George Fletcher had some law experience
lately which may interest others who may
he in the same boat. He took up some estrays
q mare and a colt, last winter, which he duly
advertised, but which he reelected to have
appraised according to law. On Wednes-
day a half dozen breeds went TO his place
a I'd with force and violence and threats to
kill, took them away. Mr.. Fletcher had
them arrested and brought before Justice
Hawker. After an examination. the prop
erty was adj d to belong to the breeds,
and in consideration OF the bill of Fletcher
for expenses, the colt was given to him, but
which he neglecten to get and the conse-
auences was the colt naturally strayed OF
with thu mare and the breeds Thursday
morning. Fletcher says the colt was stolen
again, and wanted another warrant which
the justice was willing to grant, but which
the marshal refused to execute uL til he was
paid his fees. There are always two sides
to every story, but there seems to be some
funny business in this case. Some complaint
wa, m ,de that there was no states attorney
here to set matters right. There is a lax
administration of law and justice in Botti-
neau county WI ich it would be well to have
remedied. Among other things it Is said
that a justice who issues q warrant is held
responsible for costs and the commissioner
would refuse to allow his bills. It must
not be forgotten hat every citizen and tax
payer has certain rights which the county
and state are bound to respect and enforce,
md in this case of Fletcher it would seem
according to his view of it that he has been
denied that protection which he as q tax
payer has a right to expect.

pleasure OF the coal monopolists. Thou
