the official ballot in two count es
lat the recent election. this morn
ing, in the supreme court filed
a petition for quo warranto. cal
ling upon G. II. Van Stone to
show cause why he should not
be removed from Office.
The petition, which was pre-
sented by H. ID. Terrell, Attorn-
ey for Mr.. Owen, will come up,
lit is expected, at an early session
of the court which convened to-
day for the first time since the
new justices qualified.
On behalf Of G. w. Armiio,
another of the defeated candi-
Gates for the corporad0n com
mission. Attorney Thomas b.
Catron fled a petition Of inter-
vention in the Owen-Yan Stone
case. IT is understood that Mr.
Catron will set up a claim Of
fraud in the recent election and
that by reason of these frauds
his client was cheated out Of the
position on the corporation COM
mission. 1t is believed that on
the result of the Armijo interven-
tion will depend whether or not
a large number of contests win
be filed by defeated candidates
/ for Office in the recent election.
Mr.. Catron, it is said, in his ar
! Iguments win raise all the points
that could be raised by any Of
the unsuccessful candidates.
The interests of Mr.. Van
Stone in the contest are to be
Hooked after by Mr.. Neil B.
Field and it is understood that
the defense. among other things
win raise the point that the SUI
preme court is without jurisdic-
ton to pass upon the case.
The supreme court held its first
session this morning and adj
iourned without transacting any
business. At tomorrow's ses-
sion, it is understood, a number
of cases will be set for hearing.
The action Of the defeated re-
publican candidate in Intervening
in the Owen-Van Stone contest
case comes as something Of q
surprise in political circles here.
: 1t has long been known that q
number Of contests were to be
fled, among them one to test the
right of Justice Hanna to a seal
on tn e supreme bench, but it
was understood that a method OF
procedure was to be different.
According to the plans, as out
lined by the political wise ones,
the plan was to bring contests
against democratic members Of
the legislature, hold hearings be-
fore the legislative committees,
the majority of the members of
which would necessarily be rA
publicans, and if evidence Of
fraud were developed, to use
this evidence as the basis for con.
tests in the courts against Off

as usual. Frank W. Crawford, chair
man of the board of selectmen pre-
