THE wATHESA USPLEAsASrSEss.-The wathena row
becomes interesting with age. In last we stat
ed that the Mayor and his party refused obey the
junction of Judge Hubbard and would recognize neither
Therrett Brady Councilman leaving the thing in
bad shape before. H. D. Hunt had been appointed
City Clerk by the Mayor but had been confirmed
by legal majority Of the Council and the opposing party
pay orders drawn by him. On Saturday application
made to Esquire SOper of Troy for order de-
mand the city records and books Of Hunt who refused to
deliver them up. warrant then issued for Hunts
arrest and the Constable lodged him in jail Monday
morning he taken before Esquire Soper and refused
answer where the books werei thereupOn he
mtted jail for contempt of Court At this point Hunts
attorney filed affidavit for change of venue which
the opposing counsel inerpOsed the objection that Hun
was in Jail for contempt of Court and that of
tempt could be changed another Court than the
in which had been committed. The Justice de-
cided the question, and dismissed the affidavit Then
Hunts attorney applied Judge Wilkinson of the Pro
bate Court for 4 writ of HGbeas Corpus which
gued until Monday mindight. The Judge. Tuesday
morning refused the writ and Hunt still anguisbes in
the baste.
Up to the present writing, it looks if the Mayors
party and their legal advisors had got their foot into it.
1t would to the mysteries of law that the
decision Of District Judge ID binding than act
of Justice of the Peace the advice of lawyer and
that 1t would be good policy obey the former until it
set aside in a lawful manner.
