AGENGY VOTES NEED NOT BE CANVASSED Court Decides Against Sibley in Action to Compel Counting of Ballots. SIBLEY FORCES BOARD TO SHOW CAUSE BEFORE DISTRICT COURT With the Red Lake Vote Thrown Out, Saxrud’s Election Is Assured. Yesterday evening Fred O. Sibley, one of the candidates for the republican nomination for county commissioner for the Third district, filed a petition with the clerk of the district court praying that an order be issued from the court directing the canvassing board and each of the members thereof to show cause forthwith to the court why & report should not be given to the county auditor, including the complete statement of the whole number of ballots cast at the primary election and returned to the board from the Third dis- trict. The petition was taken under consideration immediately after being filed with the clerk, and the order was issued, returnable Saturday morning at 9 o’cleck. In the petition, Mr. Sibley, after stating that he was a candi- date for the office of commis- sioner for the Third district, alleges that the votes in all the precincts in the district were duly canvassed and counted and returns duly made to the can- vassing board, which is now can- vassing the same that he believes that the board intends to omit from its report one or more of the voting precincts in the dis- trict, and that the omission is made for the purpose of depriv- ing bhim (Mr. Sibley) of the nomination for candidate fcr commissioner; for which, he alleges, he has been duly nomi- nat>d by the legal voters in the district, The official returns from all of the precincts in the Third com- missoner district, except four, were recelved at the time of fil- (,om,mned on last page.
