Once again the cases against Newman
and Mrs. Bertha Fairbanks obtruded
themselves on the public yesterday,
when j. S. Potter. justice of the peace
at South Saltwater, came to the city to
sit in Judgment. Justice Potter, how
ever, finally decided with apparent
qualification to himself, that under the
law he had no jurisdiction save in
South Saltwater or in an adjoining
election district, and that the town of
Saltwater interpoSed an election dis
trict between South Saltwater and the
city. The court also forestalled any
move toward asking him to try the case
in his own Jurisdiction by deciding that
the matter was illegally removed from
Justice Secrest'S court in which the
warrants for arrest were first returned.
After these rulings of the court, all
hands posted off to South Saltwater for
the purpose of having it out with JUS
tice Secrest, from whom defendants
had once sworn the case away, but he
refused to again tackle the matter, and
the defendants went home to await fur
Uher developments. Mr.. Marsh, ignor-
ing the county attorney, went to South
Saltwater to move dismissal of the
complaints, has moved alone in the
prosecution, and purposely avoided the
Saltwater municipal court. He now
says that, provided the county attorney
will agree not to move for dismissal,
he will swear out new warrants return
able before the municipal court.
