Goodland’s County Seat Elec tion Ordered.

Goodland Herald. The commissioners met in regular session Monday. The county seat removal petition filed by Goodland was taken up and the board voted unanimously to give us an election, fixing Jan. 30,1901 as the time for holding the same, Kentland at once took an appeal from the order to the circuit court on the grounds that our petition should have been filed before the expiration of one year from the taking effect of the law. In all probability the question will go to the supreme court, but in the meantime Goodland’s election will be held just the same and if the required 65 per cent is secured this town will undoubtedly get the court house. The action of Kentland in trying to prevent an election to determine the question of relocation at Goodland will bear no fruit of goodwill although anticipated.
