HTS ABLE DECISION.
Justice as lt Was Dealt Out in a Ger.
tain VILLAGE.

The mayor or village in a western
state. under Jaw by which the mayor
Is also police Judge. had before MIN n
| cattle stealing case
Two men had stolen two steers and
sold them 10 a butcher IN the town for
the extremely low price OF S37.
Now. the Jurisdiction OF this mayor.
police Judge extended IN such cases
only 10 the limits OF petty larceny,
which required that the stolen articles
be not OF a value of more than S35.
Beyond this amount the magistrate
had to bind the prisoner or prisoners
over TO the circuit court. subject to the
action Of the next session OF the grand
jury. Likewise. IN cases thus beyond
his jurisdiction. the judge got no fee,
and at this particular time. as at many
others. he needed the money.
When the evidence had all been ad-
duced the case was as plain as the pro-
boscis on an elephant seen in profile
The men had stolen the cattle. had sold
them for $37 No amount Of question
ing could make the butcher who had
bought them say that it was $3.50 or
any other amount short of the origi
nally mentioned sum. Apparently no
mayors fee was in sight.
Then the mayor thus summed up the
case:
1--WE have heard the evidence in this
case, and the duty of the court is clear.
These men stole the cattle. They sold
them for $37. Taking the mere prima
facie evidence and the bare letter of
the law, it would seem that it was
clear and unmistakable case of grand
larceny. But l have decided to allow
the two prisoners 81 for driving the
cattle in to the market. This reduces
the selling price to $33, and l fine tile
two prisoners each $50 and costs. The
court is adjourned. ."-Chicago News
