The new Justices have already picked out comfortable - fortablo quarters In which to establish their courts Justice Learn has taken an office on the fourth lloor of the 1'axton block , Justice Crawford expects to move into the olllco oc cupied now by Justice Poster and Justice Alstadt Is undecided between quarters In the I'axton block and others In the Karbach building There Is some question among the retiring Justices as to the proper way of disposing of their dockets The law'provided that these shall bo turned over to their successors , hut there Is a question In the mlnels of each re- tiling justice as to which of the three newly clcvtc'd men Is hit ) particular successor. The drawback about handing their dockets to the county commissioners Is that each retiring Justice considers himself responsible for the cases now boforn him and If some arc dls- continued or lost In the exchange ho might bo liable. Justice Klnkcad Intends to avoid 1 ajiy danger of trouble by asking the county commissioners to appoint his successor 1m- mediately nnd then accepting a receipt for his docket from the commissioners and his successor.
