DIVISION OF THE TIsIa JUDICIAL DISTRICT

Senator Patterson of Chotcau

auses brought before the court, and
the great area OF the district as at
present constituted
We are hardly able to express an
opinion As to the first reason give en-. ID
is undoubtedly true that the business
of the courts is ut present considerably
congested. luasmuch as criminal cases
take precedence of civil, the latter class
of business has been neglected during
the year. The district was without a
judge for some time, and when Judge
Tattan was appointed his time was
pretty well occupied in the disposal of
criminal eases, of which there was n
large number during his incumbency
of the Office. lie really had but little
time for the hearing of civil causes.
There are a great many eases now
pending and undetermined; also, the
business of the district is Increasing 80
fast that there may bc more wovk than
zone Judge can well do. There were ts5
cases civil and criminal filed in the
district for the year 1900, In Fergus
county there we're 81, of which II were
civil. Choteau had ~, with a far
larger proportion of criminal cases.
The criminal cases have been disposed
of without delay, but a large proper
ton Of the civil cases, in this county at
least, are still pending.

Gates that, even il the change is not
necessary at present, it will be ere
long. There will undoubtedly be a
large increase in this county Of litiga-
ton over water and mining rights in
the near future. As the population
of the county increases the number OF
criminal cases is likely to become
greater.
II seems likely that the division Of
the district will be necessary in a short
time, in any event, and therefore WI
are inclined TO think the bill Il wise
one. So far as this county is concerned
the expense will not be increased 10y

themselves on this matter. The Havr'

sold Pop" Kirchman Drew Faces of
Those Who Owed Him.
From the New York Sun


For over twenty-five years Albert Kirch-
man and his good wife Maria ran a little
French restaurant at 1872 West One Hun
dredth street, just one door east of the
One Hundredth street police station.
Kirchman acted in the dual capacity OF
waiter and cashier, while his wife looked
after the menu. AS the years went by
the fame of Mrs. Kirchman's dainty
French dishes went around throughout
the neighborhood and customers hocked
to the quaint little place. For a time the
couple prospered and even managed to
send a little money to the people at home
in France.
"Old Pop" as Kirchman was best known
to his customers, could neither read nor
write and had to call on his friends when
he had any little writing to do. His wife's
education had been as neglected as his
own.
Two or three years ago the customers
noticed that the look Of prosperity about
the place was fast disappearing, but "Old
Pop kept up his smile and confined his
iovial ways Business was as good as
ever, he said, but somehow thing did not

license, because, he said, money was
