↑ Saskatchewan Archives Board, p. 2.14-21: "On February 9, 1931, the Assembly granted the petition of N.L. McLeod and seated him as member instead of D. McKnight, because ballots had been tampered with. On November 7, 1932, the Court of Appeal found that the election was void and the seat was declared vacant."
