R. Buxton, Judge OF the probate court Of
Richland county, has been dlsbarred from
practice before the interior department. 1t is
common practice, although in violation of the
rules Of the interior department, for clerks of

In final proof cases, where the evidence In
such cases is taken before them. Usually these
officials hide their identity by using the name
OF some other attorney, but in Buxton's case It
seems that letter to an unfriendIy editor or
dering the publication of a notice Of final,
proof but without directions to conceal his
name as attorney, was the evidence used
against him. It is claimed that the attention
OF the department was called to Buxton's case
BY parties more interested in the proof business
than actuated by any desire to improve the
service.
