Who IL Mandan judge?

Mandan, N. D., May 23.-Whether
tice of the peace, is a question. c. e.
Niles was elected justice at the cleo
ton held April 5. c. P. Thurston has
been justice for four years and he
contends that he is still, for the rea-
son that Mr.. Niles has not qualified
properly. Niles has gone through the
process of qualification, his bonds
have been approved, and President
Packard of the city commission thinks
he is justice, but there is a question
as to whether Niles qualified in the
time required by law. Thurston will
not give up the books of the local
justice court, and while Niles is away
this week, he thinks he is justice,
and there you are.
The question: first arose on We'd
nesday when Thurston was trying the
sweeney assault case. President
Packard accused him OF holding court
when he was not a justice of the
peace, Attorney Broderick, who was
prosecuting the case in the absence
of States Attorney Hanley and AS
sistant States Attorney Sullivan, held
that Thurston was still justice, that
he holds over until his successor is
duly qualified, and from the difference
in opinion a heated argument arose
and still continues, having by this
time incorporated many minds in de-
failing the matter.

sued by Governor Deneen of Illinois,

Rupert will be returned to face the
charge that is brought against him.
Rupert had operated a store in the
Illinois town before coming to North
Dakota some time ago. He had some
trouble with his wife, having resulted
II is said, from first having difficulty
with Mrs Rupert's father, who is a
rich contractor in Chicago. Rupert
had evidently been backed in business
by his father-in-law, and a misunder-
standing created the trouble. Hence
the desertion charge Is but a circum-
stance that arose from the other diff

Since coming to Morton county,
Rupert has been a good citizen and
