Local Justices Express Themselves.

There are two bills, regulating the
Office of Justice of the Peace, before
the Legislature.
One restricts the jurisdiction Of Jus
tees to the immediate township in
which they are located. The other
directs that they shall not do duty
for coroners.
Under the present rule, criminal
and forclble detainer cases, occurring
in any part Of the county may be
handled by justices, and duty may al
so be done for the County Coroner,
Justices Campbell and Thomas are
opposed to both, bills, while Justice
Hoffman oppressed himself as being
in favor of the law restricting juris-
diction to townships, He had nothing
to say about the Coroner bin.

son tended bar. I was under the infiu-
ence of liquor. I sat beside the hot stove
and became sick and went to the rear
of the saloon. Charlie heard me and

call me in time to take the 2:30 train to

broken from my watch and my trousers
