““In the absence of a specific provision regarding Justice Courts this language of section 95-2413, R.C.M. 1947, is applicable: “(a) Filing. Papers required or permitted to be filed must be placed in custody of the clerk within the time fixed for filing. Filing may be accomplished by mail addressed to the clerk, but filing shall not be timely unless the papers are actually received within the time fixed for filing.”
