George H. Whitcomb of Topeka, Kan., was appointed March 22, by Governor Stubbs, judge of the second division of Shawnee County District Court, an office created by the last legislature. The Topeka Daily Capital says: "The Whitcomb appointment is looked upon as a popular one. He is a leader among the attorneys of Shawnee county, and the bar association of the county was almost solid in its endorsement of him for the place."
