New Court of Appeals Judges.

Denver-Governor Shafroth has
filed with the secretary of state his
appointments to the new Court of Ap-
peals authorized by the last session
of the Legislature.
There were more than 100 cand'-
dates for the five judicial positions
each being a prominent lawyer in Col
orado. The governor has had all these
candidates under consideration for
three months, and his announcement of
the five men is the result of long
study.
The five men the governor has ap-
pointed to the Court of Appeals are
among the best known lawyers in Col
orado. Each of them is resident OF
the state for many years and of va
ried experience in law.
Tully Scott of Cripple Creek has
been named as presiding judge of the
new court.
The other judges appointed by the
governor are: Alfred r. King, Esq,
of Delta, Delta county, Colo; Stuart
D. Walling, Esq. of the city and coun-
ty of Denver, Colo; Edwin w. Hurl-
but, Esq, of the city and county of
Denver, Colo, and Louis w. Cunning
ham, Esq, of Colorado Springs, Ell
Paso county, Colo.
The Court of Appeals will. on Octo-
ber 1, when it's members assume Of
flee, begin on the back calendar Of
the Supreme Court. 1t will not fo:'
the present, in all probability, assume
any of the new business of the Su-
preme Court, but will clear up the
docket and then it takes up it's duty,
handling a part of the work that now
comes to the Supreme Court

Nc Money to Fight Scabies.

Denver.-An appropriation made by
the state Legislature to be used in
joining with the federal officers in
fighting the spread of cow mango or
scabies in this state is unavailable be-
cause of the crippled condition OF the
states finances. The appropriation
amounts to $4,000 and cattle men
who were instrumental in getting the
bill through the Legislature believed
that if properly expended it could do
much to put a stop to this cattle scour-
age. Now the new state veterinarian
is readp to begin work and the money
is not available. The appropriation
has been placed in the fourth class
which is for the present class from
which no appropriations will be paid.
1t is likely that money will not be
available to pay this class of appro-
priations for year if it ever becomes
available, and meanwhile Colorado
will have to depend upon the efforts
of the federal stock inspectors to fight
the cattle mango.
