will take ink better than the
paper now employed.

Judge Decides VIM. Mckeon Must
Turn Over Books OF District
No. 5 Pleasant Prairie
GANTZER WINS COURT ACTION
fractional Strife in Pleasant Prairie
School District May be Carried
to Supreme Court of the
State on Appeal

Judge Belden put an end to the long
| fight between the two factions in
School District No 5 in the Town of
Pleasant Prairie this morning when he
filed his decision in the petition Of
Charles Gantzer for an alternative writ
of mandanlus to force William McKeon
to turn over to him the records and
monies of the school district. The de-
cision holds that Gantzer is the proper
treasurer of the district and that the
mandamus is the appropriate remedy.
1t is possible that the case will be APP
pealed to the Supreme Court Of the
state. The decision of Judge Belden is
one of greatest interest to the officials
Of rural school. Boards in that it sets
precedent Tor future action. In his
decision the courts says:
Section 432 R. S. provides that the
director, treasurer and clerk shall CON
stitute the District Board. That meet
ings of the Board may be called by any
two members by serving on the other
a written notice Of the time and place.
That no formal notice of meeting shall
ye required where. all members Of the
Board are present and consent to con
slider matters relating to the district.
Section 443 R. S. provides that when
the director and clerk shall deem the
bond Of the treasurer insufficient shall
demand additional bond in such sum
as they shall fix, which bond shall be
MED within ten days after such de-
mand; and that the neglect or refusal
to file such bond shall vacate the office.
ACCORDING to the petition herein
the office of treasurer held by defen-
dant became vacant ipso facto and he
ceased thereupon to be a member of
the Board. No notice Of a meeting
thereafter to be held was necessary to
be served upon him. He was out.
Section 433 r. S. provides that the
Board may fill any vacancy by appoint
ment within ten days after such vac
ancy shall occur. 1t appears by the
| petitions that this was done, and the
lrelator appointed to such Office, and
that he, duly qualified He has a right,
therefore, upon the showing of the petit
tions to maintain proceedings to obtain
possession Of the books, records, monies,
property and effects belonging to such
| Office
"section OFT ct, seq. R. S. do not af-
ford an adequate remedy in the instant
case.
Mandamus is the appropriate rene
| dy. The motion to quash the writ
must be denied. It is so ordered. - y

SPRING DARK HORSE
". c. 0wsa, Member Of Assem-
bly,, Comes Up as Strong
Candidate for Senator
cUR1Iss VOTES FOR OWEN
lBy a Special Correspondent


Madison, Wis, Feb. 1.-THE lone ex-
pected dark horse in the senatorial
fight arrived in the race this morning
when Assemblyman w. G. Owen who
had received a vote or two on several
ballots IN the past suddenly became q
factor in the race by getting Is votes
on the joint ballot today His votes
came largely from the men who have
been opposed to the election of Senator
Stephenson, but only one of the mem
bers OF the Legislature who had been
voting for Stephenson voted for Owen.
Stephenson was six short of election
today, he losing two voters who had
been with him from the beginning of
the contest. Assemblyman Busacker
voted for Owen and Senator Lyons,
who had been counted as one of the
strongest Stephenson men, voted for
Lieutenant Governor Strange Assem-
blyman Curtiss of Kenosha county was
one OF the men to vote for Owen. It
is not thought that Owen will be the
choice of the opponents of Stephenson
if it is possibl to defeat the Marinette
man, but the ballot today is thought
to have been test of strength and
when the opposition can be organized
lit is probable that some one will be
selected by a caucus. It is certain that
there will be trouble in these men unit
ing on any canoldate as some of them
are demanding that the vote be cast
for Congressman Cooper while others
have been so bold as to assert that John
j. Esch of Lacrosse would make a real
senator The fact that Esch refused
to withdraw two years ago is working
against him at this time Stephenson
got SO votes today, the same as Mon
day. It required 65 for an election. The
result of the ballot follows: Stephen
son, So. Brown, 20; w. G. Owen, Is;
J.~J. Esch, z; Rummell, 4; H. A. Coop
en- 4; Strange, 3; W. D. Howard, 2;
