Peculiar Omission in a reua. Law.

In printing the act of the legislature
an omission occurred in the law as to
county courts, so that there Is no pro-
vision for the appointment of II special
county judge in the event of the sick
ness or temporary absence of that
officer. In case OF vacancy by death
or resignation the commissioners
court appoints judge until the noxt
election, and II the judge is dis
qualified as to certain cases the
governor appoints member of the bar
TO try the case. II is sregarded as rath.
or serious, because in many counties
special county judges have been op-
pointed and have transacted business
during the temporary absence Of the
fudge. All orders of such special
Judges are invalid, and in ease coun-
ty Judge should be taken sick his court
must stand adjourned until he rccov-
ers or dies.
