while there was some hesitancy about
establishing anything simpler with

prescribed. there was no positive oppo-
sltion to it: and the pressure brought
to bear by earnest friends of the Chau-

The Right Kind Of NeighbOrs

While looking after the interest OF
the GRAPHIC on last Tuesday We rode
up to a house about I miles east OF
Greentop and found about a dozen men
hard at work choppIng and splitting
stove wood. We soon learned from
them that it was SURF rise party: tha,
they had been after timber with teams
and cut and loaded eIgh wagons drove
them TO the house of Mrs Jane Huckens
Ia widow and threw the wood off and
prepared it ali for the Stove before
leaving. We were not acquainted
personally with any OF the gentlemen
dong the work but they looked like
good, honest, industrious farmers, and
we guarantee that is a neighborhool !

PETTY OFFENSES.
Cases That Cost Taxpayers Money.

1t is a notorious fact that large number
of petty cases, examined during the course
of the year before the different justices @
the peace Of the county do annually cos
the tan. PAYERS of the county considerable
money. Often these cases are brought be-
fore Justice Of the peace through no othe'
motive than spite or TO wreak petty re-
venge, and as genera al rule they are dismiss
sed, after undergoing an examination, the
costs OF which are almost invariably taxed
to the county, and tor which bills are made
out and presented to the county commits
missioners for payment. This is wrong
for which there should be remedy.
A case to illustrate how these petty cases
often cost the people plenty Of money with
out resulting in the punishment ot offend
ers or correcting minor misdemeanors came
up before the board OF County Commits
sioners at their late meeting when bill Of
costs was asked to BE- allowed. a citizen ot
Glendale had been arrested ON the charge
of stealing faucet from beer key, worth
1t was stated, $l.so. The Case was investi.
gated before Glendale justice and the de-
PENDANT discharged, but a bill! of costs that
amounted to $500 was presented to the
Commissioners and payment asked. The
AOIllIllSStOuCISs Aot bNNSO.IS SAlAotONsOsy "
themselves, rejected the bill.
OF the merits Of this particular case we
are not fully advised, aud only refer to it to
show how liable the county is to pay large
bills OF cost growing out Of Insignificant
cases, instituted Tor the mere qualification OF
spite. The Glendale Justice, doubtless,
made out his bill Of costs in conformity to
law, but taxpayers will think it decidedly
extravagant aud unreasonable topay $500
out Of the county treasury in case where
an ordinary dollar.and. half faucet for u beer
keg is lost or stolen.
Another thing in relation to these petty
crimes and ,nisdcmcanors is worthy OF con-
sideration in an economic point. Many
cases are examined before justices and the
parties held to appear before the grand ,ar,y
at the next term OF District Court that
could be tried and disposed Of in the Pro.
bate Court. Under our statutes the Pro.
bate Court has jurisdiction to try cases and
punish Offenders where justices Of the
peace can only hold preliminary examina-
tons and bind defendants over to the Dis.
trict Court, where the time Of the grand
jury and court is often occupied in hearing
cases that should be brought before the
Probate Court and disposed of instead Of
being heard BY a committing magistrate
with authority only to make preliminary
examination. Much exp.ns. coald be saved
10 the people Ii all eases over which the
Probate Court has Jurisdiction were tried
IN that court instead Of being sent up to the
District Court for trial.
