Nothing is to be gained by an i'm

Jealous OF Jurisdiction.
when the juvenile court is used in
an attempt to upset the order OF the
circuit court. think it is time the
matter be investigated" returned the
court. Every court is jealous of its
own Jurisdiction and this court expects
to guard its rights. There are only
two questions to be answered and they
are simple enough. Did Miss Lyness
sign this dependency petition in coun-

if the court needs a little time in
which to cool of there is all the more
reason for a delay until tomorrow"
If a delay is asked in a matter con-
corning the dignity of this court, |
will not consent to it," announced At
torney Weld for the mother.
Don't think for a moment, AEr.
Weld. that your status before this bar
is any better than any of the rest of
us" was the retort of Attorney
Diets.
Girl Under Arrest

clared the court. "She is held by the

court directed against the official and
requiring him to produce in court this
afternoon AT O'Clock the child. about
whom there has been so much litiga-

the order of Judge b. 5. Bell of the !
county court. who directed that the |
girl be kept in his custody pending the |
hearing of the dependency petition |
which Attorney Roberts filed in behalf J
of the aunt. The case is set for Octo- |

ney Weld this morning that the second |
writ asked for might result in a clash
of Jurisdiction between the circuit and !
the county courts. However, he issued |
the writ, making it returnable at the }
hour of the hearing of the contempt |!
proceedings.

clude its work this week. but that it |
will he the middle of next week, at /
least. before adjournment is taken.
