JUDGE QUASHES WRIT.

Judge H. D. Dickinson quashed the
writ of habeas corpus in the case of
Andrew Jackson, the railroad porter
arrested and convicted of disorderly
conduct. Attorney MCGEE attacked
conviction and Imprisonment on the
grounds that there was no specific
complaint and that the court tub was
nsufficient-also that the Municipal
Court has no jurisdiction, as it's limits
are co-extensive with Hennepin Co.
Attorney McGhee appealed.

Detectives Crummy and Derrick.
Jones reached Mason City shortly
after the stabbing and has been work.
ing there as a drayman. He went un.
der the name of Frank Baker, but his
identity was discovered by negro de.
tective, who had been shadowing him
and who telephoned the local police
that he had him located.
Detectives were Immediately sent
and went to barn where Jones was
shooting craps with several friends.
AS soon as he saw Detective Crummy
he knew the Zig was up" but he
decided to make one dash for freedom
and started for the nearest windaw,
which he was about to jump through
when bullet from Crummy's revolver
halted him and brought him to the
ground.

Jones Is now confined in the Coun-
ty Jail, and his wound is serious. He
was interviewed by our representative
when Il was reported that he was not
receiving proper medical treatment.
This Is untrue. He is being regularly
treated. He denies making an at
tempt to jump through window,
when he was shot and says that one
detective had hold of his arm, when
detective Grumpy fired the shot. His
clothing was set on fire. He had
been turned up by negro. whom Is
known as HI Henry and who is not
recognized as regular detective.
Jones waived examination and was
held to wait the action Of the Grand
