Jasper County Democrat, Volume 2, Number 3, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 April 1899 — Prosecutor Resigus. [ARTICLE]

Prosecutor Resigus.

A. E. Chizum resigned as prosecuting attorney of this judicial district last week and G. E. Milk was promptly appointed to the vacancy. The fact of Chixum’a intention to resign was kept very quiet, although there were some vague rumors that he was contemplating each a coarse. As a prosecutor, Mr. Chizum has made himself very unpopular all over the dktrict, bat as he was re-elected X’n last fall it so not quite plain he should now resign. The excuse given by the Apologkt k a very kme one, and it k self-evi-dent that there is something behind it all of which the pabuo at large is not advised. His successor has his record yet to make as a prosecutor, and The Democrat will reserve comment on the appointment for the present. There is no doubt but that the appointment k very satisfactory in oertain quarters here.
