Suit Against school superintendent.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
PORTLAND, Ind, July 23.-John E.
Bishop to-day brought proceedings in quo
warranto in the Jay Circuit Court to Gust
Lewis Grove from enjoying the privileges
and exercising the functions of county
school superintendent Bishop AYERS that
since June S, 1897, Grove falsely pretends
that at meeting of the township trustees,
held for the purpose of electing a county
school superintendent, he was elected, then
filed his bond required by law and took
the oath of office. Bishop also ayers that
Grove has obtruded himself into and is
IS qualified as county school superintendent.
lie further claims that at the meeting or
the trustees no person received a majority
or the votes cast, and that by reason of
that for want of an appointment ne asks
that Grove be ousted. The whole affair Is
the outcome of the township trustee mud
die which has been on foot for several
months. Peter L. Bishop, of Bear Creek
township, was formerly the trustee, but
afterward accepted the poStoffice at Bryant.
He was present at the meeting of the trus-
tees to chose a school superintendent for
Jay county and cast his vote. The political
complexion was six Democrats and six Re-
publicanS. After 40 ballots had been taken
1t was concluded that Bishops vote was IL
legal on the assumption that he had for
feited the office of trustee by accepting the
Bryant poStmaSterShip. On the next ballot
