HOLDS TRUSTEES ARE
WITHIN LEGAL RIGHTS
Judge Funk UphoIdS Lakevllle
Board in Effort to Secure
Water Works.

The board OF trustees Of the town
of Lakeville are acting in good talth
and are within their legal rights In
their attempt TO secure a waterWorks
plant for the town. according TO
ruling made by Judge Funk in the
circuit court Wednesday morning. Inc
court sustained the demurrer to a
second paragraph OF complaint me
complainant then asked leave TO Tile
an amended second complaint and the
case was continued until 1880 o'clock
The action to secure an Injunction
against the trustees was brought By
Fred r. Van Lew and others on the
general grounds that the trustees
were seeking to evade the law Whlch
limited the indebtedness of the town
and were seeking to deprive the cit
liens OF their right TO vote on the
proposition of q waterworks planx.
II was shown by the complaint and
also by the answer that the trustees
were seeking to operate through a
dummy" corporation which should
erect the plant. The stock of this
company was TO DC purchased by the
town and thereafter retired IL was
held by the complainants that this
purchase OF stock would increase the
Indebtedness of the town beyond the
legal limit. 1t was held. however. by
the defense that the preferred stock
of the company would not be consld-
cred as an Indebtedness. 1t was held
by the complainant also that this So
called preferred stock was not in fact
any more than common stock.
The court held that the complain
ant had been in error in reading the
provisions of one statute into another
statute and that there was a statute
which gave the trustees the right to
prOceed in such cases without submit
ting their proposition to the voters.
II was held by the court that the
status of the case was probably much
different that IL would have tseen If
the organization for the erection OF
this plant had been fully completed.
The trustees. he held, were acting IN
good faith and could not be enjoined.

CHEATING AT ANNAPOLIS.

NhdnSdS lily journal
Every American will share in the
opprObrium brought upon the honor
of the navy by the revelations of wide
spread and unconsciOnable cheating
in examinations by the midshipmen at
Annapolis. The cheat is universally
execrated, for despite the prevalence
OF dishonesty in all walks OF life and
among all classes of people. human
nature is fundamentally honest At
least an overwhelming majority Of
people demand honesty and admire il
when il is displayed. The American
spirit of fair play unreservedly con-
dennis the person who takes an un-
fair advantage OF another whether
the contest he one of brains or Drawn.
The spirit permeates all forms Of ac-
tivity. pastimes as well as the more
serious engagement OF wit, skill or
ability OF any other sort.

Counsel For Plaintiff Seeking
Release From Jail Takes Ex-
Ception to Much of Courts
Procedure.

The case Of Charles DuVal against
Sheriff Bailey taken up in the supe-
rior court Wednesday morning soon
settled into a contest between Judge
Ford and Stuart Mackibbin. All
through the Wednesday morning
hearing MacKibbin, representing the
plaintiff, took exceptions 10 the rul-
ings OF the court On the grounds that
the matter upheld by the court was
not the matter at issue.
The plaintiff in the case has petit
tened for a writ OF habeas corpus on
the grounds that he is being illegally
held at the county jail as an insane
man. When the question OF the writ
was set for hearing the court an
nOunced that there should be a trial
by jury. holding that counsel for the
plaintiff should not be permitted TO
secure the freedom OF a man whom II
might be dangerous to have at large
without a clear case.
When the court ordered the bailiff
Wednesday morning 10 bring in II Of
the is men on the special venire the
plaintiff moved to quash the Venire
for the reason that IL had not been
made according 10 law in that IL had
been selected BY the sheriff instead Of
the jury commissioners. This motion
was cverruled.
The court ruled that as the jury
was a. Sptttdl jury NAdWi az tAN tAi-
stance Of the court the court should
decide as to the method OF procedure
in the case. lie therefore instructed
Dan Nye. deputy prosecutor, to ex-
anime the jurymen first The jury
was selected within less than an hour
and was sworn. The plaintiff objected
TO the action Of the court i'm having
the jury sworn for the reason that
there was no law authorizing the
empanelling of a jury in a habeas
corpus action.

court and MacKibbin when the for
mer proceeded TO instruct the jury
before the introduction of evidence.
The court instructed the jury that the
issues at trial were as To the sanity or
insanity OF the plaintiff and also as
10 whether - not he was a lit per
son to Ire at large and that following
the hearing. of the evidence, interrog-
atories - t. these two matters would
be submitted. The place of aSHRDL
be submitted The decision of the jury
will take the place Of a verdict and on
il the judge viii decide the question
Of the writ of habeas corpus

brought out the fact that ne believed
DuNal 10 be mOnOmaniac on the
question Of religion and that he was
dangerous TO have at large.
Every question presented TO the
witness to bring out the fact Of the
plaintiffs sanity was objected TO by
the plaintiff on the grounds that the
only question before the court was
the question as 10 the legality of the
plaintiffs Incarceration in the county
Jail. 1t was held also by the sheriff
that only the county clerk was legally
qualified to have charge OF the dis
position OF a person after they were

tilted that in their opinion DuNars
mind had become so conferred on reli-

and had made of him a person who
would be a menace to the commune
~ The plaintiff objected 10 this tes-
timony for reason that the question
OF the man being safe should be
shown from facts and not from opin-
ions.
The evidence concerning the plain
tiff as brought out in the findings of
the lunacy commission were that the
man was given TO violent displays Of
temper and that he had become so
centered on the consideration Of re-

inspired. 1t was testified before the
commission that he spent most OF his
time talking religion but that he had
not become dangerous.
