““It is pointed out that the statute requires that an oral complaint be first made to the magistrate, and he thereupon is required to put the person complaining and the other witnesses produced by him under oath; and the complaint shall then be reduced to writing, but need not have a written verification on oath appended to it, but it,must be based on the ■sworn oral statements of the complainant and witnesses, if any are produced, made to the magistrate on examination by him. If, after such proceeding, the magistrate is satisfied that an offense has been committed and that the person accused is the probable offender,.he is authorized to issue a warrant reciting the substance of the complaint and directing his apprehension. ... It is supposed that the facts disclosed to the nhagistrate upon his examination on oath of the complainant and the' witnesses, if any, satisfies him that an offense has been committed and that a warrant should issue for the apprehension of the person charged.” See, also, State v. Davie, 62 Wis. 305 , 22 N. W. 411 ; State ex rel. Long v. Keyes, 75 Wis. 288 , 44 N. W. 13 ; State v. Bielby, 21 Wis. 204 ; State v. Hobbs, 39 Me. 212 .”
