Orr Appointed Probate Judge.

Governor Stubbs has appOinted
James Orr CNot the Democratic states
man from Atchison) judge of the pro-
bate court Of johnson county in place
of Judge Long, deceased. The funny
thing about this appointment is that
there was quite contest for the place
in spite of the fact that the new ap-
pointee has only four weeks to serve,
as the candidate elected to this place
last month takes his office early in
January. It is likely that the governor
would have appointed the probate
judge elect to the place but for the
fact that he is now serving out his
term as county commissioner.
