ELECTED JUSTICE; IS UNABLE TO QUALIFY Mr. Frank Bell, the well known Blackhorse farmer, has just completed a new dairy barn and will go into that business on a more extensive scale. Mr. Bell is milking about fifteen cows at the present time but will increase his herd. EOR OFFICE (Condon Globe.) It is not often that a man is elected to office only to find that he cannot qualify as such officer, yet that is the recent experience of Alex Wilson of Wjllow Creek precinct in this county. Mr. Wilson was elected as Justice of the Peace in his precinct at the last election and his election was un animous, having no opposition. Ho sent in his oath of office together with his bond to the County Clerk. Upon examination of the records it was found that Mr. Wilson, who came here from Scotland, had never applied for his citizenship papers although he de clared his intention of becoming a citizen many years ago. He was ac cordingly notified by the Clerk that he could not qualify. Under the new law approved by the voters at the last election Mr. Wilson is now not even a qualified voter. Mr. Wilson will probably make application for citizen ship papers and upon receiving these he can qualify. The papers will not be issued for ninety dnys and after the application is filed and during that time the present Justice of Willow Creek precinct will serve.
