Yesterday Judge Gardner rendered
an important decision on the school law
passed at the last session of the legisla-
ture. In rendering the decision Judge

ton, which provides that the judicial
powers of the state shall be vested in =
supreme court. circuit courts, county
courts. justices Of the peace and such
other courts as may be created by law
for cities and incorporate towns. The
case before the court was that Of the
Rockford school township, Of which
mention has been made in the Journal.

of the district school board to the coun-
ty superintendent as provided by the
school law, and the case was removed to

tion. Judge Gardner held that the

A man riding up Custer Avenue as
hard as his horse could run and
shouting that dreaded word Fire" with
every breadth, was a sight and sound
which considerably alarmed Custer
people last Saturday afternoon. E. p.
Walsh was the excited horseman, and
after attracting quite crowd he stopped
and explained that the timber fire
which has been raging a few miles east
Of town for several weeks, had got be-
yond the control of the ranchers and
was threatening the destruction Of the
buildings on the Gundlach ranch. A
party Of men equipped with rakes.
shovels, etc.. was promptly made up
and they we're driven to the scene Of
tho flames which were making such
havoc in the timber. The men got be-
tween the fire and the endangered
property, and after clearing the ground
of the pine needles and underbrush
which promised to feed the fiery ele-
ment, they started back fires. The
course Of the big fire was thus diverted
for the time being. and the boys re
turned home worn out, but having thu
satisfaction of knowing that they hat
saved hundreds of dollars worth o.
