Becky Panee yesterday filed an ap-
peal to the Supreme Court from the
order of Judge Gear allowing ]. A. Ma
COON fee of $3.50.
Judge Gear appointed E. NJ. Watson
as guardian ad Item for Becky for the
purpose of the appeal, and ordered Ma
COON to pay the said ward any and all
costs necessary to be incurred by said
ward in connection Herewith.
The appeal is based upon the follow
ing grounds:
"a The said order. judgment and de-
cree is wholly null and void.
(2) The amount of the fee allowed
and ordered to be paid in and by said
order, judgment and decree is grossly
excessive and utterly disproportionateI
20 the value of the services alleged to
have been rendered by said Magoon to
his said ward.
(3) The allowance of said sum OF
twelve hundred and fifty dollars to said
Magoon as aforesaid constitutes an
abuse of judicial discretion on the part
of the said Honorable Second Judge.
(D The acceptance of said sum of
twelve hundred and fifty dollars by
said Magoon constitutes a fragrant dere-
LECTION of his duty to his said ward to
protect her against unfair, unjust and
excessive charges.
60 The said order, If not wholly
void, should have been made and en-
tered upon the passing of the annual
accounts of said guardian and not ad
interim.
PENGELLY ESCAPES PUNISH
MENT
VIM. Pengelly, charged with commit
! ting an assault upon Thos. H. Dunkin,
was found guilty by jury yesterday
afternoon with The strongest possible
recommendation for mercy" Acting
upon the suggestion of the jury Judge
De Bolt suspended sentence upon the
defendant until the next term of court.
The offense charged against Pengel-
Iy was an assault upon the prosecuting
witness with a knife. From the de-
PENDANTS story it appears that Dunkin
had been riding with Mrs. Pengelly and
the husband upbraided his wife because
of this. Dunkin interfered in the quar-
rel, with the result that Pengelly went
for him with a knife. The jury's YER
dict was evidently meant as a warn
ing to anyone who might want to mix
in a family quarrel.
