CIVIL SUITS SET FOR TRIAL LAST THREE WEEKS.

None of the State Cases Set and Prosecuting Attorney is Absent Owing to Sickness in Family.

ProsecuUng Attorney Fred Longwell, of Brook, nas not in Rensselaer Tuesday morning when cases were called up in order that they might be set for trial, and as a consequence none of the state cases of which there are several, were set for trial. Five of the state cases are against Clinton L. Bader, and are based on an alleged violation of specifications in the construction of bridges by the Winamac Bridge Co. The indictments were returned against Bader last May and nothing has so far been done to bring the cases to trial. The statute says that if state cases are permitted to go over three terms, exclusive of the one at which the indictments were returned, the plaintiff shall be dismissed unless the postponement was caused by the motion of the defendant. Thus, if the ’cases are not set for trial at this term they will go over until January and if not set then they will be dismissed. If that results, the only thing on which Bader can be held is the case on which he was convicted, which stands a chance of being reversed in the supreme court. Mr. Longwell assigned as his cause of absence, sickness in his family. Of the civil cases set for trial the most interesting are probably the Pancoast ditch, which is being fought by Jay Stockton, and the case be-' tween Barney D. Comer and Leslie Alter. In the latter case Judge Hanley ruled himself off the bench, saying that he had heard the case thrashed over and that he thought another judge should hear it. Judge Wasson, of Delphi, was agreed upon. The case of Mrs. Eva Greenlee vs. Mrs. Edna I. Powell will attract some attention. The suit is to recover notes given for the purchase of the Nowels hotel lease and effects, ana since the suit was begun the Powells have vacated the hotel and Mrs. Greenlee has not taken possession. The Condon case will probably attract a number of interested parties from Benton county. The estate is valued at about $40,000 and there are eleven heirs, some of them seeking to set aside the will. The suit of Christian L. Hensler against the Fountain Park Association will probably be a hard fought one and bring a number of people from Remington to the county seat the third Wednesday. Among the out-of-town lawyers here this morning were: William Darroch and T. B. Cunningham, of Kentland; Emery Sellers, of Monticello; Elmore Barce, of Fowler, and Jasper Guy, of Remington. Many of the cases were postponed pending settlements outside and others by mutual agreement of the attorneys. Three divorce cases, viz., Mollie Goodner vs. Harry Goodner, Mary Jane Beasey Gray vs. William Gray, and Belle Marlin vs. Stephen T. Marlin will probably be dismissed The plaintiffs in the Goodner and Gray suits seem to have disappeared, and it is a good riddance to the community. The Marlins have patched up the temporary rent in their matrimonial habitation and Steve says “Those who God has hitched agather let no man put to thunder." Another divorce case is that of Kenoyer vs. Kenoyer, venued here Newton county. It is spoken of in another column. The cases so far set are as follows: Second Week. Monday, Nov. 21st. —Lane vs. St. Louis R. R. Co. et al. Wednesday, Nov. 23rd.—Abner C. Pancoast, petition for public drain. Friday, Nov. 25th.—State of Indiana ex rel B. D.
