Ing Of State Association
at Burlington.

County Attorney E. w. McManus
was at Burlington yesterday to attend
the meeting OF the state association
of county attorneys held there yester.
day. The Burlington Gazette says OF
the meeting:
The State Association Of County At
torneys met in their annual conven-
ton this afternoon in the public H.
'brary building. There were number
of the prosecuting attorneys and the
afternoon was spent in general dis
cussion and in listening to carefully
prepared papers on various subjects OF
law that have received little attention
lately and that have been rather
vague in their Interpretation.
The principal subject Of converse
ton during the afternoon was the
proper method of procedure in Juve-
nile cases. It was argued by many
that there should first be a prelimi-
nary hearing before some minor court
and then the matter could be brought
before the district court and the final
action taken there. 1t was decided
this afternoon that the following man
ner is correct, and that a minor court
has no jurisdiction in such matters,
but that the case should be brought
at once before the district court and
action taken there.

not according to the code to bind
