too late to prevent her turning turtle.
There was but little sea on. and we pulled

upon the bark's bottom We had faint

Movement by the Bar.

Two Needed in the Fourteenth-Jstrone
Movement by the Bar.
CROOKSTON. MINN.-A meeting OF
the members of the, bar In the fourteenth
judicial district was held in this city last
evening for the purpose of discussing the
project of making an applica ton to the
legislature for relief from the conditions
that now prevail and that prevent the
prompt administration of Justice
The fact that the business to be han
dled by Judge Watts has become so great
that he cannot keep up with it has been
apparent for some time. The measure
proposed Is that Of asking the legisla-
ture TO rearrange the boundaries of the
district. and appoint an additional judge
TO assume a portion of the work.
1t Is understood that Judge Baxter and
the attorneys in the seventh judicial dis
trict would not be averse to having Clay
county separated from that district and
attached to the fourteenth. and the same
Is understood to be the case with regard
to Beltrami county in the fifteenth dis
trict where Judge McC'lenahan presides.
This would add considerably to the bus
, 1ness of this district and would make
enough to keep two judges busy.
AS relief measure and in the advance
ment of the work of the district, this is
movement that will without doubt, be
looked upon with favor by the governor
and legislature. h.
