I. KlMtlAI.L. V. R. Jcnu. L. C. Lee. Wiien thy justice had ihe "l-ond" s.ifely iu his possrsaion he issued the warrant, and on Tuc?d.iy the accused were promptly taken before his honor, Col. II. T. Kiiubail, who haopeued lo be there, appearing as their counsel. T.iis wws a climai to thft farce, a? everyone knows why "Uel-c" went into the case. The people were represented rep-resented by Mr. Joseph Reese, who is the prosecutor iu Baths' court. Col. Kimball's first move was to get an adjournment iHl Wednesday, Wednes-day, which the justice granted, bill lie refused to take bail for the prisoners, although $10,000 with good sureties was oflcred, saying it was not a b.uUb'o case; consequent' tlio accused were remanded to the custody of an ofiieer for the night. Tne proceedings pro-ceedings on Wednesday were in keeping keep-ing with the ether legal doings of the justice. People who know Colonel K. will imagine moro vividly than we can relate the fun that he had with the justice and that complaint which charged the branding of "tne dark brown maro with a glass eye," and those several other things "tou numerous to mention." We understand under-stand that the proceed iuga were of such an amusing character that even the sturdy grangers left their plows and attended the court. There were uany laughable incidents, but the relation ol a few will indicate the nature of the whole. On one occasion counsel moved for a recess of fillcc-n minutes to enable himself and others to go out and test the quality of Qrantsville beer. The J. P. granted the motion, and the buys got their "malt irrigation.'' During the proceedings tho J. P. appointed a "committee of two," to go out and examine the animals in question and appraise them. The report of the "com 111 it loo" was in eflect that if they owned the animals they would sell them for $125, but they wouldn't like to buy for that pries. However they thought the animals were probably prob-ably worth that sum, half cash and half carrots. The fiirce finally approached its termination, when the J. P. discharged dis-charged Carter and held Lyman in bonds of $i!00 to appear before the district court for trial. Subsequently the bond was increased to 2o0, tho justice being told thJl the h.iii ought to be twice as much as the value of ihc property branded "with a gla;s eye and bald face." Carter oilcred hiuiselt as boudsman, when tho J. P. took advice of the defendant's counsel coun-sel us to whether it would ho legal to accept an unmarried man as surely on a bond. Being informed that it would be legal, the bond was signed and Lyman released, while Mr. D. P. Kimball obtained possession of his horsea. Mr. Bates is doubtless a good, holiest gi ntlt'inaii, but ho make U very poor juatieu of llio peace. Bring J. 1'. in'idi'iitly imm'L his "lay;" and if hi.1 ii uin; lo continue in tho ollieo he bIioiiM imito homo one to iiihiiininti-r n few external tUm-a of b:.'.'l;.i with oheip-kin covem. And lie in not the only J. P. in the territory terri-tory wiio in uixt to a legal ignoramun, ftf the frequniit beriouy blunders in their courts which have to be cor-lectid cor-lectid in tin higher tiibuuaU leulify. |
