If a vacancy j exists it can only be filled by appolnt- | ment by the board of county commis-; i sioners and the election of a justice of peace in New Haven last week Is 11 j clearly void." This is the ruling hand- ' i cd down by Secretary of State Lpw G. [. Ellingham and received by County ■ | Clerk Gelding yesterday. Upon this decision the clerk refused a commission to William H. Bowers, justice of peace to which Bowers was elected at a recent town election. Adams township already has two justices of the peace, the township's full quota, and there is no emergency existing for 1 either the election or appointment of 1 a new justice there. Mr. Bowers was 1 one of those seeking the office nt the ‘ last town election and, in some manner, the town ticket of each party ; gave place to a candidate for the town- , ship office. When Mr. Bowers the J lucky candidate, filed his certificate of election with the county clerk ’ M commission was held up until Secretary of State Ellingham could be ] heard from.’-Fort Wayne JournalGazette. 1
