Full bench present. State eE rel Selden
Hetzel, Us. The County Commissioners
of Eureka County Petition for writ
of mandamus to compel the said Com
missioners to call An election for County
of6c-rs in August next. Hetzel for relat-
or. Clarke for the County Commission
ems. decision will be delivered from
the bench to-day. Under the law of
last Winter creating the County Of Eu-
r-ks it is prov ded that the officers APP
pointed by said Law shall hold their Of
nee until the next election. unless at any
time prior to a given date there sh Ill be
q bona ride petition signed by 500 citizens
of the said County and filed with the
Clerk of the Court asking for AN cleo
ton. The facts are that snch a petition
WAS drawn up and signed. but that some
Of the siyners subsequently erased their
names and signed remonStrance; and
one issue of the case is. whether the sisner
of petition .an skin it back after sign
ing. Another allegation is that many of
these names were those of persons who
were not citiz-ns.) As an outside view
of the case we will express the sentiment
that it seems pity tn It SO good Il COM
piement of officers As that county is fsv-
Ored with should not be allowed to hold
during at least full two years term.
