For some time past there has been
trouble between the city Of Moorhead
and the county as to the di5posi5i N Of
criminals of certain class. For in-
stance: For the crime Of petit larceny,
when fne is imposed the money is
paid into the city treasury, while il vAe
prisoner is sent to Jail, he goes to the
county Jail. The city charter provides
that if the city has no jail, such prlson-
ers shall be sent to the county iail.
The city does not own the building
used as lookup, therefore prisoners of
this class haYe always been sent to the
county Jail George Howard was last
week arrested for petty larceny and
sent to the county Jail for 80 days by
chief justice. The county at once OBJ
tanned writ of habeas CORPUS and had
the man brought before Judge Wilds
of the district court. City Attorney
G. A. Nye appeared for the city and, the
argument took place last Saturday.
The di strict judge dismissed the writ
and sustained the justice. The judge
maintained that the city lookup was
not such place as called for in the
charter. and consequently that the
county Jail was the proper place for the
confinement Of Howard. The county
may take the case to the supreme court.
