Must Show Cause.

The battle over the Baraga county
poor farm which has been going Oh for
several months on the board of super
visorS has at last been transferred to
the courts, Geo. II. Schoneweg, chair
man OF the board, having been served
with an order from the supreme court
to show cause why mandamus should
not issue compelling him to sign an
order for the payment OF the land.
The facts in this case, as we are in
formed, are substantially as follow /:
Some time last fall proposition was
made to tho board of supervisors by
Thomas MCCLELLAN, OF Baraga, to sell
tie county 40 acres OF land for 81 800
At sui s, quent meeting of the board
this proposition was presented, and
according to the clerks record, ac-
cepted by an unanimous vote. There
were bit three OF the four super
visor, present, aud Mr.. IIebard, who
VAS chairman OF the board, denies that
he voted OH the proposition, and as
tie vote was not taken by yeas and
nays the record does not disclose
whether he vote d or not. If his denial
is rue there were but two votes in
favor OF the proposition out of the four
supervisors then composing the board.
Mr.. MCCLELLAN went on and perfected
tire title to The land, and rendered u
deed thereof but the chairman of the
beard, both Mr.. Hebard aud Mr..
Schoneweg, refused to sign an
order for the payment thereof on the
ground that the proposition had not
been carried by legal majority,
Hence MCCLELLAN has applied TO the
supreme court for mandamus.
Prosecuting attorney Halsey will de.
fend the chairman in this action.
