WRITS FILED
BY ROBERTS
Against Probate Judges Brown
and Crum
TO RENDER AN ACCOUNT
For Fees Collected for Proving
Up Townsite Cases.

Guthrie, o. T, May 15.-Petitions were
flied in the Oklahoma supreme court to-
day, asking that alternative writs of
mandamus be issued to compel Warren
H. Brown, probate judge of comanehe
county. and Chas. L. Crum, probate judge
Of Caddo county. to render an account
ing in court of the fees collected by them
in proving up new townsites in the new
country, or show reason why such an ac-
counting should not be made. This ac-
ton was brought by Attorney General
Roberts, in conjunction with the county
attorneys of the respective counties, and
IS a result Of the investigation which has
been carried on by Attorney General Rob
berts in behalf of the territory for some
weeks past.
1t is stated in the petition filed against
Probate Judge Brown of Comanche coun-
ty that in proving up the following town
sites fees were collected as follows:
Sterling. 500; Thicker, $50; Park City,
$500; BotsfoSd, $500; Hulen. $3.50; Hazel,
$3.50; Baird now Hastings 500; Walters,
5000; GosneIl, s..
1t is further alleged that in making out
deeds for lots in these townsites exhor-
bitant fees were charged. and specific
cases are shown in the petition. 1t is
also alleged that Probate Judge Brown
has repeatedly refused TO make a report
to the board of county commissioers Of
the fees collected by him, as is stated by
law outlining the action Of probate
judges of the respective counties; ard
that there has never been an account
ing at any time of the amount Of money
collected in fees in excess of the salary
to be received by the probate judge.
IN the case filed against Probate Judge
Crum 1t is alleged that $500 had been
collected in fees for the proving up OF
the townsites Of Apache, Bridgeport. Hy-
dro and Siekles. and that Crum had re
fused to file a report with the board of
county commissioners. showing the
amount of fees collected above the per
cent allowed the probate judge for sal
airy. It is asked that an accounting be
made of the fees collected up TO the first
of April. 1892.
The petitions go into detail. showing
what the action of the probate judges
should be in such cases, and alleging that
not in a single instance has the law
been complied with.
II is believed that the supreme court
viii issue the alternative writs of man
damus within a few days. The hearing of
the case. however, cannot come up until
the June term OF the court. The action
was brought direct in the supreme court
in order TO avoid the delay necessary in
waiting for court TO convene in the vari-
Gus counties
