A BUSY JUSTICE
Who Insists That There Shall Be
 Something in Sight.

The way of the average justice of the peace is extraordinary There could De compiled out of justices dockets a book funnier than the most famous humorist has ever written or funnier than one ever can write, for unconscious and un intended humor is the best of all. The Republican is in receipt from a legal friend of the copy of Q part O. a tran script, in which it appears that jus tice refused to allow a plea of not guilty to be entered because it was not accompanied by evidence of the de- fendant's innocence and because the justice thought he was in possession or eXtra-judicial knowledge of the fact that there was no such evidence. He was not disposed to fool away the time of the court in a proceeding which could have but one ending. TDe defendant naturally took an appeal to court that had more time to fool away. The following is a copy of the part of tbs docket relating to this case:
 Territory of Arizona vs. Magnus Ros-
 enburg.
 March 23 personally appeared before me Maria Little, who, upon being duly sworn, files up a criminal complaint against one Magnus Rosenberg, accus- ing him of maliciousIy applying for search warrant against plaintiff and carrying the same into efTect by searching plaintiffs house. Now. therefore, plaintiff asks for a warrant O. arrest against defendant. which was put in the hands of K. C. Henley. con- stable. on the 25th. he being out of town at the time the complaint was flee. Warrant served on the 18th and court convened at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, with plaintiff and defendant all pres ent. After reading the complaint to the defendant he plead not guilty. The court asked him to produce some evil dence to support his plea, which Ee failed to do. Therefore, the court, knowing him to have said before that that he had two witnesseg to prove that plaintiff had said tEat she was going to do him wrong. and on that strength he procured the said search warrant. and the court seeing now that he, the defendant, was unable to pro- duce the said two witnesses to support his plea of not guilty, the court foun1 him guilty Of committing q lnisde- ;neanor and imposed q fine of $15, upon wnich defendant gave notice of appeal from tinC: and after filing the necessary papers the court put the defandant IT. der $50 bonds to appear at the next Fourth judicial district term of court to be held a Holbrook, which was fur nished with ". H. Daggs and J. R. Forsythe as sureties, after which de- fendant was duly discharged from cus- tody.
