election held on the 11th day of October, instant, I,
to-day, the 13th day of October, 1859, in the presence of
the following two persons, viz: Wm. A. Hagge and Frederick
Hedde, opened the said |
returns of the election held in the precincts of Hall county, Nebraska Territory, viz: the Grand Island precinct and the Wood River precinct. We found the election returns of said Wood River precinct signed by one judge of election only, and by one clerk only, and there was no oath, neither of the judges nor of the clerks of election, certified upon the poll-books of said precinct.
