Greenwalt Retain. HII Office.
On the convening of the new
county board Tuesday , Geo.
Greenwalt , the old member was
nllowed to retain his scat as' a
hold over. Mr. Roy Welch the
supervisor elect , was present to
claim his rights , but the old
board was three to two against
'him politically , a contest was
useless. Mr. Greenwalt had filed
a hold over bond and Mr.Velch
had filed his bond , 'both of which
were approved.
The cause of the contention is
the uncertainty of the new law
passed last winter. It provided
for extending the term of Supervisors -
visors and Register of Deeds one
year. 8upreme Court Commissioner -
sioner Letton , to whom the question -
tion was relerred' held the law
was legal , but when his opinion
was submitted to the judges of
the Supreme Court , Chief Justice
Holcomb and Judge Barnes toole ,
a different view , the Chief Justice -
tice handing down the decision I
that the law was not coustitu- ,
'
tional , Judge Sedwick cHssenttng.
ince then Judge Letton has
been elected Justice of the Sue
preme Court to succeed Judge
Holcomb , whose time expired the
first of the year. The holdover
officers see a possible chance with
the chimge of tbe personal of the
court to get a favorable decidiop
and steps bave been taken to
have the case reviewed by the
supreme court with the hopes of
having Judge Holcombs decisi n
reversed.
The ituation is the same witb
C , O. Lind , tbe outgoing regis-
tcr of deeds and Jobn T. Wood ,
register of deeds elect. We
understand an agreement Wf..S
entered into between the contending -
tending parties in both instances
that should the fonner opinion
of the supreme court be sustained
the old officers will quietly va-
cate.
Should the former decision be
reversed the election of register
of deeds and supervisors will be
void and the old officers will hold
until 1907. This will require the
election of a register of deeds
this fall and an entire new board
of supervisors.
The terms of G. H. Thorpe ,
H. B. Schneringer , J. T. Arthur ,
and B. P. Morris will expire Jnn.
1 , 1907 , by limitation.
The terms of A. Fonda , Joe
Fennimore , who were reelected
last fall for two years , will only
hold over , by tbe terms of the
new law , for the year , their elec.
tion being void : Geo. Green.
walt , although defented for re.
election will bold over for the
t year only. Thus it will be secn
that sbould the new law be held
good that by the terms of limita.
. tion and legi lntion tbere will be
, seven supervisors t.9 .elect this
? faU , register of deeds and county
'r . attorney besides the state officers.

mother , sister , brother and many
other relative\ Custer county ,

mourn their loss of a dear departed -
parted loved one.
Her affiiction was dropsey and
heart complicntions. Everything
was done for her that could be
done by willing hands and anxious -
ious hearts. Her last weeks of
suffering were made more endurable -
: able by the sweet helping hnnd
of a loving mother who came the
long journey from Seattle , Wash.

ing help only a mother can give ,
I
and was a constant helper and
comforter during the last five
weelcs of sickness.
She was hopeful to the last
