Lanterman of Man- dan, representing a resident of Grant county, to restrain the county com- missioners from making publication of official procee@ings and other matters and notices designated as county printing, in the Shields Enterprise. the Carson Press and the New Leipzig Sentinel. The action also is purposed to re- strain the commissioners from pay- ment to the three publications of any bills for such printing. From proceedings in the case, it ap- pears that last year when the state printing Jaws went into effect the commissioners of Grant county con- tinued to make publication regularly in those papers which had been creat- ed as official papers by the county board.

This paper has had eight editors in one year it is said. In January of this year, der the old law, the county commi: sioners named the three other public tions as official newspapers, contesting the right under the law of the state printing commission speci ying where the county should spend its money for printing or where publications which the county was required to make, should be made, The case is expected to bring before the, county the entire question of the state printing commission's jurisdic- tion. The Grant county commission ers-contend they are entitled to select the official newspapers’ of. the ciunty and have decldred they will continue publishing proceedings in such news- papers as they select until the court directs’ them otherwise, Attorney John F. Sullivan of Man- dan, who is also attorney for the North Dakota Press association, has been retained by the Grant county commissioners to defend them. It is expected the case will come before one of the judges of the Sixth judicial dis- trict within a few days and will then go before the supreme court.
