Without a Right to Hold Office Supreme Court Decies Against For mer County Cheriff and Up holds Act of Governor. Carl D. Quinton, former sheriff of Cass county, lost for a second time in supreme court his right to hold onto his office after Governor Bryan had acted upon his request to be suspended while indictments against him were being determined. Quinton was indicted by a grand jury in November, 1923, on charges of misdemeanor in office. Shortly thereafter he asked Governor Bryan to relieve him of the office while the court cases were being fought out. The governor suspended him and placed E. P. Stewart in charge. Later Quinton was convicted of some of the charges and removed from office by a district court order. He fought that order in supreme court, but was defeated. Meanwhile he held on to the coun ty building, and Sheriff Stewart brought an action to restrain him from interfering in any way. The injunction was made permanent by the district court, and Quinton again appealed, contending that while his appeal from the order of removal by the district court was pending he could continue to hold office. His attorneys contended that SUFFERS INJURED HAND From Monday's Daily Frank Koubek, ,one of the em ployes at the machine shops at the local Burlington shop, is wearing the third finger of his right hand in a bandage as the result of a very severe accident that occurred Sat urday at the shops.
