INTERESTING CASE
COMES UP TODAY
QUO WARRANTO OF STATE VS..
CIRCUIT CLERK JAMES FOWLER,
WHO DECLINES TO PUT RESlG-
NATION IN ACTION.

Decatur, November (Special.)-The
case of quo warranto instituted in the
circuit court here by the state against
Circuit Clerk James f. Fowler was called
this morning before Judge Berry of the
Fourteenth circuit as special judge. The
case was continued until tomorrow morn
ing.
This is a suit of peculiar interest as
it is very doubtful if there has ever
been a case of like nature in the state
before. Some weeks ago James Fow-
Ter rendered to Judge d. w. Speake his
resignation as clerk The resignation
was to take effect on October 19. Later
Mr.. Fowler claimed that he had with
drawn the resignation. Judge Speake,
acting upon the theory that the resigna-
ton was still in effect, appointed Frank
Davis. the present clerk of the probate
court, as clerk of the circuit court to
fill the vacancy. Mr.. Davis made his
bond but failed to qualify. Judge Speake
then appointed George Britnell and he
mado bond and qualified. Mr.. Fowler
then enjoined Mr.. Britnell from taking
charge of the office and Judge Speake
in turn instituted quo warranto proceed
ings IN the name of the state against
Mr.. Fowler.
Both James Fowler and George Britnell
have employed a number of lawyers and
the case will be stubbornly fought
through the courts.

Particularly Sad Funeral.

A particularly sad feature of the in
torment of the remains of Mats listen,
who died under suspicious circumstances,
was the fact that not single mourner
followed his remains to the grave. The
deceased was an Austrian and had only
been in this country a few months and
had no relatives in the country; yet as
a rule the foreign element pay respect
to their countrymen when dead. The
remains were decently inferred, however,
by Tchols & Angwin. Whether the
funeral expenses were paid or not could
not be learned, but in this connection 1t
may be said for the firm OF Echols DC

Fire at Palmer Station.

A fire occurred this afternoon about 2:30
o. clock at the residence of w. A, Rob-
inson at Palmer station, and had 1t not
been for the prompt action of the volun-
tcer fire department of the Fifth ward
and the quick response of the paid depart
ment the fire would have resulted dis
astrously so far as the buildings were
concerned. The fire was discovered on
the roof, which was presumably ignited
by a spark from the chimney AS soon
as the alarm was sounded the volunteers
quickly assembled and had stream of
water playing on the roof when the reg
ulars arrived. When the fire was extin-
guished it was found that good portion
of the roof was burned and 1t is esti-
mated the damage will be about $500,
which, it is understood. is covered by in
surance.
