by their friends. After supper about
fiftv took the floor for an hour and en-
joyed a social dance, young men and
maidens, with quite number Of silver
grays, which all enjoyed much. Good
music was furnished by Fred Rolf and
Mrs. Shean. The play furnished by

THE DISTRICT JUOGESH|P
Gueeses as to Who Will Succeed
Judge Brantly.
MANY ARE LOOKING FOR IT
Granite County Understood To Have
Three Candidates-Deer Lodge
County Presents Four-Talk
of Judge Pemberton.

As the time draws nearer for the
newly elected officers to assume their
new duties. interest grows in the mat
ter of the judgeship OF the Third
judicial district. Judge Brantly. hav-
ing been elected to the Office of chief
justice of the supreme court. will as
sumo his office in two weeks. n the
bench Of this district will be left with
out a judge.
that Judge Brantly had been success
full. several Of the members of the local
bar began to set their caps for the ap-
pointment as judge. So far. no intima-
ton has been received here as to whom
Governor Smith will select to I'LL the
vacancy caused by the retirement OF
Judge Brantly.
The Third judicial district includes
Deer Lodge and Granite counties. the
district judge alternating between Ana
conda and Philipsburg. devotlng a por-
tion OF the time to each county. 1t is
understood that Granite county has
three candidates for the judgeship and
hat Deer Lodge county has four. The
three lawyers Of frantic that are a
90 he aspirants for the place are Judge
ID. NJ. Durfee. formerly judge of the
district. Judge Brown and Hiram
Rodgers. who is now county attorney
of Granite county. Mr.. Rodgers Is a
brother of United States District Attor-
ney w. II. Rodgers. The latter Is a
Mckinley republican. but Hiram stands
by the good old democratic faith.
The Deer Lodge county gentlemen
most prominently mentioned In con-
nection with the judgeship are w. ii.
Trippet. at present county attorney.
Col. T. O'Leary. city attorney OF Ana
conda. j. X. Boarman and Welling
Napton. the latter of Deer Lodge.
Their is also considerable talk about
Judge w. Y. Pemberton. the present
chief Justice OF the supreme court. In
certain circles II Is the gossip that
Governor Smith will appoint Judge
Pemberton 10 succeed Judge Brantly.
Such n course Is not a usual one. but
the circumstances surrounding the sue
cession are such that many consider
such an appointment perfectly proper.
As a general thing. in this city. how
ever. the belief revails that Governor
Smith will not go outside the district
for a successor to Judge Brantly.
Some of the candidates for the Third
district bench have circulated petitions
which are now in the hands Of the
governor.
A gentleman who came over from
Helena last week said that he had IL
on good authority that Governor Smith
would announce the new judges name
about Dec. 26. Until that time. II is
likely that everybody will be no wiser
than they are at present.
