The gov ernor wrote upon three plain white j cards the words, “Two years," j “Four years," “Six years.” The three judges retired from the room and the governor placed the cards tace downward upon his table. The judges came into the room singly, and each chose a card. Judge Powell, being the youngest, was directed to choose first, and he drew the four-year , iterm. Judge Russell next came them to , , , , . Tlrit and first placed his hand upon one of the cards and then, without rais ing that one, changed his mind and took up the other, thereby drawing the two-year term. Judge Hill then took the only remaining card, which carried the six-year I term. Judge Powell, who was recently appointed by the jndges elect of the court of appeals as a committee to prepare rules for the new court, submitted his report, and the rules which will be adopted upon the i organization of the court on Jan. i, were agreed upon. Any mem ber of the bar can obtain a printed copy of these rules upon applica tion to the clerk on or after Jan. i.
