or two. The patrons will appreciate
their effort.
Considerable excitment was caused
by the firing of a couple of shots from
a revolver in the northeast part of the
city last Thursday shortly after noon,
and they attracted quite crowd.
Upon investigating it was found they
were fired by H. d. Allen, city marshal
of Lamont, who had placed Carl Sankey
under arrest. 1t seems that on the
Fourth of July Sankey was down at
Lamont attending the celebration and it
is claimed was creating disturbance.
The marshal attempted to arrest him,
but he ran away and marshal Allen
fired shot from his revolver trying to
induce him to stop, but he escaped
and returned to Leon on the evening
train. Wednesday evening marshal
Allen came to Leon armed with war
rant for Sankey but he evaded him and
it was not until about noon that he
located him at his home. When Allen
appeared at the Sankey residence he
was accompanied by constable Grant
Johns of this city, and when Sankey saw
the officers he broke through the house
and started to run up the alley. Allen
| fired two shots, as he says in the air and
Sankey stopped and was placed under
arrest, being brought down town and
later taken to Lamont, where he was
fined $40 and costs. The next day his
father, Mr.. Ell. Sankey, filed an informa-
ton before Justice John Holden, charg-
ing Allen with assault with attempt to
commit great bodily injury, it being
alleged he had pointed his revolver at
Mr.. Sankey's son when he arrested him
and fred toward him with the intention
of hitting him. Upon being notified Mr..
Allen came to Leon and retained A. P.
Olsen to defend him. When the case
was called for trial Saturday morning
at 10 o'clock, county attorney w. B..
Kelley and Marion Woodland appeared
for the state. The defendant asked for
time to prepare for the trial and the
case was continued until Friday after
noon of this week at 2:3O o'clock.
Under the law it is claimed that peace
officer has no right to use a gun in
arresting anyone who is not charged
with a felony,or is in the actual commits
sion Of a crime, and that as young
Sankey was only charged with mis-
demeanor the officer had no right to
shoot at him. Mr.. Allen was released on
a bond of 800, which was signed and
returned to Lamont on the noon train.

home and wanted to leave. Her insan-
ity is caused from an injury to the head
which she received years ago. The
patient was taken to Clarinda Thursday
afternoon by deputy sheriff Ira Wallace
and his sister, Mrs. E. E. Beck.
There was rather an interesting time
at the trial of a criminal law suit be-
fore Justice A. E. Price at Van Vert
last Friday, Dali Ashford having been
arrested charged with the crime of
larceny, it being claimed that he had
stolen rain coat valued at $3.50 from
E. W. Fierce. County Attorney W. B.
Kelley appeared for the state and Ed H.
Sharp was retained by the defendant.
After the trial of the case was com
menced the attorney for the defendant
raised the point that Justice Price had
no authority to try the case or to hold
the Office of justice of the peace for the
reason that he had failed to have his
bond as such officer recorded with the
county auditor, the statute requiring
that justice must have his bond
recorded after the board Of supervisors
have approved it, and pay fee of so
cents to the auditor for recording it.
Mr.. Price was elected at the last gen
eral election, and made out bond
which the board Of supervisors approx
ed at the January session, but he sup
posed that was all there was to it, and
never made any attempt to record it.
The law requires that it must be record
ed within ten days from the time of it's
approval and attorney Sharp claimed
that inasmuch as he had failed to re-
cord his bond, he had failed to qualify
for the Office, and was not entitled to
acta as justice. After considerable
wrangling Justice Price decided he had
no authority to try the case and the
defendant was discharged. Investiga-
tion show that there are several of the
Justices in the county who have not had
their bond recorded and it is question
whether their acts will hold good in
law.
