great regularity almost daily. The scandalous
affair has been gossiped about for weeks, and

that the wife is insane. Last summer she was
frequently seen sitting in q shady nook, with
the coachman by her side. othcr manifesta-
tons of her regard for the driver have haen

Important to Settlers.

very important decision Of great interest r.

peen heid TO distant counties. The matter was
pushed through by Delegate RAYMOND. who
Was very earnest and active in getting the sec
1stsfS Or the interior TO take it up and make an
early decision. The secretary discusses the
status OF clerks of courts in counties. He bolds
that the statutes in Dakota provide for the an
pointment of such clerks and prescribes their
duties. He says that the act of 1877 in its Ian
gtaSe, IN his absence, T" contemplates the abb
senee OF a Judge, whether any court has been
heio ~ the county or not. He
holds that absence from the county on the part
or a Judge applies to new counties where no
courts have been held, as well as counties
where courts have been held. The result is
that clerks in new counties can take proof in
land cases. This view IS sustained by a de.
cision of Judge Edgerton, the question hav-
ing been raised before him on q melton to auash
an indictment on the ground that the perjury
complained of was taken before q clerk Of the
