JUSTICE MADE ERRORS.
Effort Is Made to Have Knauber
Boys Released.

Attorney Joseph Reed brought a ha-
beas corpus suit in the district court
this morning to secure the release Of
Willis and Adam Knauber from the Re-
form school
rsl-e Knauber boys. aged u and Is
years, Wlhlre sent to the Reform school
by JustfBe of the Peace Williams, of
OaklandW Williams tried them on the
d7arge Of pilfering from a house which
had been vacated The boys claimed
they gathered up some things that had
been thrown away by the tenants who
left Williams sentenced the boys to six
months in the Reform school The
claim is made that the justice over
reached his authority in sending the
boys to the school for a term. 1t is not
a penal institution and boys can not be
sentenced there. The justice then made
a few technical errors such as sending
the complaint to the school and not
naming the two boys in a warrant. On
those and some more technical errors
Reed expects to get the boys out.

children Of the public school under the
direction OF Miss lone McKoy Of Pana,
Illinois. The entertainment vas in
every respect a brilliant success. The
children were well-trained and the pro
gram carried ont splendidlY.
Miss McKoy deserves much praise for
the successful carrying out OF the pro
gram when il is remembered that the
children are necessarily deficient IN
elocuion and music as the two arts are
entirely neglected in the school. 10
provisions have been made for teaching
them heretofore and it is TO be hoped
that when the new school building is

two branches Professor Thornton also
deserves credit for the great success Of
the entertainment as he left 10 stone
unturned in his efforts TO make it As

dren themselves must be eomplimented
