jury law regarding the exemption of one
half of the active members, together with
the officers OF company, is creating
much bad feeling among the fremen of
this State. The law in this particular is
equivocal and imperfect as it does not
show how jurors shall be selected. The
| fremen here decline to submit to one
man selecting who shall serve. AS we
understand it they decline allowing the
| District Judge the power to specify ex-
emptions until the affair is definitely
! settled in the Supreme Court. lis q
much vexed question which would puz-
| zle Blackstone to define. From lead
ing members of the fire department here,
We learn that if the law is carried out as
it now reads, the companies in this town
will disband. Exemption among the
fire boys has become chronic, and it, the
last of their rights, they will not part
with.
