With more pretentious living larger

The Father OF one Of che senbruuE Boys
Goes TO Court
Elsie Sturgeon, one of the young men
recently lined il Justice Growers court
for disturbing q religious meeting at
eeabro0x, has been released from the
county jail on a writ Of habeas corpus.
Sturgeon was fined 81 and costs,
amounting to over SAB, and when he
failed to pay the required amount into
court, Justice Grover. before whom the
case was tried, sent the young man 70
jail.
ID. z. Sturgeon. the young mans faith
ers applied to Judge Hazen for the re-
laase Of his boy from jail on a writ Of
habeas corpus, which was granted. and
the boy is out on 500 bond The hear
ing of the case is set for next Monday ia
the district court.
DIR Sturgeon not only charges that the
costs ID this case are excessively high,
bat says his boy is not guilty of the
ohense for which he was fined. In the
petition for the writ of habeas corpus he
says the boy was frightened into entering
q plea Of guilty, as the deputy county att
torney and the justice OF the peace both
told him he had better enter a plea of
guilty, as that was the best way out of the
scrape.
some interesting developments are
promised when the case comes up for
