GRANT CONTINUANCES
Judge Otis Denies Unique Petition for
Writ of Habeas Corpus in Davis
and MCGEE Cases.

.T can't see where the municipal
court has been guilty of gross abuse
of discretion" Judge Otis said, look
ing down into the face of Attorney
James r. Hickey. so your petition
for a writ of habeas corpus looking
to the discharge of Davis and MCGEE
is denied"
Attorney Dickey. who appeared for
Paul Davis and Kate MCGEE in the
proceedings before Judge Otis worked
hard to get his clients out Of Jail. He
cited authorities to uphold his argu.
ments, and contended that Davis and
Miss MCGEE were being kept in Jail
contrary to all precedent.
His petition set forth that the ar
rests were made Aug 80, and the pris-
oners were brought into court the next
day. The prosecuting attorney secur-
ed a continuance until Sept. 6, and
again had the hearing continued I'M
til Sept. 8.
Attorney Dickey said that yesterday
the police had preferred the charge of
drunk and disorderly against them,
which tended to show that they were
unable to make out case against the
prisoners on the charge of grand lar
ceny. In each case when a continu-
ance was granted the attorney for the.
defendants protested insisting that the
prosecution must present them case.
Attorney Dickey claimed that the
court allowed the prosecution to take
a continuance arbitrarily on two sep
arate occasions.
Assistant County Attorney O'Neill,
who appeared for the prosecution, cited
authorities to show that an examining
magistrate or court had the right to
continue hearing from time to time,
as the occasion demanded, as long as
the continuance was not for more than
ten days.

Attorney General Douglas has held
that the intent of the primary law was
to allow the Democrats to vote only for
candidates of that party and the same
way with Republicans. Consequently,
he holds that there should be no blank

Another point involving the printing
of the primary election ballots has been
brought to the attention of the supreme
court and Chief Justice Start yester-
day signed an order to show cause
which will be argued today.
The question in controversy is wheth-
er blank space should be left on the
primary election ballot after the name
of candidate for each office and the
voter thus be allowed to vote for some
other person than the candidates whose
names are printed on the ballot.
The case comes UP from Mower
county and John l.. Gulden has applied
for an order directing County Auditor
Johnson, of that county, to change the
form of the ballot and insert blank
spaces following the name of the sew
eral candidates.
But Two Offices Named.
The Democratic ticket, as made up
by the auditor of Mower county, con-
tains the name of candidates for con-
gresham and register of deeds only,
and the point made is that there should
be blank spaces left after these two
and other offices in order that the vot-
ers may have some choice in casting
their ballot. ~ 291
The particular question which is
sought to be settled is in the nominal
tons for superintendent of schools in
the county.

The residue should go to the son. Will
liam Weber Jr. The mother then be-
gins the recital of her sons alleged
scheme to defraud her.
She says that in pursuance and in
furtherance of his scheme and inten-
ton to deceive and defraud her he in
duced her to decline to act as one of
the executors of the will because it
would be too much worry and annoy
ance for her. Sept. IL an inventory of
the estate was filed with Judge Bazille,
Of the probate court, which showed
that the property was then worth $27,-
S24, with an Indebtedness of $1,000.
Son Collected Rents.
A large portion of the property left
by William Weber Sr. consisted of
real estate and brought rentals. Mrs.
Weber, in her complaint, says that
her son collected rents aggregating
$4,000, and AYERS that he never ac-
counted for that sum.
The mother also charges that her son
appropriated two thirds of the $4,000
to his own use. While managing his ia
theirs affairs previous to his death it
was the sons duty to see that all taxes
and assessments were paid and this he
neglected, the bill states, and allowed
$4,000 in unpaid taxes and assessments
to which heavy penalties were attach
ed TO accumulate.
with the intent of covering up his
conversions; and defaults and for the
purpose of deceiving and defrauding
her out of her property, William W.
Weber carried on a system to secure
her resignation as one of the execu-
tors, which left him in entire charge
of the estate" says the bill, (which is
| in bad condition, of. small value and in
numbered with taxes"
Signs Away Rights.
Mrs. Weber further says in her
| complaint that her son presented a pc
tition to her for proving the will; that
she asked him if it was all right
| for her to sign her name and that he
said she would be well taken care Of
! 1t afterwards developed that the pc
tition contained the following clause:
THAT said Harriet M Weber here
| by excerpts and adopts provisions of
| said will in so far as such provisions
| relate to her and accepts bequest made
| to her and to the trustee therein named
| for her benefit in lieu of the provisions
| by the statutes of the state of Mime
| sofa as the wife of said William W.
| Weber, deceased"
Mrs. Weber claims that the clause
prevented her from recovering her one
third of the estate as the wife of the
deceased, which amounts to $9,650.

BICYCLE RIDERS ARE
QUITTING THE GAME
NumbestI.of Licenses Falls Off 5000
IF rom Record of 1901.

The records in the county treasurer's
office VIII Show a large decrease in
the number of bicycle licenses issued
during 1902 compared to 1901.
Last year there were 1900 licenses
issued. and up to date 1855 persons
have taken out the necessary papers
to ride bicycle. With the advent of
winter and the rate the licenses are
being issued at present, there will not
be over 5000 issued this year.
A dropping off of nearly 5000 is re-
garded as significant, and means loss
of $1,000 revenue to the county.
Bicycle riding is no longer regarded
as a fad. Club and century runs are
no longer heard of, and persons who
ride bicycles use them for economical
and when going on errands.
The majority of the bicycle manufac
turers have gone out of business, in
some cases owing to the lack Of de-
mand for wheels and in others because
of bankruptcy.
