Appeals From Cherokee County Have
Been Dismissed.

Nine appeals from Cherokee were
disposed of in the supreme court this
week on a single decision. Five of
the number were only submitted this
week and a decision in them would
not be due, in the natural course of
events. until the court meets again
after the summer vacation, but as the
questions involved were the same as
those in another case decided Thurs
day, the decisions in all were made on
the single OpinOin.
The case in which the opinion was
delivered was that of Joseph Crilley,
who was prosecuted for violating the
prohibitory law. An assistant attor-
ney general was appointed in Chero-
kee county last winter to conduct a
grand jury investigation He secured
a lot of indictments for selling liquor.
He signed the indictments and then
secured convictions in the district
court.
The cases were appealed and one of
the principal contentious of the joint
lists was that an assistant attorney
general has no authority to sign in
dictments. The supreme court de-
cides that an assistant attorney gen
eral has that power under the prohibi-
tory law, and all of the convictions
stand.

POLICE COURT NOTES.

Chas. Humbert went free of the
charge of joint keeping in his trial
before Judge Hamilton Thursday af-
ternoon. Humbert has been holding
forth at $40 North Kansas avenue for
some time past. The place had been
raided previously on number of
charges in which maintining a nuis-
ance and disorderly house figured
heavily. The evidence in this last in
stance was not sufficient to warrant
convicting Humbert for joint keeping.
The officers who made the arrest
failed to find a bar in operation. A
number of cases of whisky TASKS at
large on the place were attributed
to the private ownership of Humbert.
Polly Biggers, coIored, living at
TIP East Twelfth street, was taken up
claims that the dog belongs to Sidney
Biggers, her husband. She makes the
statement that she don want no
'dawg,' Amt got no use fo' one, and
done toll her husband to git the dawg
man to come and shoot that dawg."
Pollys husband no longer lives with
her. They have agreed to stay asun-
der pending the settlement of few
differences. Polly wants her husband
stuck for that dawg. E. L. Masoner
is the party making the complaint.

seasons and last year spent 10 months
in Wyoming as travelling companion
to a wealthy eastern friend. He want

a motion to quash it was shown that
not single complainant among the
eight signers represented a company
having more than 100000 and that rul-

out nearly all like insurance companies
in the state including the Equitable Life
of New York, The New York Life, The
Mutual Life of New York, and the
Northwestern Mutual Life of Milwau-

and that the charges of favoritism were
unfounded and imma terial and dis
missed the action. The decision was
complete victory for Caldernead whose
