That is the Contention OF Justice of
the PenNe Ovide Wien.
Justice Of the Peace Oyde Wen has de-
cided that, being law abiding citizen.
he cannot turn over his office neXt Monday
to his successor, II. 7. Bryant, until the
questions involved in the Titus amendment
are decided by the supreme court In other
ords, Justice Wen holds that under the
peculiar wording of the much discussed
Titus amendment he is entitled to hold
onto the Office for further period of two
years, despite the fact that the voters Of
Kane township failed to renominate him
last fall seeing he had already held the
ofice for eight successive years.
Justice Wien has declared his intention
OF holding the office, and that as
soon as his rightful successor, II. T.
Bryant, attempts to open an office and do
business as a justice of the peace he VIII
institute mandamus proceedings against
him. He has placed the matter in the
hands of u firm of attorneys, with instruc-
tions TO commence these proceedings the
moment Mr.. Bryant attempts to assume
the Office of justice of the peace.
Constable Albert will have charge OF
Justice Vien's Office, as the latter intends
| to take trip to his old home in Canada
and will be out Of the city for thirty days
/ OF longer. IL lb tAptElSu lHub thiS
| time tho supreme court will have settled
the Titus amendment muddle.
Mr. Bryant has announced his intention
| of assuming the office to which he was
elected and in the event of Justice Wen
refusing to turn over the docket and other
records OF the office will have a fresh sci
OF books printed for himself. The refusal
of Justice Wen to step down and out oi
Office will prove more or less embarrassing
to Justice Bryant. as 1t will be hardly
probable that he will be able to do an
business until the courts decide whether
he or Wen Is entitled to the office. ThS
question of the jurisdiction of either woult
undoubtedly crop out and people having
business in a Justices court would undel
4 the circumstances naturally take 1t be-
fore Justice Fcrrier, who succeeds him
self next Monday,
The Titus amendment does not nffec
any of the other county officers elected
last fall, as they all succeed themselves.
