A Courtroom Incident.

During his long career as lawyer Secretary Shaw gathered large col 'Ae5 pug eAeI5 's4u0p!ou! 10 uono9E One of his stories is of a young law yer who was opposed to a veteran of the bar in an Iowa court. Theyoung man addressed the jury first and in doing so took occasion to initiate well- known mannerisms of the other, such as adjusting his cuffs, stroking an inn aginary imperial, etc. This caused considerable laughter in court. When the veteran rose to reply he did not neglect to go through his preliminary motions with even more delibsration and precision than usual. He bowed to the judge and to the jury and then began: Your honor and gentlemen of the jury, that young man acts like a good lawyer, but he talks like a blamed fool"

Game Law Test Case.

Capt. W. B. Mallory, prominent citizen of Memphis, and member of a club occupying land in this state as game preserves, has been arrested for violating the DeRossit game law, passed at the last session of the legislature. Capt Mallory invited the sheriff of Crittenden county to meet him on the river, where he was fishing, the object being to make a test case of the law. Attorneys rep resenting the State Sportsman's As sociation will prosecute the suit. A few days after the arrest of Capt. Mallory application was made be- fore Judge Trieber, in federal court, for temporary restraining order against the officers of Clittenden county to prevent the trial of the case in the state courts, which was granted. The next move in the case will probably be motion on the part of intervenors, or those repre- senting the officers against whom the injunction is issued, asking for the dissolution of the injunction. In case this is denied an appeal will be taken to the circuit court of appeals, and probably to the United States supreme court.

Mortgage to Pay Fine Void.

In the case of Arthur Hubbard vs. The State, decided in the supreme court last week, Mir. Justice Battle delivered the opinion of the court. Hubbard was convicted before a jus tice of the peace of gambling and was fined $10 and costs. After his conviction he executed a note and mortgage to secure the payment of the fine and costs. Later he prayed an appeal to the circuit court and filed an appeal bond, which was ap- proved and the appeal granted. In the circuit court the state moved to dismiss the appeal because Hubbard had executed note and mortgage to the state of Arkansas in payment of the fine and costs. The court sus- tained this motion and the defend ant appealed to the supreme court. MT. Justice Battle stated that it was obvious that the security mentioned in the act of March 3, 1897, amendatory of section 2321 of Sandels & Hills digest, meant per- sonal security and not a mortgage or lien upon property, and that no one has authority to take a mort gage on behalf of the state for the payment of fine.
