had not shot him in the head instead
of in the stomach, so as to cause
hiip less pain

VOTE UNTIL 8
Nenana’s first legally constituted
jtown election is in progress today,
Jwitb sixteen candidates in the race
•for the seven places on the board
| of trustees. A total of 18 candi
dates were nominated at the mass
I meeting held on Saturday night, but
!two of them—Peter Mortensen and
jJ. C. Jacobson—were eliminated
(shortly after the voting began this
J morning, because of non-residence
I within the town. Mortensen resides
on the south side of Eighth street,
just outside of the town limits, and
Jacobson’s residence is on the Com
mission reserve, where he rooms in
one of the dormitories and takes his
meals at the Commission messhouse.
Considerable quiet electioneering
was in progress throughout the day
and last night, but the campaign
was conducted in a friendly manner,
with an absence of personalities.
About the only issue involved is
the question of a new fireball, but
most of the candidates seem to be
opposed to such a proposition and
'none of them has come out openly
in favor of the expenditure of funds
for that purpose.
The voting is restricted to resi
dents of the town proper, none of
the Commission employes residing
cn the reserve being entitled, under
the law, to a vote, even though they
may own property in the town,
i The polls opened at nine o'clock
(this morning and will remain open
(until eight o’clock this evening. Up
(to five o’clock a total of 89 votes
jhad been polled.
