Architect Berllna-hof reported to the
board that the building had not come up to
the specifications in that the color of tha
atone waa not uniform and some of the
bloe.ka were not In line with the majority
of the blocka. After a long debate In
which Mortennen and McRrlcn were not In
favor of accepting the building and Gregg
loading the debate to accept It, Mortcnsen
finally moved the compromise of holding
out $500 from the contractor. Brrllnghof
reported the contractors had done their
work all right and the blame ahould be
placed on the Kearney company which
manufactured the atone.

Sheriffs Dislikes Hollas.
The sheriffs out in the state are object
ing seriously to the ruling of the attorney

get, aa ha waa at the mercy of the auditor.
He aald in hla letter he had agreed to
serve summons for the railroad company

he thought, he earned all the transporta
tion he received. Last year he said he had
served summons, wlch, if paid for, would
have netted him $87 of the railroads'
nutritious.

CANVASS BOARD CENTER OF EXCITEMENT
In Midst of Turmoil Fink Supplants
Heanluars Comltteeaien Getting
Certificates, Only Tangible
Result of Day.
The official canvassing board of the city
primary returns was a storm center all
day yesterday and quit late In the after
noon without completing the canvass and
with a bright outlook for more trouble to
day. Affidavits demanding- recounts of the
votes on the offices of mayor and city clerk
were filed by W. J. Broatch, V. H. Elbourn
and W. E. Btockham. Protests to doing
anything of the kind came from all quarters
and In the midst of the turmoil the ques
tion was raised whether A. H. Hennings
had any right to be a member of the board
as city treasurer. City Attorney Breen
ruled that County Treasurer Pink had be
come city treasurer by virtue of the char
ter and the late supreme court decision on
the subject. Whereupon Mr. Hennings va
cated and Mr. Fink took hla place on the
board at 1:20 o'clock. He had not wit
nessed any of the verification of the poll
book returns and was considerably at sea.
The board was surrounded by a mob of
something like seventy-five politicians and
lawyers and Mr. Fink begged for time.
About 4 o'clock the city attorney said he
wanted until morning to form an opinion
aa to whether the affiants had to specify
where they thought the count was wrong
and the board adjourned until this morn
ing at t o'clock.
OrtlAcates to Committer.
Documents piled up on the board like
leaves under an oak tree In the fall and
the only tangible thing accompliehed dur
ing the day was the certification to the
election of the new city committeemen in
order that that body might be called to
gether and organise for the campaign. This
was done late In the day.
The only real contest projected was that
between Elbourn and Greenleaf for the re
publican nomination for city clerk. The
returns show Greenleaf, the Fontanelle can
didate, 15? votes to the good. Despite Kl
bourn's protest he would not start a con
test, this Is preclsey what happened. Sat
urday afternoon he said he heard a number
of reports that votes cast for him had not
been counted in for him In certain pre
cincts In the First, Second and Tenth
wards. Early Monday morning W. E.
Btockham. who was the low man In the
three-cornered clerkship contest, filed an
affidavit, declaring Ills belief there was er
ror In the counting of the ballots for the
office and demanding a recount on the
strength of this declaration in the language
of the Dodge primary law which provides
that In case of a tie vote or the filing ofin
affidavit by an interested candidate de
manding recount and expressing a belief
of fraud or error, the ballots shall be
checked up and the result decreed final.
Broatrh Wants Settle Beta.
W. J. Broatch. who ran third In the re
publican mayoralty contest according to the
official figures. Monday afternoon filed a
demand for a recount of the ballots cast
on the office of mayor, alleging error in the
returns.
It was stated for Mr. Broatch that he had
no Idea of precipitating a contest on the re
sult, but desired to have the recount made
for his own satisfaction and to
benefit persons who bet large sums
of mousy aa to whether he would be

