ATTORNEYS BuNGLE CASES.
Two Decisions Affirmed Because Law

Two Decisions Affirmed Because Law.
yers Make Mess of Trying Them.
Des Moines, Jan. 24.-The supreme
court yesterday affirmed two cases ap-
pealed to the higher court almost
solely on the ground that the attor-
neys who had handled the cases did
not know what they we're doing, and
the legal questions were not properly
placed before the court for it's deter
mination. One of them was a case
involving the constitutionality of a
law of great Importance in every coal
mining district of the state and was
intended to be test case. This was
the case of Buchanan against the
Blackhawk Coal works and threec
similar cases, all from Wapello county.
| The plaintiff has secured Judgment
in the district court for the amount of
certain wages proved to be due him
and unpaid, and, in addition, in ac-
cordance with the Iowa laws, had Sc
cured a jAigment for attorneys fees
and for 81 day penalty after the
debts had been due and unpaid. The
| coal companies fought the case on
the ground that the law providing for
this special penalty is unconstitution-
al and contrary to the spirit of all our
laws. But after the demurrer had
been overruled in the lower court the
attorney for the company had answer
| ed and had gone to trial on the case,
afterward coming to the court with
questions raised on the demurrer. The
court refuses to consider the appeal
in this form. 1t will be brought to
the court in some other case at an
early date. In the case Of Grapes
against city Of Sheldon the court vir-
tually refuses to consider the case be
cause the attorney for the city had
taken an ordinary sidewalk injury
case and had presented 200 objections
to the way it was tried and had ar
gued all Of them, but not one with
sufficient definiteness to warrant CON
sideration of the case.
