United States District Judge Wol verton returned from Butte, Mont., early yesterday morning, and will re main here several weeks, or at least -tluring the interim incident to the temporary lull In the land-fraud trials, after the pending case is finished. Judge Wolverton and Judge Hunt, of the district of Montana, exchanged benches about six weeks ago, and both have since experienced strenuous periods in the dispensation of Justice in their respective realms.

McKee, and declared that for the present he would make no appointment. There are quite a number of candidates for the posi tion, and at various times rumors have prevailed that one or the other was about to secure the coveted place, but Judge Wolverton pronounces these reports without foundation.
