Bozeman. May 10.-The people residing

so he got beyond his depth and was

titled to as much protection as the resi-
dents Of any other portion Of the county,
have petitioned the commissioners to
allow them an officer.

Livingston. May 10.-An anomalous
condition of affairs has been discovered

say who shall fill the offices made va
cant by the failure of the newly elected
officers to qualify? Is p. w. Nelson
whose picture is here given, chief Of
police? Is Louis Hansen nightwatch or
not? Can a mayor make valid appoint
ments when he himself has not complied
with the law making him de jure
official? If he is merely de facto execu-
tive, would his appointments hold good
as against a kick by any taxpayer? Is
he even mayor de facto, or does he hold
his Office without right If he does, upon
whom would the duty devolve to bring
quo warranto proceedings and have him
ousted? And in case he is ousted, would
the old council have the authority to pro-
coed and elect a mayor and members of
the council? These are a few questions
the people of Livingston would like to
have somebody answer for them.
In event the old council holds over. the
republicans would have a majority of
one. and consequently would be able.
should they SO desire. to elect the officers
who failed to comply with the law. Rob-
inson. of the Third. would have no vote.
for the reason that he has removed from
the ward and would be disqualified.
Still, there might be some question as
to this for the reason that the office has
never been declared vacant. but Robin
son has been suffered through the cour-
tesy of the council to retain his seat.
However, Mayor Smith at the last meet
ing. sustained an objection to Robinson's
right to vote on the electric light bill.
which action might be construed as a
declaration that a vacancy exists.

up, and a solution seems difficult to OBJ
tain.
