CHECKED JUDGE BAILEY.
Supreme Court Takes a Hand in
the Contempt Case at
Eau Claire.

Madison, Wis, April 81 Special. i
Judge Bailey of Eau Claire will either
have to drop the contempt proceedings
against the lawyers and newspapers who
are opposing him for reelection in the
Seventeenth circuit or show to the SUI
prene court next Friday their reason to
the contrary. In the judicial canvass in
the Seventeenth circuit a good deal of
feeling has been worked up in regard to
Judge w. Z. Bailey's fitness for the
place.
Some time ago an article attributed to
Judge Bailey appeared in one of the
newspapers at Eau Claire, which CON
tanned reflections upon the professional
standing of A. A. Doolittle, a lawyer at
Eau Claire. Thereupon Mr. Doolittle
wrote a long article arraigning Judge
Bailey and containing serious charges
against him, which article was published
in the Evening Free Press of March 81.
An editorial appeared in the same paper
stating the objections which were al
legged against Judge Bailey as candi-
date for circuit judge. On April /, II. H.
Hayden and L. Z. Frawley, prominent
lawyers of Eau Claire, were appointed
by Judge Bailey to institute contempt
proceedings against Mr. Doolittle and H.
=. Ashbaugh, publisher of the Evening
Free Press, on the ground that the pub
LEGATION of such an article amounted to
q contempt of court.
Doolittle and Ashbaugh were sum
moned to appear within two hours and
show cause why they should not be com
mitted to jail for contempt of court. They
appeared and obtained a postpOnement
until 7:30 o'clock the same evening. At
that time they filed an affidavit which
Judge Bailey denounced as further con-
tempt of court, and he stated that he
would Saturday morning, April 3, COM
init them to Jail.
At II o'clock today the Supreme court
issued a writ of prohibition to Judge
Bailey commanding him to take no pro-
ceedings in the contempt matter and to
