FIGHT
FINALLY OVER
Case in Court for Several
M~onths-Leighton Gave
Important Decision.

Nelva. \. D, Aug. Clone Of the
most important actions that has been
tried in Ward county resulted in a
victory for the defendants when Judge
Is r. Leighton rendered a decision
diminishing a writ of certoriari by a.
y. Srhafer. formerly of LeSueur.
Minn.. now residing at Nelva.
The case is the outcome of a bitter
tight that has been on at Nelva for
several months. 1t is said that at the
n Of the last school year. the for
nlcr board requested the resignation
OF Supt. O. j. Lokken. and elected a.
j. Schafer of LeSueur. Mimi, to the
position. This met with strong oppo-
sition and it is understood that nearly
ninety per cen of the parents of the
school children at Eelva petitioned
the board to re-eloCt Mr.. Lokkcn. The
petition was not considered.
AZ the annual school election two
new members We're elected and this
board rescinded tho contract between
the district and Nh. Schafer on the
ground that on the date the contract
was signed Mr.. Schafer had not re-
corded and filed his certificate show
ing that he was qualified to teach in
Ward county. The contract which he
signed provided that he should com
mellce service on October /, and he
accordingly arrived in Nelva on July
2t. He filed his proper certificates
with the county superintendent of
schools of McIIenry county and con-
tends that the law provides that it is
only necessary to file the certificates
prior to assuming the position.
However. inasmuch as Mr.. Lokken
was also on the job. Mr.. Schafer OBJ
tanned a writ of c%ertiorari to review
the action of the board which can
called tine C0ntrgrt Thic y-,c ~,
before Judge Leighton this morning,
George A. Niece appearing for the
school board and John f. Green for
Mr.. Schafer. Judge Leighton decid-
cd in favor of the school board and
dismissed the writ. ATTORNEY Greene
announced that an appeal would be
taken to the supreme court by his
client. Mr.. Schafer, and the outcome
viii be awaited with considerable in
tercst because of the wide Importance
of the case.
according to Attorney Greene. If the
ruling of Judge Leighton is upheld
by the supreme court. all contracts
made with teachers outside of the
state. who have not filed the proper
certificates required by law. prior to
the time of signing contracts, they are
void.
1t is ordinarily the practice in this
state. especially in the large cities. for
the contracts to be signed by the
teachers, who. however, do no file
their certificates as a rule, until they
arriV" TO assume their positions. If
Judge Leighton's decision is upheld
the supreme court it will have an
important bearing on a large number
of contracts all over the state and
will make it necessary in the future to
these certificates filed with he
county superintendent before the con-
tracts are signed.
