This original proceeding was initiated by the petitioner, Glenn E. Bandelin, who filed in this Court a verified application
for a writ of review of an order of the District Court of the First Judicial District, Bonner County, whereby the petitioner
was adJudged guilty of contempt of court and fined in the amount of $500.00. The petitioner's application, which alleged that
the district court had exceeded its jurisdiction, was granted by this Court, and the requested writ was subsequently issued. On December 19, 1968, the petitioner, a member of the bar of this state, was appointed guardian for Muriel I. Talbot, who
had been adJudged incompetent on that same day. On July 19, 1971, with First Judicial District Judge James G. Towles presiding,

the Bonner County prosecuting attorney to initiate contempt proceedings against the petitioner under the following provisions
of the Idaho Code of Civil Procedure:
