of tho nocrfisnrv
Judges' certificate wns discovered by Attor
ney cnamners artor tho canvass and tho an
nouncement by tho board that on tho face
of tho returns W. E. Haverstock was the
duly olocted treasurer of the school dl
trlct. in each poll book Is a blank on
which tho Judges are required to certify to
the returns. In the Fourth precinct, how
ever, this was not filled In, although tho
Judges had made an attempt to certify to
tho returns on a blank provided for a re
turn of the excess ballots left over when
voting under tho Australian system.
It Is also claimed by Davis' nttornev thnt
other Irregularities exist In the returns
that In ono precinct, at least, there is noth
tng to show, as required by law. that tho
oath of offlco had been administered to the I
judges and clerks. This omission, it i
claimed, Is In Itself sufnclcnt to throw out '
tno vote in such precinct when, thin iP. i
regularity occurs.

was nn exact roversiil nf thn -.,11 . ,1.-
late Judge Woolson Wo th. case' had
oeen tried at the last term of court here.
A motion for a new trial had been submitted
nnd taken under advisement by Judge Wool-
son, who failed to pass uron It before hla
death. This necessitated n now trial.

formerly a well known restaurateur of this

Omaha and tho Swift Packing companies
with the following respective claims, $14753'
$452.47 and $144.42, filed n petition in tho
United States district court asking that
Itnndlett be declared a bankrupt. The po-
tltloners alleged that Randlctt hnd In inrt
committed nn net of bankruptcy by giving
a bill of sale of his restaurant and other
property to Alphonse Metrgcr for $4,000.
This, It wua asserted, was dono to prefer
me ciaira 01 '.Monger for $1,000 and that
of A. P. Langmado and the First National
bank of this city for $3,000.
After tho evidence had been submitted
yestorday morning the court Intimated that
unless the plaintiffs could amend their peti
tion no would De forced to Inke tho case
away from tho Jury and order a verdict for "le clly 'lection occurs next Monday. Flvo
tho defendant. J. J. Hess, ono of the at- aldermen are to bo eletted. Tho present
torneya fnr tho plaintiffs, asked permission col,"c" Is republican and It will remain so,
to go on the witness stand In an attempt to as tno voters aro well satisfied with tho ad
keep tho case before the Jury, Judgo ministration of Mayor Skinner and havo
Shlras told him If he did so he would havo
to withdraw from the case as counsel.
Dillon Ross, who had boen associated with
Hess In the case, had already gone on tho
witness staud and under tho ruling nt Judgv
Shlras bad beeil compelled to withdraw as
attorney. Thus, If Hess had elected to go
on the stand, the plaintiffs would have been
left without counsel and Hess decided not
to do so. Counsel for the plaintiffs then
attempted to amend their petition, but tho
defense objected on the ground that the
four months tlmo limit under tho law
since the starting of the proceedings hud
clapsed and that tho amendment practically
set up a new cnuso of action, Judgo
Shlras upheld tho contention of the de
fense and refused the filing of tho amend
ment. Ho then took the case away from
tho Jury and ordered a verdict for Hand
lott. In making this order Judge Shims said
thnt tho evidence was Insufficient to sus
tain the contention that tho sale had been
made to profer certain creditors. Ho said
It was only natural thnt under the cir
cumstances as they then existed that Hand
lett should bo anxious to dispose of his
business nnd that It was only natural that
ho should sell to Metzger, who had formerly
been In tho business and was anxious to
ombark In It again. If any preference had
been shown to creditors, tho court said
further, it may havo been in the disposition
of the proceeds of the snle, but this- had
not been attacked by tho plaintiffs nnd
therefore did not enter Into the case at bar.
Tho completion of this case concluded the
business of tho term nnd Judgo Shlras and
other federal ofllcers left last evening for
