"-i! t your county Judgo Ih a legal-
o" Hfled offlcor of Crook county,"
are tho words with which ho con
cludes his opinion.
Tlio opinion Is roudorcd In answer
n lomiPHt from District Attorney
Wlrtz and Judgo Springer. They
f'.-it n Joint stipulation of fads to
t'-o Dttorney general, Wlrtz holding
i Springer, hecauso of resldenco

1 tho attornoy generals decision. If
iVIrtz' contentions woro upholil,
S-irlngor would resign, othorwlsn.
thero would ho no ouster proceedings
It. is understood.
In tho. stipulation It Is recited thnt

After reciting this fact, tho nttor-
iey ceneral continues. "Honco ho linii

hundred dollars. Tho commltteo
recommended that this bo dono on
tho expectation thnt tho county would
enrry tho road across tho lavn and
tho road districts to tho south put It

tho suggestion was mado that tho

til some Iden could ho obtained as
to whethor tho county court would
tnko caro of tho lavn work. It was
nlso advised that an Inspection of

tion of tho road near his ranch nnd
