# OLD COMMISSIONER OF NOBLE COUNTY REMAINS. # SUPREME COURT DECISION In a Case That Pertains to the Term of Office of a County Commissioner- Old Commissioner Was Elected for a Term of Four Years and the Office of the New Commissioner is Therefore, Void. The supreme court yesterday handed down an important opinion relative to the term of office of county commissioner in a number of counties of the territory, the case being brought from the third commissioner district of Noble county, where a new commissioner had just been elected and the old commissioner refused to give up his office, claiming he held for two years longer. The newly elected commissioner applied for a writ to compel the board to recognize him as a member, coming direct to the supreme court on the supposition that this court held original jurisdiction in such cases. The decision of the court was that the jurisdiction was original with this court, Justices Dale and Tarsney dissenting; but granting that the jurisdiction was here, theyfall assented to the opinion that the commissioner of the Third district was elected two years ago for four years and would hold his full time out, and therefore the election of a new commissioner for that district was void. This will apply to a number of other counties where the conditions are the same. The case of Harper S. Cunningham, receiver National bank, of Guthrie, vs. the United States National bank, New York city, was argued and submitted. This is an important case. It involves the sum of of $15,000, and the reputation of several gentlemen. This is the case in which Burford knocked out Cunningham as receiver of the bank, and refused to audit his accounts, and impugns Judge Green as chief justice. Attorney Sam Overstreet representing the plaintiff, made a masterly argument. Horace Speed represents the defendants.
