DISTRICT COURT DoINcs

The regular December term of dis
trict court for Trego county has
been in session this week at the court
house A number of smaller cases
and court cases have been disposed
of The regular quota of attorneys
have been present
In the case of the State VS. Frank
Hardie, charged with selling mort
gagged property, Hardie plead guilty
and has been sentenced to not over
five years in the state penitentiary
He will be taken to Lansing in a few
days.
The case of the State rs Paul Ker-
aus in a liquor case, the defendant
plead guilty and was given a fine of
800 and costs and a Jail sentence
of thirty days. The Jail sentence was
held in allegiance a parole bond.
The Central Motor Co. of Salina
VS. II. F. Kline, was a suit for, or for
the possession of Studabaker auto
"a hours and brought in a verdict
in favor of the defendant.
The board of school district No. L
secured restraining order against the
Mayor and Council of Wa-Keeney
restraining the operations of the city
ordinance passed and published last
week, insofar as this ordinance ap-
piled to the school of District No. 1
and the Trego County High School.
After hearing the argument Judge
Purcell made the restraining order
permanent on the ground that the
Mayor and Council lacked Jurisdiction
to impose and inforce such an ordi-
nance. We understand the case is to
be taken to the supreme court and it
will be a good thing as a decision
by that tribunal will settle the case
for all time.
