court, fined 300 and given iail sensence
Of sixty days for violating the state pre-
hibitory law. He sought 10 be released
from the penalty by o writ Of habeas corpus
on the grounds that tins county court had
no Jurisdiction, rs the Law prsscribes
thai parties comTlained OF shall be
given . hearing before justice
OF the peace and then be allowed
to give bail for their appearance before the
circuit eonnrt.
Tho chief Justice held that the offsnse
was q misdemeanor, and that the state q
attorney was authorized TO hle such cases
In the county court and that by nm act
passed In chapter 7S, the county court had
equal jurisdiction with the circuit court,
when the offense was not punishable with
imprisonment In the penitentiary, or death.
JudQe Carson further held that IL was
competent for ths Legislature. under the
constitution, 10 provide for the
prosecution Of misdemeanors by informa-
tion and not by process OF q
grand jury and the circuit court. The de-
cision OF the chief jnstioelis very impor-
tant one, bearing on prohibition In this
state and defining the duties and status Of
the county courts. II siIl materially facili-
tate the efforts of the enforcemant league.

pectsd that the new dodge is fully ma
tured, and that the announcement will be
made to-day. II lie claimed that Chicago,

the project, with half million OF capital.
Wolsey Is only twelve miles from Huron,
and II the scheme fully matenalizes, the
new aspirant would draw more votes from
Huron than from Pierre--hence help the
chances OF the laftsr.
