IT'S UP ID LAST COURT
Case of W. M. Hart Taken to the Highest State Tribunal for the Purpose of Getting at the Rec ord

The files kept by Supreme Court Clerk Dillon were enriched yesterday by petition for d writ of prohibi- tion and certiOrari on behalf of one w. Martin Hart, whose name has appeared rather frequently in the newspapers of late. One doesn't have to read this petition very carefully to discover that the said w Martin Hart is in a whole pack of trouble. Also. he is in jail, although a record of that fact does not appear in the papers aforesaid.
 The public which has been hanging on the fate of the redOubtable w Martin for the past few days will recall that he is a resident of Win kelman. At least that fact has been alleged and never denied Also. it will be recalled that officers con- ceiving that w. Martin had not be- haved in the manner that a well dis posed and conscientious citizen should behave, filed a complaint against him. charging him, the said w Mar tin, with remissness in failing to care for a young child of which Hart is said to be the father.
 
 tape had been unWound the case came up before Judge Phillips who, after due examination, decided that it was up to MT. w. Martin Hart to care for his offspring and ordered him to furnish a sufficient amount of the coin of the realm so to do. The amount specified by the court was a lump sum of $50, a weekly stipend of 8 for 20 weeks, and $1O a month thereafter. All this is duly set forth in the petition now on file in MT. DillOn'S office.
 These are the preliminaries, which are followed by w Martins griev- ances as set forth in the petition all ready mentioned. In this petition w. Martin says he has been the victim of the greatest injustice-that he hasn't beet getting anything like q square deal, which he is now look ing for. He says Judge Phillips has done him q mammoth wrong-that he has adjudged him guilty of con tempt for failing to abide by the or der of the superior court And he says he never, never. never, so help him Moses was served with q copy Of that order. So how could he com ply with it?
 And moreover saith w. Martin, the baby ain't his'n, anyhow
 And, now, despite all Mr. Hart's protestations he has been seized by the rude officers of the law and has been put in jail They say he is in contempt-that he deliberately refused to obey the order of the court.
 That's the status Of the case just now. w. Martin says he has de manded a copy of the record of the proceedings held before Judge Phil lips but that this record has not been forthcoming The court reporter didn't keep a complete transcript of all that transpired there.
 So says W. Martin, an appeal to this here honorable body is out Of the question and 1 am forced to rely on my old friends. the two Writs above mentioned. named respectively prohibition and certiorari. The first named is for the purpose of prevent ing Judge Phillips and Clerk w. F.. Thomas from taking any further steps in the matter: and the second is designed to get all the record, or SO much of it as is eXtant, before the superior court, in order that 1t may take jurisdiction from the be8ihhlns'
