crats of that ter'rltery. Former Gov
ernor Osborne of Wyoming, announced

BELL GIVE
IIIS RIGHTS
The treasurershlp of Wallowa coun
ty Is legally vested in W. T. Bell, who
was elected at the June election, but
who did not assume the dutlc.8 of the
office until Wednesday of thin week.
After the ejection the former treasurer,
Frank A. Roavls, refused to turn over
the records and some 125,300 of the
, county money, on the grounds that
Mr. Bell, under our constitution, could
not hold two remunerative offices at
one and the same time, he being post
master of the city of Enterprise. Bell
brought mandamus proceedings, also
;:n""v,r " frntrt proceedings for re
fusing to turn over the office. Dan
Sheahan represented Reavis and C.
H. Finn of this city represented Mr.
Bell. Judge Knowles beard the case
Wednesday and sustained the matt'
damus action and directed Reavis to
conform with the order of the court,
and In case the order was obeyed, the
contempt case would be dismissed.
. While the facts did not come out in
the trial, there Is every reason to be
licve that the $25,100 was fhe covet
ed prize that brought forth the litiga
tion. It Is understood that Reavis
under his administration, deposited
the money In a certain bank, and that
Bell made certain ante-election prom
ises that If he was elected he would
place the funds In another. Bell has
resigned his postofflce position and
turned it over to his bondsmen, his
successor not having been as yet ftp
poiniea. inn case- became quite a
feature in Wallowa political and com
mercial circles, but It Is all history
now. Bell has the office and hit name
will be required on the back of the
warrants hereafter when presented for
payment. ' .
