Wolfe of phiis ely to succeed the late Judge Arthur J Sunbornne as federal judge of the Western District of Wisconsin.

Ceiger of the Eastern District will preside in the Western District until a successor is appointed. It is probable Judge Ceiger will come to La Crosse next month to preside, barring conflicts in the Eastern District.
