Hellman was present, not only with his certificate of election, bat with a communication from his awyer, B. F.

He says the law required that 15 freeholders be elected; that so far as anybody knows 15 were elected and that he should not retire, thus invalidating the work of tbe board should it proceed without him. He says tbat he (Hellman) is a lawful member of the board until the court de cides that he is not, and this decision cannot be brought about except by the attorney-general of tbe state bringing the matter before the supreme court and this, he can only do npon the pe tition of citizens.
