THE COURT NEWS Jesse Steele Asks Court to Determine Who Attendance Officer is. TWO ARE CLAIMANTS For Office—Contention is *That Butcher Was Not Eligible for Election. The question as to who is county attendance officer will besettled by the circuit court, according to the plea of Jesse Steele, who, on the relation of the state, filed a case against Adam (X Bulkier. He demands rt judgment of $200; and asks that Butcher be declared an intruder and usurper of the office, and that he be "ousted” therefrom. Mr. Steele was elected truant officer by the board of education in May, 1915, for one year, or until his successor was named. At the election in May, 1916, Butcher was elected, receiving eight votes over Steele, who received seven. Mr. Butcher qualified and entered upon duties of his office August 1. Mr. . Steele alleges that Butcher was in- | eligible for appointment, his term as a justice of the peace for Kirkland township not having expired. Butcher was elected justice of the peace November, 1914, for four years. He served only about six months when ho moved from the township, but the contention is that his term not having expired, he was ineligible to election to another office. Both men, it is said, have been serving as attendance officer. D. B. Erwin is Steele's attorney. — — » Fishers and hunters' licenses were issued to V. U. Baker, Frank Filer, M. M. Wegmiller, C. C.

WILSON TO TOUR WEST. (United Press Service) (By Robt. J. Bender) Asbury Park, N. J.. Sept. 27—(Spec ial to Daily Democrat) —Trips into the middle west in October were today being worked out in detail by President Wilson. The development of his plans for this series of trips included decisions as to the nature of the addresses he will make and the number. On both these points the president is receiving tremendous amounts of advice. The democratic leaders want the president to get into the fight with Hughes on a number of issues tlie republican nominee is advancing. They are outspoken in urging that the president should inject a few more personalities into the campaign. These leaders wish to see the republican party and Hughes himself, if it is possible, placed on the griddle by President Wilson and made to answer what both would have done in situations confronting the administration for the last three and one-half years. ■ —O— — TWO INDIANA FIRES.
