Mrs. Wiliby of Sapulpa was here
today, en- route to Nevada, Mo. to
visit her daughter, who is attending
Cottey college there. While In the city
she was the guest of Rev. and Mrs.
]. E. Pershing.
Misses Nettie Higgins and Louise
Duncan went to Parsons today for
visit over Sunday.
At Miss Graper's pupils recital at
the Congregational church last even
ing a very pleasing program was CIV
en-. The playing of the pupils was
very fine indeed, for children of their
years. Both their Interpretation and
technic were excellent and showed
that they had been taught to use
both brains and hands in their music
study. Especial mention should be
made of the piano selection of Master
Paul Snyder. While only boy ten
years old and with less than a years
study his playing would have done
credit to one who had spent two or
three years in the study of music.
The vocal numbers of the program
were very pleasing also. The trio by
Mrs. Ewing Halsell, Mrs. D. H. Wilson
and Miss Graper was rendered in
truly artistic manner and was greatly
enjoyed

JUDGE M. A. ROBERTS RULES
FAVORABLE TO NEW MAN IN
SUPERVISOR CASE
ARGUED TWO DAYS
Officer Who Failed to- Qualify at
Proper Time is Now Serving
the County-The Full
Decision.

Jacob w. Jordan is now member
of the Wapello county board of super
visors, made SO by the ruling given in
the supervisor tangle this morning by
Judge Roberts. Mr.. Jordan is serving
with the other members of the board
in its first session for 1910 this after
noon. John Rinehart, the oldest mem
Der of the board, was made president.
The hearing of the much argued
supervisor case in which j. w. Jor-
dan sought to restrain Clerk George
Phillips. Recorder, L. l.. SWenson and
Auditor Charles McCarty from declar-
ing vacancy in the board of super.
Tisors, was completed yesterday after
noon about o'clock. Upon the con-
clusion of the arguments by the at
torneys, Cornell and 10 r. Jaques for
the county officers, and Gilmore and
| William McNett for Mr.. Jordan
Judge N. A. Roberts took the matter
under consideration and decided in
favor of Mr.. Jordan this morning.
| Claim No Vacancy.
The case has been given about as
| thorough an airing from a legal stand
point as any that has been heard fol-
sometime past in Ottumwa. Both sides
to the controversy spent two days
pleading their cause before the court
The plaintiff contended that law re
curing person elected to qualify II
a certain time, and providing If he
does not, that a vacancy exists, is
directory. Further, that in fact nj
vacancy exists until the court forfeits
or declares the Office vacant, and al
SO that the law provides the incum
bents or followers failure to qualify
in the time set by the statute ap
plies only to persons in office, and does
| mot apply to Mr.. Jordan who had no

clsing the functions of an office. A
reading of the act shows conclusiyelv
that 1t, only contemplates cases where
the right of persons claiming or at

an Office can be questioned in court.
1t does not contemplate cases where
the plaintiff Is the one whose right to
Office is involved and is seeking to
prevent others who do not claim the
office from interfering with his right
thereto. Such is this case. This case.
in my Judgment comes clearly within
the rule of equity which authorizes an
Injunction when defendants are inter-
fering or threatening to interfere with
plaintiffs rights and where there is
no plain adequate and speedy remedy
at law.
The right of plaintiff to the Office

ty; but defendants call attention to
sections 1855 and 1866 of the code
which are in chapters 10 of the code,
relating to vacancies in office and
claim that these actions provide the
penalty for failing to comply with the
requirements of Section 1177 in the
matter of qualifying. They rely upon
the second subdivision of section 1866
which is as follows "a failure Of
the incumbent or hold-over officer TO
qualify within the time prescribed by
law, shall constitute vacancy. No
provision is made in this chapter in
vacancies relating to one elected to
office falling to qualify unless the
term incumbent includes such per-
son. And it then becomes important
to determine the meaning of the word
incumbent" Bearing in mind the
rule of construction above referred to
we must determine its meaning ac-
cording to the context and the approx
ed usage of the language and also de-
termine if it has had technical
meaning in law what that is:
The Standard Dictionary contains
the following definition of the word:
"One who holds an office or performs
oi1cial duties, especially one holding a
benefice. In law. though, appointed
or elected to an office, the person so
chosen Is not an incumbent until he
has given bond, taken oath, ETC.
Webster says: "The person who is
in present possession of a benefice, or
any Office"
And the Encyclopedias Dictionary:
"a person who holds or is in posses
sion of any property. beneflce, or Of
| fee"
The entire weight of authority both
in the dictionaries and the opinions
SO far as can find is in harmony and
apply the term incumbent only to a
person actually in possession of an
office.
/ /, therefore. conclude that plaintiff
was not an incumbent of said Office
prior to January 1910, and that the
/ provisions of the code relating to va
cancies does not apply to him.
4 Another suggestion gives much
strength to this view. There can &be
but three incumbents of the office %
members of the board of supervisors
of county at the same time. ant
there can be no vacancy until one
of these in Offices goes out. During
all OF 1909 those Offices We're full
there being three actual incumbent!
and to hold that the plaintiff was al
incumbent would be to hold that Their,
were four incumbents during all o
1909.
Forfeitures are abhorred in law an,
courts never declare a forfeiture ur
less the duty to do so Is clear ant
mandatory.
Mr.. Jordan having been elected a
tie choice of the people and havin
qualified in time to take up the dutie
! of the office promptly and immediate
ly when the term of his predecesso
\ expired is, in my judgment, clearly er
i titled both in law and as matter c
4 wise public policy to administer tn
4 duties of the Office to which the pei
! pie have elected him and agains
which no reason is offered except th
Il fact that he misconceived his dut
as to the time in which he shoul
4 qualify. Although his said failure ha
4 not and could not in any way pref
dice the rights or welfare of the pu
q lie.
u Defendants motion to dissolve til
n temporary Injunction is, therefor
q overruled. Defendants except July
Il 1910.
