A Habeas Corpus Petition Amuses the Spectators- The Mill of Justice Went to Grind ing At a lllah Ilate of Speed The Grist Not Ground Out. Tho healing of a writ of habeas corpus liefoio Court Commissioner C.

A. Keller, Monday afternoon created somo interest In legal ei teles, aud the editors of tho Skylight Kicker repaired to the com houso at 2 o'clock to bo present when the curtains raised. Having complimentary tickets we were entitled to front seats and the pioceedings wero so Interesting that ccpt Iho 'ref2' ing the gtist.bst the'steam appeared to Iks up, and districtattorneyClark moved to dismiss the proceedings alleging that mandamus was the proper remedy for the defendants. While tho district attorney was arguing tlio motion and firing authority at the court in support of said motion, Attorney G. W.

Glowner, who represented tho defendants, Chris Jnrgo- scu aud Josa Uliavez keep whistling down blakes until the court throwed on tho brakes and ordered the prisoners brought into court. Deputy' Sheriffs Wm. Miller and C. A. Bush acted as ushers and seated them in the front row, as they also had reserved seats.

Attorney Glowner requested that one of the defendants have a seat by him, and he started to obey, when Deputy Miller pulled him back to his. seat and wouldn't let him go. This caused Attorney Glowner to use some language toward veputy Miller that was uucompllmentary to Mr. Miller, and theattorney drifted back to the dark vagcs aud asserted that tho tight of counsel to talk with the accused had never been abridged from Nero, 'the tryauU time to the present, or- words to that effect, auy way ho vvont so far back that the memory of mau runneth not to the contrary. By this time tho District Attorney concluded that Attorney Glowner's system was impregnated with alkali, and that thoy had better go ahead with their legal arguments.

The throttle was then thrown open and Attorney Glowner contended that the prisoners wero illegally restrained of their liberties by j. C. Milllgau, who had issued the warrants aud had refused an examination for a period of ten days. District Attorney Clark admitted that tho Justice of iho Peace had not followed up the but contended that a wi it of mandamus should be sued out to compel said justice to glvo tho pilsonera an examination. Tho cour after hearing the arguments pro and con took the matter under advisement until 2 o'clock p.

m. Tuesday. Ou Tuesday tho court met pursuant to adjournment and continued the matter until Friday. Habeas 20rr.ua is not only considered the highest writ, but tho most' speedy route to liberty known "to the law. Tho proceedings tlursjar hare beou novel and to the writer.
