was to secure an agreement for pay for
the overtime. The: machinists say that

NOVEL LEGAL POINT PRESENTED

Democratic Attorneys Contend That the
Law Creating the Elective Commits

Constitution-Would Have Governor

Their argument is that the elective
Offices of the state are provided for in
the constitution, and that all other
state officers must be appointed by the
governor, under the authority conferred !
by Section 4 of Article 5 of the con-
stitution, which says: -a~
He shall have power, by and with the
consent Of the senate, to appoint state
librarian and notaries public, and such
other officers as may be provided by law. |
The constitution provides for. the
governor, secretary of state, auditor,
! treasurer and attorney general, who are
executive officers, and for the election
of the Justices of the supreme court
and the clerk Of that court. There is
no constitutional authority for the rail
road and warehouse commission. The
commission was appointed by the gov,
a new commission, to be elected by the
people. This statute, it is claimed, is
Unconstitutional because of the author
ity given the governor to appoint
".such other officers as may be pro-
vided by law. ~
This point created quite sensation
in the circles of the democratic admin:
came to the consideration Of T. D;
O'Brien, insurance commissioner, and
the governors chief legal adviser, it
got quite a dash Of cold water. Mr..
O'Brien, after an examination of the
subject, decided that there was no merit
in the contention. He held that the
legislature had the right to make any
office elective that was not otherwise
provided for by the constitution. The
appointive power given the governor
for "such other officers as may be pro-
vided by law,' only means that he
shall appoint other officers when given
authority by the legislature to make
the appointments.
- Appealed to Young.
The adverse opinion of the insurance
commissioner settled the question in
the mind of Governor Johnson, but it
did not satisfy the attorneys who had
: raised the point. They found that the

FATAL FIGHT between
A HORSE AND BULL

A fierce struggle between a horse and
bull occurred on the Luhrs ranch
some time last Monday night, which re-
suited in the death of the horse and a
badly disfigured bull, says the Gerdner-
vile Record.
The two animals in some manner got
into the same corral and it is thought
that the buh, being very vicious, at
tackled the horse and the latter, unable
to make it's escape from the enclosure,
was finally gored to death. The ground
in the corral was badly torn up ana
this, coupled with the fact that one an
imal is dead and the other considerably
injured, would indicate that a very
fierce struggle must have been waged
between the two animals.
This is probably the first instance
where horse and a bull have engaged
in a real battle and one having a fatal
conclusion. The morse was very valu-
able animal and quite large and power
full.
