A few days ago Hon. Jim S. GRAY,
Senator from Ada, promised your
District Judge, Mr.. S,ockslaser, that
he would, at the earliest opportunity,
put through bill to relieve the dead.
lock in the District Courts BY EN-.
power'ng the judges elected .. the
last general election 10 act. Mr..
Cray kept his word by introducing in
thu Senate. to-day, aud having passed
I" "der a suspension Of the rules a bill
authorizing the judges of any judicial
district to appoint q competent per-
son to act as clerk Of court Whenever a
vacancy may exist in the office. The
bull will probably pass the House OF
Representatives to morrow, and be
signed by the Governor as soon as it
shall be presented to him. as it is &C.
tuaI'y indispensable to the transaction
of business in the District Courts. the
admission Of tie S ate of Idaho and
consequent sss, mpt on Of sovereignty
having practically vacated .ll our iu.
diciaI Offices.
Judge Stockslager has already
stated that he would appoint clerks of
his court the four county clerks al
ready elected in his district; and the

members OF the legislature that a
great injustice was done you at thu

cannot say at present; nor can, in
act, anybody here with whom have

cme,hiny will be done is certain.
