newly appointed Shawnee county coroner.

board of county commissioners who de-
clared Or. Keiths office vacant. had no
right to do. DIR. Keith, as has been
his custom for some years. went to New
Mexico last fall to oversee the harvest
of the apple crop on his ranch down
there. He appointed a deputy coroner to
look after his work during his vacation.
After he had been gone a short time
County Attorney Simon proceeded to get
busy and declare the corOner's office
vacant and prevailed, along with others
of DR. Keith's political enemies. upon the
governor to appoint new coroner. The
governor appointed Romgardner.
5rhe petition of custer denies the right
of the county attorney and his friends to
take DR. Keith's office, to which he had
been duly elected, away from him. 1t
asks that Bomsardner he ousted there
from so that Dr. Keith, the legally elected
coroner, can resume his duties.

is hard to see how an official elected by
the people can he thrown out of office by
other county officials without process of
law or proved charges. The only charge
made against Or. Keith was that he had
gone away on a vacation The county
attorney himself made a vacation trip last
summer without losing his office
Dr. Keith had been gone from the coun-

clared vacant by Simon. The doctors
