COURT At MED0RA 14TH
NEW COUNTY OFFICIALS {

Things are still boiling in Billings
county. The commissioners, W. H.
Hanson, John Tester and E. D. Peck,
were in session this week. Attorney L.
A. Simpson appeared for Charles Nc
Closky of Sentinel Butte, now in Golden
Valley, asking that his bond be accept
cd and he be allowed to qualify as reg
lister Of deeds in Billings county.
States Attorney ]. X. Swihart would
not give his approval and the BOARD
appeared to feel the same about the
matter. Judge Crawford will now be
asked to approve the bond, but that
will not give him the office which Geo.
Burgess now holds. Attorney T. D.
Casey was also present in the interest
of Nels Nichols. who claims right to
the Office. Mr.. Casey seemed pleased
that the board declined to-accept the
McClosky bond. However, the friends
of Mr.. Burgess think now that his
chances are good for holding over.
1t was generally understood early in
the week that Commissioner Tester
would resign and take the appointment
Of county treasurer. an Office Mr.. Arnold
has held for four years. In this event
it was believed that Austin Mead
would be appointed commissioner for
the first district. -
Attorney w. F. Burnett was also in
Medora helping parties unravel some
of the tangles caused by the segregation
of Golden Valley.
Judge Crawford will convene court on
the 14th and the jurors are summoned
for the 18th. There are nearly 80 Grim
inal cases on the calendar. but if there
be objections it rs understood that the
Golden Valley cases cannot be tried at
Medora. Hence It is quite uncertain
how long the term will last, and Judge
Crawford has cases set for the 2Sth at
Dickinson. o.
The most of the state cases seem to
be old matters. John Sultone, half
breed Indian and Victor ,DeWolfe, the
Buffalo Springs burglars, are scheduled
for something at Medora.
