GUYM0N STILL
FIGHTING FOR
COUNTY SEAT
Notwithstanding Action of
Commissioners in Matter
MAY MANDAMUS THEM
And Compel Them TO Call a
Special Election.
MAY MANDAMUS THEM

Guthrie, o. T, Jan. 22.-Regardless Of
the fact that the county commissioners
of Beaver county denied the petition OF
tax payers asking for a special election
to vote on the removal Of the county
seat from Beaver City to Guymon, the
county seat matter is not yet settled.
Residents of Guymon and others inter
ested in the moving of the county seat
sition and some method viii be adopted
which viii result in the calling of the
special election. and il is believed that
If the election is held it will result in
the county seat being moved. A petition
was signed by majority OF the property
owners in Beaver county, giving an ac-
curate description Of their land. This
petition was presented to the county COM
missioners at their session in Beaver
City and By vote Of two to one it was
turned down.
County Attorney c. r. Wright informed
the commissioners, it is said, that they
had no power to turn thar petition down
after it was regularly presented, but, re-
gardless Of this opinion the petition was
turned down and the matter delayed for
a time.
The men interested in moving the coun-
" seat are debating on two propositions.
One proposition is to secure a new petit
ton with plenty OF signatures, drawn up
in proper form, and again present it
to the county commissioners for their
consideration. The other proposition is
to mandamus the commissioners and
compel them 70 call a special election on
the grounds that the petition was prop
erly presented and was an indication of
the desires of a majority of the property
owners in Beaver county. Some definite
decision VIII be made within the next
few days and decisive action begun.
There is one difficulty in the way regard<
ing the securing Of a new petition and
that is the cost of the same. It is esti-
mated that it viii cost in the neighbor-
hood Of $500 to prepare the petition, while
the expense of mandamus proceedings
would not reach this amount of money
There is well defined sentiment ex-
listing that If the county seat cannot
be changed an effort viii be made to
divide the county. Guymon is practically
IN the center of the county and Beaver
lily Is IN thS eastern part. " nat an
effort of this kind would amount to is
hard to tell. but there is little question
but what 1t would make a disagreeable
fight and one which would result in fac
tions springing up over the entire county
The Guymon people are urging their
claims on the grounds that Guymon is
located on a railroad and Beaver City
is not, nor is it likely to be reached by a
railroad soon.
The Beaver residents claim that while
the town is in the eastern part of the
county it Is accessible to the majority
OF the people OF the county. owing to
the fact that the greater portion Of the
residents Of the county reside in the east
end.
