It was insisted upon the argument that the judgment in contempt ‍​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‍was not appealable; State v. Davis, 2 North Dakota, 461; but it was conceded that the validity of the law and of thp sentence could be tested ‍​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‍by the Supreme Court of the State on certiorari or habeas corpus, and no reason was suggested why, if the judgment of the District Court was the final judgment of ‍​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‍the highest court of the State in which a decision in the matter could be had, a writ of error from this court might not ‍​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‍be applied for.

Without considering the merits of the questions discussed, the judgment must be affirmed upon the authority of Ex parte Fonda, 117 U. S. 516; In re ‍​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‍Wood, 140 U. S. 278; Cook v. Hart, 146 U. S. 183; New York v. Eno, ante, 89, and cases cited.

Judgment affirmed.
