A Court Test Suit Advanced.

The custer suit against Frank D.
Hutchings, judge of the circuit court
in Wyandotte county, will be heard
by the Kansas supreme court Novem-
Der G. The court advanced the case
to ain early hearing so that all ques-
ton as to the legality of any de-
cisions of the court of cases tried
in it would be settled speedily. The
custer suit was brought on the ground
that the law creating the court was a
special law and this is prohibited by
constitutional amendment. The
ground of the defense will be that
only a special law was possible in
this instance as no other county
needed an additional court.
