On Appellee's Motion for Rehearing.
The office of Special County Judge is statutory and temporary. There are three different methods by which title to such office may be acquired. It so happens that the Legislature mentioned what compensation whs fixed to the office in connection with providing two methods of acquiring title to it. R.C.S. Article 1933. The compensation is identical, as provided by statute, in connection with provision made for acquiring title to the office by gubernatorial appointment and by agreement of parties, and corresponds exactly with the compensation attached to the office of regular county judge. Id. This being so, and since the compensation attached to the office of Special County Judge is a mere incident to the title to such office, the fact that the Legislature made no mention of the compensation which was fixed to such office when they provided a method by which title thereto could be acquired by an election held by attorneys has no significance.
Motion refused.
