Boys Are Let Out. The supreme court settled the disputed question of whether justices of the peace can sentence boys to the reform school by holding that they have no jurisdiction in such actions. Three boys Frank Bestwick, Elmer L.Stokes and Wi field S. Hay were arrested in Sabetha for stealing a quantity of beer from the Wells Fargo express office. They were taken be fore a justice of the peace and sen' tenecd to the reform school.

Appliea tion was at once made to the supreme court for a writ of habeas corpus on the ground that a justice of tlie peace could not commit to the reform school The supreme court upholds the contention and explicitly states that commitments to the reform school can only emanate from probate or district judges. One peculiar fact of the pro ceeding is that the boys are not now in the reform school, having been paroled some time ago and sent home. Topeka Capital. Marriage Licenses. John F.
