In early days in the Manaker
Lake community, near Hogtown,
in Eastland County, an old Justice
of the peace tried a man for carry-
ing a pistol and sentenced him
to three years in the State peni-
tentiary. The constable set out in
a buggy with his prisoner. As
they were eating lunch in Stephen-
viile, a lawyer asked the lawyer:
"What are you taking him to
! Huntsville for'.'"
"Three years,”
"I mean for what offense?” the
lawyer persisted.
"For carrying a pistol."
"Good heavens!” the attorney
exclaimed. "That’s only a mis-
demeanor. punishable by a fine
and, at most, a jail sentence. If
he was accused of something that
would subject him to prison, he
would have to be tried before a
district judge in Eastland, your
Justice doesn’t have Jurisdiction in

So the constable returned to
Manaker Like, released the man. j
and reported to the old ’squire, j
"That lawyer subl you didn't
