TWO APPEAL CASES CAUSED BY POLICE MAGISTRATE LITIGATION. Says That Neither J. A. LeClaire or C. H.

Hubbell Has the Power of Executing the Laws and Distributing Justice--Jurisdiction of-the Courts is Questioned. The jurisdiction of the courts of J. A. LeClaire and H. Hubbell still seems be questionable and unless the police magistrate trouble is settled soon some big damage suits and unnecessary litigation will be the result.

People having litigation in the police court to have a police magistrate whose legality to serve in that position cannot be questioned. Friday afternoon the case of Henry Bosh Vs. Mrs. H. Cox was tried before C.

H- Hubbell. acting in tie capacity of police magistrate. The case was to have been tried in Finger's ed to sue them on their bonds if they did so. The result is that Hanley's client is still in possession of the property and promises to stay there until the expiration of his lease next April without the payment of rent, IVif. O'Hara claims that foe has been eject- el by authority of the owner of the house and therefore dosn't have to pay any rent.

Attorney Hanley states that he will appeal the case. Thus it will be seen that under the existing state of affairs an attorney is able to play a smooth game in the interests of his client. The trouble should be speedily settled so that the jurisdiction of the court may be unquestionable. MAGAZINES STOLEN THEY ARE TAKEN FROM PUBLIC LIBRARY, DEN DISSATISFACTION.
