ohOi III JOih A. l<ONSWSii OA ooSSOso Judgment for $S,570.75 against for mer Sheriff Sam Bowen of Mississip- pi County. judgment also was given J. w. Rhodes against l.. $. Driver, for mer clerk of the same county. The court held that emoluments and fees from public office, when person H. legally in office collects them, must be turned over to the rightful eandi- date.
 In 1900 Bowen and Lovewell wero candidates for sheriff Bower claimed the election and his contention was sustained by the county court. al- though the matter was not finally ad- Indicated until after the tenure in question had expired. The Mississip- pi Circuit Court, to which the county courts decision had been appealed, reversed the verdict, declaring Love well elected. The supreme court re- manded the case for retrial, where upon Lovewel! again won out. Bowen in the meantime had served the ten ure of office.
 Suit then was instituted by Love- well to get the fees and emoluments collected by Bowen while he was in the sheriff's office, and the supreme court sustained the verdict that tho money. amounting to $S,570.75, was due Lovewell, who should have he'll the office, and returned decision to that effect
 The Driver Rhodes suit was on the same grounds identically. The two were candidates for circuit clerk and the result of the office was contested Driver took the oath of otfic, how ever, and continued in office until the term expired. Rhodes, whom tho courts declard the rightful nominee, then sued for the fees and emoluments collected by Driver.
