County Court.

Court reconvened on Tuesday morn
ing and trial of the case Barton 5. b.
and T. Company VS.. L. Stephenson to
recover payment on certa1n note
held by plaintiffs against the defend
ants for $1,000 was resumed. The de-
fendant Stephenson testified that he
changed the date of the note in ques-
tion to Dec. /. 1908. just before he
mailed it t. the bank in March, 1909,
wishing thereby to show the date at
which interest thereon should begin
to accrue. The plaintiffs testimony
tended to show that the note was
not signed by any of the defendenta
until after the first day of December.
Plaintiffs testimony also tended to
show that Stephenson, Tlllotson,
Richardson and 8rahana met the direct.
ors at the bank on July l, 1911, and
examined the note at that time and
expressed a willingness to pay it. also
that afterward the signers among
themselves tried to arrange for pay
ment of the note and requested toe
bank to bring suit. The defendants
swore that they did not see the note
on July ] and that they did not know
the date had been changed until after
suit had been brought. The court
charged that the change in date of
the note was a material alteration.
If it was made by Stephenson after
the note was signed by all defend
ants it released all who did not con.
sent to the change or subsequently
ratify it. That as to those defend
ants who were at the Bank July l, If
they saw the note and examined 1t so
as to know the date was changed and
with that knowledge expressed a
willingness to pay it. they ratified it,
but unless they knew of the change
in date, they did not ratify it.
The case was very ably argued by
counsel for both sides. The verdict
of the jury sustained the claims of
the defendant signers and declared
them not liable on the note by reason
of it's having been changed. Excep-
tions were taken to the courts ruling
and the case will be taken to rh e
Supreme court. The next case was
that of state vs.. Eta Lake, adultery.
i States Attorney w. M. Wright for the
state and w. A. Dane assigned for
the respondent. States evidence
| tended to show that the respondent
came from South Bolton in Canada
| last September and had been at the
house of one Wood in West Derby.
where she lived with Elwin Whiteheac
as man and wife. Respondents testl
mony tenCed to show that she was
housekeeper for Whitehead only, anc
that he paid her regular wages. Al
this writing the jury has the case.

INTERESTING POINT IS RAISED
~ WORKINGS OF PRIMARY
LAW
No Provision Made for the Name Of
County Judge on the Ballots In Bill
That Was Passed.

Candidates for probate judge In
North Dakota are at a loss to know
how to get their names on the primary
ballot, and unless the courts make
provision for placing such names on
the printed ballots the present judges
may have to remain in Office until the
law is changed Clerks of court also
have been omitted from the list of
candidates mentioned in. the statutes
for having their names put in the
publicity pamphlet provided for at
the last session of the legislature, and
the aid of the courts must be invoked
here or they will not be able to get
their candidacy before the people, ex.
cepting by personal endeavor.
When the present primary laws
were passed in 1911, provisions were
made for each candidate for county Of
fee to enter the race and sample BAL
lots were incorporated into the ses
sion laws. However, in these there
appears no space for the probate
Judge. The fault was discovered today
for the first time. Some declare tha
judges in Office must hold over until
the laws are remedied, while others
contend the supreme court must set
tie the matter. The law states spe-
officially that a Judge must remain in
office until his regularly elected sue
cessor shall have been duly installed.
Secretary of State p. D. Norton to-
day said he had compared the printed
law and the enrolled bill and found
