Judge Makes Very Vital Ruling.

Judge Black of the 7th judicial dis
trict made very important ruling re-
Gently when he was called on to decide
the question of whether it was case
of perjury where a man signs another
mans name at the railroad depot
to obtain liquor or when he signs a
false name.
This is the first time that any ruling
on this question has been in any court
and it will have vital effect on a
number of alleged perjury cases which
are coming up next week in the district
court. Judge Black ruled that it was
purely case of perjury and should
oe treated as such. .-Gunnison News
