At o meeting Of the Marshall County
Bar association. held at 10 o'clock this
forenoon In the west court room, the
establishment Of a municipal court
was discussed and steps taken toward
determining the possibilits of merging
police and justice courts. The statute
providing for the establishment of
municipal courts in cities OF 10000 pop
ulation or more, and the Scott amend
ment which made the law effective In
cities Of $1,000 or more. were discussed
by Representative Ray p. Scott.

Jurisdiction Of Municipal Court.
The, jurisdiction of the municipal
court is greater than any. court now
conducted In the city. Half Of the fees
and costs OF the court would go to the
county and the court would have jur-
isdiction thruout the county. The
court has Jurisdiction in civil actions
up to $1,000. Appeal from the NUM-

the details Of this dreadful affair locked
for ever in my breast, but sense OF
duty to my fellowmen compels me to
stand here as a horrible example. You
who are young and lovesick, be warned
