DAVIS WANTS TO KNOW WHY

K'lllt' f the Cliilm of the Man

Another kink wns taken yesterday In tho
school treasurer contest by Georgo S.
Davis commencing quo warranto proceedings
in tho superior court to oust Haverstock
from tho office, to which ho was declared
legally elected, and to whom n certificate
of olectlon has been given by tho Board
of Education. This action wa resorted to
by Davis In an attempt to forestall tho
hearing In the mandamus proceedings
brought by Haverstock to compel Davis to
turn over to him the funds of tho school
district, now in his possession, had before
Judgo Smith In tho district court yesterday
afternoon.
In his complaint In tho quo warranto pro
ceedings Davis alleges that Haverstock Is
unlawfully holding, attempting to hold and
tako possession of tho office of treasurer of
tho Independent School district ot Council
Bluffs; that Haverstock claims to have been
elected by reason of his having received n
majority of tho votes cast at tho regular
school election; that in his claims to such
offlco Haverstock rellts upon "supposed"
returns from the voting districts, nnd upon
a "supposed" certificate of election issued
thereon, but that in fact at mid election he,
Goorge S. Davis, received a majority ot all
tho votes cast; that tho supposed returns of
tho election were false and fraudulent and
did not represent a correct count of tho
legal votes cast, and that the returns were
not mado In the manner nnd form prescribed
by law, nnd In fact wcro not Huch as tho
Board of Education could legally recognize
and consider; that had the count nnd can
vans of the votes been properly and legally
mado he, "Davis, would havo been shown and
declared to havo received a majority of tho
votes cast and tho certificate of election
would havo been granted to blm In place of
Haverstock.
IIiivIn Specifies 1 1 h Assertion.
Tho canvass by tho Board of Education
showed that Haverstock had been elected
by two votes, but Davis claims wholcsalo
Irregularities In the manner tho election was
conducted and in tho returns. Ho claims
that In tho First precinct tho Judges of
election permitted votes to bo cant against
him by persons not legally entitled to voto
and that they refused to count legal votes
cast for him. Ho also claims that tho re
turns from this precinct were not mado out
and certified as the law provides. The samo
allegations are mado as to tho other four
voting precincts of tho district.
Going Into moro detail, Davis claims that
Max Baumelstcr and Oscar A. Baumelster
wcro refused the privilege of voting In tho
First precinct, and had thoy been permitted
to do so, they would have cast their bal
lots for htm. In tho Second precinct, he
claims1 Thomas Topllss was likewise denied
tho privilege of .voting, and that in this
precinct ho alleges ono voter put In a
double ballot, both of which were countod
for Haverstock. Ho further alleges that tho
Judges In this precinct, after tho polls had
been closed, left tho ballot boxes and tally
sheets for half an hour In charge of a per
son neither a clerk nor a Judge.
In tho Third precinct ho nlleges that J,
P. Alexander and W. M. Green wcro per
mitted to voto nfter tho polls had been
closed and bo has reason to believe that
they cast their ballots for his opponent.
Ho claims also that In this precinct Attor
ney Emmet TInloy voted In tho right box
for him (Davis) and in the "site" box for
Haverstock and that the voto for tho latter
was counted by tho Judges.
Lost Three ltlnht There.
Ho claims that In tho Fourth precinct sev
eral persons appeared and dCBlred to vote,
but owing to the absence of a part of tho
election board thoy were denied tho privi
lege; that In this precinct a double ballot
was cast for Haverstock and both ballots
were counted.- Ho further alleges t1"U ono
Ryan was denied tho privilege to vote In
this precinct although ho hud tho legal right
to do so, and had ho been permitted ho
would havo cast his voto for him. Davis
ulso makes a strong claim that tho returns
from this precinct wero not signed by tho
Judges and clerks when returned to tho
board and therefore the votes cast In this
precinct could not bo legally counted.
Davis further alleges that tho exi6tcnco
of a box to placo the site ballots In created
misunderstanding nnd confusion In all of
tho precincts nnd provented tho freo oxer
clso of elective franchlso among tho voters
and made the election null, void and of -no
effect nnd tho returns thereunder nnd tho
ctrtlllcnto of no forco nnd effect whatever.
At tho hearing of tho mandamus proceed
ings before Judge Smith In tho district
court the contention of tho plaintiff, Hnver
stock, was that by reason of tho declaration
of the canvassing board and tho Issuance
to him of a cortlftcato of election ho had a
prima faclo right to tho office and that ho
was entitled to have the funds of the school
district now In tho hands of tho former
treasurer turned over to him.
Conerriiliiir the Fornix,
On tho other hand, counsel for Davis con
tended that Havcretock should havo brought
quo warranto proceedings to oust Davis and
that by such action It could havo been de
termined which of tho two was entitled to
hnld tho office. They also contended that
Davis had been legally elected and not
Haverstock, deBplto tho findings of tho can
vassing board. They also claim that Haver
stock had failed to tustaln any damage by
reason of Davis' failure to turn ovor tho
funds to him, .jxs tho offico of treasurer Is
altogether and ontlroly without salary and
that tho duties to bo performed thereunder
are without compensation under tho law;
that they aro entirely gratuitous upon tho
part of tho treasurer, and that Haverstock
could havo suffored no damage., oven though
ho was entitled to tho offico and tho funds
and did not receive thorn.
Judge Smith took his decision under ad
visement. Mr. Klley 5-cont cigar.

Would You Believe?
This has been the most remarkable season
in the history of our carpet selling experience.
We figured that we would do a large busness
this spring and prepared for it by an unusual
ly large stock: Our most sanguine hopes have
been reached and now, before the season is
half over, we had to purchase another lot.
Therefore Mr. Gorham went east and we just
received
A MESSAGE
Stating that he had purchased an elegant and
complete line of carpets and drapery which
will be on sale next week. Those who have
been disappointed in not finding just what
they wanted in other stores, can surely be
pleased here. Therefore, come early and have
the best pick.