the money has been made. Charles E. Fan
ning, who got the biggest lump, S1.6S0 from
Billy Nesselhous, has received his money.
Then Greenleaf filed an objection to re
counting the ballots, holding that the affi
davit of Stockham did not contain suf
ficient grounds for complying with the de
mand In that It did not claim fraud or
state facts to warrant Its sufficiency; also
charging that It was not In gpod faith
and that Elbourn waa the only candidate
who could profit possibly by the deal.
Later he filed other objections, one of them
objecting to Hennings as a member of the
board on the ground that he was not city
treasurer, and another against Elbourn
acting on the board because he was an
Interested party. Broatch also filed an
objection to Hennings on the same theory
raised by Stockham, and the opinion of the
city attorney was asked for and received,
causing the change In the personnel of the
board.
Elbonrn Files for Himself.
After a prolonged conference with his
attorney, T. J. Mahoney. Elbourn filed an
affidavit of his own at 3 o'clock, when
the board reconvened after a two hours'
recess, demanding a recount of the bal
lots for city clerk on the ground of error.
He made no specifications. This was fol
lowed by an affidavit of Ben Keegan of
the teamsters' union swearing that In the
Second precinct of the Second ward, of
which he Is a resident voter, he had good
reason to believe and ample authority to
show that many votes at the primary were
cast for 'W. H. Elbourn and accredited to
S. K. Greenleaf.
W. A. Saunders, the Fontanelle cam
paign manager, entered a protest in the
name of E. A. Benson, successful candi
date for the mayoralty nomination, and
objected to a recount of the ballots on
that score because there was no authority
In law for so doing, because the canvass
was .completed before the protest was
filed; because the returns show without
question that E. A. Benson waa nominated
and because no error was shown or fraud
alleged.
Councilman Hoye heard that Elbourn
had been charging him with corrupt prac
tices In the Second precinct of the Second
ward wlfh respect to the clerkship race
primary day and appeared to denounce
anyone who made such statements and to
say he was Innocent; also that If any
fraud was perpetrated the probabilities
were It occurred In the city clerk's office.
Mr. Elbourn told Mr. Hoye he had been
misquoted and charged no fraud by any
one. Mast Specify Error.
Mayor Zimman. as chairman of the board,
took the position that the affidavits must
specify w here error or fraud had been com
mitted In order that the board recount the
votes In the precincts mentioned and not
cover the entire fifty-four precincts In the
city. City Attorney Breen said he thought

the law could not be Interpreted that way
and that the affidavits were sufficient, and
was warmly backed up by Attorney Ma
honey. The mayor asked It the board could
summon witnesses and take testimony
under oath and the city attorney replied he
thought not. His honor and the city clerk
exchanged a quantity of wit across the ta
ble and the board adjourned to give Mr.
Breen time to figure out his opinions.
City Clerk, Elbourn says:
"I have received some very queer-looking
reports from election officers and watchers
in the south end of town. These are to the
effect that votes for me were not counted
that way, but were thrown to Greenleaf.
Reports not precisely to that nature, but
of a suspicious character, have come to
me from several precincts. I have been
told by certain election officers they did all
they could for me, but couldn't help It.
Heard of Tbreate.
"I had heard threats made before the pri
maries that If I could not be beaten one
way I could another. I understand that
Stockham has affidavits to show votes were
not counted properly."
Rumors that other contests would be
started have been heard, but have not ma
terialized. In the case of Junge and Vail, socialist
councilmanlc candidates In the Fourth
ward, who are tied with forty-six votes
apiece, nothing haa been heard from either.
The law provides that In case of tie the can
vassing board shall count the ballots and If
V tie still remains shall decide by lot. The
members of the board will summon Junge
and Vail and hope they will voluntarily flip
a coin and decide In that way. While they
do not have to-do the clerical work them
selves, the recount must be made In their
presence.
WESTBERG SPENDS BIGGEST SIM
Perennial Candidate Heads List,
While Two Democrats I.ana7 Free.
It may the irony of fate, but that doesn't
alter the fact that John Westberg, the
perennial candidate for city comptroller,
paid more money to make the primary
race than any other candidate on any
ticket and got beat, while W. C. Norrls
and M. F. Funkhouser, democratic candi
dates for the council from the Third and
Eleventh wards respectfully, had no cam
paign expenses and got nominated.
The biggest account turned In up to date
Is that of John N. Westberg, defeated re
publican candidate for comptroller, who
confesses to spending $171, 90 of which
went to the Fontanelle club as "assess
ment." Pete Loch, who lost out In the
council race In the Sixth, says he had
80.000 campaign carda printed. Charles J.
Karbach, a councilmanlc loser in tha
Tenth, remarks that he has charged his
$27.70 expenses to the ''educational fund,"
as he considers he got $27,000 worth of
experience and education out of the affair.
V. H. Hoffman, the "Third ward spouter,"
decleres It cost him $157 to spout as he
thought he ought to do. Part of It went
for hall rent, part for printing and ward
workers and the remainder for livery bills
and signs. T. if.'Dailey, a defeated demo
cratic candidate, Inserts an Item of $10 for
"assistance."
George Wells, socialist candidate for he
council In the Seventh ward, aald:
"I paid nothing at all as nomination ex
penses. In other words 1 was beautifully
beaten. I had lots of fun and it didn't
cost a rent, for all of which I am duly
thankful."
