THE RED WILLOW COUNTY CASE.
The supreme court of Nebraska , yes
terday , handed down an opinion in the
case of the state ex rel. Wilcox vs.
Crabtree , allowing a writ of madamus
compelling the board of Red Willow
county to call a special election for the
relocation of the county seat. Mr.
Justice Norval wrote the opinion , the
syllabus being as follows :
The report of a referee on a question of
fact has the same effect as the verdict of a
jury and will not be set aside as being against
tiie weight of evidence unless it is clearly
wrong.
2. A petition was presented to the board
of county commissioners efKed Willow coun-
tv purporting to be signed by 1,531 resident
electors of the county requesting said board
to call a special election tor the relocation of
the county seat , which petition contained a
statement of all the matters required to be
set out therein , by section 1 , article 3 , chapter
17 , compiled statutes. Subsequently during
the pendency of said petition a remonstrance
was filed with said board against the calling
of an election and also iiled a petition signed
by 285 of the persons who had previously
signed the petition requesting that their
names be stricken therefrom. After deduct
ing all who were disqualified petitioners and
those who had withdrawn their names the
petition was signed by 1,106 resident electors
of said county , which exceeded in number
three-fifths of all the votes cast in said coun
ty at the preceding general election. The
county board denied the petition. Held that
the duty to call the election being enjoined
by law , the mandamus will lie to enforce the
performance of the same.
3. The relater is entitled to costs against
the county.
Persons who have failed in the at
tempt , claim that it is impossible to
