Contested County Commissioner Seat in Orange County

In 1890 Lewis Brown's term neared end. John W. Ellis, Republican, won the seat but fell ill and died after being sworn in. Seth Stratton was appointed to fill the vacancy on January 1, 1902, prompting a legal contest by Brown claiming Ellis was not legally qualified and that Brown held over. The case, set for October 28 after delays, centers on who may hold the office for the remainder of Ellis' term. Democrats challenge Ellis's oath, with many lawyers, including T. J. Brooks for Stratton, involved.
