Taming WiId morsas.

Therei is not a day but some horse runs
away with a buggy or wagon in this city
The animal elopes with it in a lively
manner, to the great terror of pedestri.
ans and the great destruction OF vehicles.
But there is a remedy for all this, at least
there is if the following description of
an invention, taken from a French jour.
nal, can be relied upon:
The coaehman is to have under his
seat an electromagnetic apparatus,
which he works by a little handle. One
wire is carried through the rein to the
bit and carried TO the crupper, so that q
current onc set up goes the entire
length of the animal along the spine.
A sudden shock will, we are gravely
assured, stop the most violent runaway
or the most obstinate jibber. The crea-
ture, however strong and vicious, is
" transformed into a sort Of inoffensive
horse of wood, with the feet firmly nailed
to the ground" Curiously enough, the
opposite effect may be produced by a
succession OF small shocks. Under the
influence Of these the veriest screw can
be endowed with a Vigos and FIRE indie
scribable.

Disputed Question of Legal Fees
Settled.


Disputed Question Of Legal Feea
Settled.
Some time since's lively legal fight
was had in u courts over the claim for
a large amount Of fees made by Attorney
General Wright on motions made against
delinquent ~clarksIof the courts who had
failed to enroll cases, ard who had
charged fees for such enrolment yet
never enrolled the cases. The case was
taken up to the Supreme Court and the
court a day or two since announced the
following decision:
Wright VS.. Shelby county-District Attorney
General. Costs. Enrolment Fees. Clerks.
l. Under the code, 1898, it is made
the duty Of the district attorney general
to examine the offices of the clerks of
his district, and to move against delin-
euent clerks for failure TO make enroll
ments, and for fees charged for enroll.
ments not made; aud may make the no.
tons in each case Of delinquency, and
at any term, before such motions stand
barred by the. general statute of limita.
tons for such proceedings. See also
code, 1882, subsection 10.
2. la each case the attorney general
is allowed a fee of FIVE dollars, to be
taxed as costs against the delinquent
clerk.
3, Where the execution returned nulla
bona against the clerk, then, under the
Code, 4543, 4544, 5586-7, the attorney
general is entitled to a tax fee Of 81. so 10
each motion against the county, the pro.
ceedings being in the name OF the county
trustee for the use Of the county.
4 Under the code, 5569-70, the court
or judge before whom the motions are
tried, shall certify to the correctness of
the costs in such cases, to the chairman
Of the coEnty court for payment; and on
his refusal so to do, an appeal in error
lies from the Judgment OF the court.
8, The failure OF the clerk to make the
enrolment in each case is a misdemeau-
or, but it is not necessary to proceed
against him by indictment or present
ment. The proceeding may be by mo-
ton under the code, 1928. Under the
entire proceeding, the attorney general
is entitled to his costs.
