LITTLE ONES CONFINED
A Father Seeks to Recover Possession of His
Children by Habeas Corpus

SntIuren by HaDeoS Nofpus
An applicatio nfor a writ of habeas
corpus was made yesterday by A. G.
Sanchez in department one, but mas
much as Judge Smith is away on vaca-
over for one week, on the chance that
an agreement be reached outside of the
court
There are divorce proceedings pend
ing between husband and Wife, and in
the interim the wife has placed the
beyond the reach of the husband and
father.
In the petition it is alleged that Leo,
a child of s years, and Viola, aged 10
years, are being detained by the Sisters
of Mercy at the instigation of Mrs Mary
F. Sanchez. at the Mercy home in this
city. The father has sought to see the
little ones, to take them out for recrea-
ton and to provide them with the neces-
sares of life, but on each and every
occasion he has been met with refusal
at the home.
There having been no decree of any
judge or order of court made awarding
the custody of the children to anyone,
or taking them away from the fatehr.
the petitioner claims that he is entitled
to their custody and control. and that
their detention by the Sisters is unlaw-
full.
1nasmuch as it was believed the chill
dren were about to be removed from the
city for the purpose of depriving the pc
titioner of his rights the present action
was instituted.

Court Notes and News

Litigation is usually an expensive
luxury, and the party successful in
suit generally suffers heartburnings that
minimize the satisfaction felt in gaining
a Judgment But all the same the see
saw scales of justice are kept Wobhling
pretty we'll all the year round.
Yesterday a suit was filed to contest
the will of Enos Strawn, who died in
July of the present year, having real es-
tate and personal property valued at
$4,000. Application to probate the Will
was recently made, and now the COM
plant in suit of contest has also been
placed on record.
The contestants are Maud. Mary. Lau
IA and Teddy Dodd, children of Kate
Dodd, deceased, who was daughter of
Enos and Sarah Strawn and application
in their behalf is being made by their
guardian.
1t is claimed that on March 10, 1898,
the date of the will in contest, Enos and
Sarah Strawn We're owners of certain
property. and that in consideration of
certain bequests upon the part of the
wife, purporting to have been made by
her and not otherwise, the husband,
Enos signed the will that is now disput-
ed. But it is alleged that Sarah StraWn
was not at that time of sound. disposing
mind. nor in any way competent to make
any beQuest.
For separate cau,ie of action. It is
claimed also that Enos Strawn was also
incompetent at that date and not of a
sound and disposing mind, and, as if
that were not enough it is further al
legged that the will itself that has been
offered for probate is not the last Will
and testament of the deceased Enos.
The contestants furthermore seem to
indicate the existence of another will.
for they allege that they are unable to
state the date of or provisions contained
in such testament, inasmuch as the said
instrument has not been in their posses

no doubt that the findings support the

supported by the evidence. and there is
no doubt that the findings support the
judgment.
THE only question, therefore. Is
whether or not the court erred in ad-
hitting certain evidence offered by the
respondent and objected to by the ap-
pellant A number of witnesses were
called who We're officers of election at
several precincts in the county, who tes-
testified that the elections at the several
precincts were properly conducted, that
the ballots were properly counted, and
the tally sheets properly filled up, etc.
Whatever weight might or should be
given to such evidence, it certainly had
some relevancy to the matters at ISSUE
and cannot be said to be incompetent
The fact which the appellant endeavors
to show is that a count of the ballots
themselves received by the court In evil
dence, shows q majority for the appel
liant: but under the views above ex-
pressed that fact cannot be inquired
into. There is nothing in the findings
themselves which shows that state of
facts. Therefore upon the face of the
record as it presents itself to us in this
case. we can see no reason for reversing
the Judgment.
The judgment and order appealed
from are affirmed.
