In tbs circuit court of Hughes county
at It's present term, the question of the
jurisdiction of the court over Nowlin
county came up on demurrer to the
indictment in the case against one Mat
thieson for mallciousiy shooting and
killing steer in that county in the
spring willie separating the herds from
the roundup. The court, Judge H.''G.
Fuller, supported the demurrer on the
ground Of the want OF jurisdiction Of
bis court. He cited that III territorial
days Hughes county was1in the Fifth
judicial district, and that Nowlin coun-
ty was attached to it for judicial pur-
poses; that bY the acceptance Of the
constitution under statehood, Hughes
county became a part Of the Sixth ju-
dicial circuit, and Nowlin q part of the
Seventh judicial circuit and was at
tached to Meade c)unty for taxation
purposes only and that it has not been
attached to any county for judicial pur-
poses at all; that Nowlin county is not
organized, and therefore has no legal
resting place, either in the state, or in
the United States, for judicial purposes,
and consequently bis court has no juris-
diction in the case. The query arises
Where does Nowlin county belong? 1t
is very like our quondam county, No
Mans Land, having neither a parent,
government, nor any attachments. Ii
a murder is committed in Nowlin
county, by this decision, tna murderer
cannot be arrested either by state
officer, or by united States officer, as
neither mas the right to issue warrant,
nor to arrest on view or on information;
but it is believed that in such case the
privilege of arrest would not be asked.
