Gain -- Court Is Carried Into Remote Area Temporary Court of Law Set Up by Mounties in Great Open Spaces A 'modern version of the old adage, "If the mountain will not come to Mohammed, Mohammed must go to the mountain," was -enacted when a member of "K" Division, R.C.M,P.," carried justice into a remote drought area of Al: berta, . In the blistering -heat of 100 degrees in the shade, Cst. D. F, Von Blarcom, accompanied by ° Police Magistrate W. H. Gray of Brooks, Alta., travelled over 50 miles to set up a temporary court of law at Cessford.' The purpose of the patrol was to save the ac- cused the expense of coming to court; the accused had no money, and besides there was no trans- portation available, The infractions were minor ones, the heat was intense; yet the improviséd community-hall courtroom was crowded with a curious audience, attracted by the unusual" occurrence of a law ses- . sion in their village, The police- man went an additional 10 miles to bring the accused inj but such a friendly spirit existed after the hearing, he didn't have to make the return trip--the complainant took the aceused home, Every- "body was happy and a jovial spirit pervaded all. On its way home through the rough badlands the itinerant court came upon a truck driven by a .man who apparently. preferred last year's license plates. The charge was written out then and there, and a summons handed to the offender. He asked to be tried at once, bared his head, and without delay court was opened in the name of the King. Out there in-the great open spaces, the ac- eused pleaded guilty, and paid his fine, By then it was 9.30 in the eve- ning, long past meal-time, and the magistrate and constable be- gan to think about having sup- per. But the demands of law administration were not over for that day.. While passing through Patricia the law officers were stopped and called upon to settle a disorderly conduct charge against a local resident. The ac- cused -was- brought in- court=the "| hotel lobby this time--but he was not quite so agreeable. Appearing with nothing on but his pants, he had to be threatened with a charge of contempt of court be- fore the case was successfully concluded. : ! . Tired and hungry, the two dis- pensers of justice returned home, --|- satisfied they had done a good day's work. C.N.R. Revenues Up .
