by the laws of the Territory of ok

the duties and compensation of the
probate judge under such laws shall
devolve upon and belong to the
judge of the county court; Provided,
that the term Of office of those elect
ed at the time Of the adoption of
this constitution, or first appointed
under the provisions of the laws ex-
tended in force in the state, shall
expire on the second Monday of jan
uary, in the year 1911; And provid-
ed further, the county attorneys and

several counties of the state, having
a population Of more than twenty
