Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 60, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 March 1911 — New Crown Point Superior Court to Start March 13. [ARTICLE]

New Crown Point Superior Court to Start March 13.

Preparations are now being made by Judge Johannes Kopelke and County Clerk Shortridge to start the new Superior court in Crown Point on March 13th, the next Monday after the circuit court adjourns. It is understood that Judge Kopelke and Judge McMahan will soon have a conference and that Judge McMahan will transfer a number of cases filed ill his court over to the Superior court. In this way the congested condition of the circuit court will be helped out in good shape. The clerk’s office has sent a special order for new books and printed matter to Indianapolis, dnd as soon as this arrives the wheels of the new court will be oiled by Judge Kopelke and started. The new court will require an extra bailiff and court reporter. McKenzie, new reporter for the circnit court, will do the work also for the Crown Point branch of the Superior court. Harry E. Folk, now reporter for the Jasper circuit court, will act for Judge Kopelke in the Hammond branch and also for Judge McMahan in the Porter county court. The new bailiff for the local Superior court here has not yet been appointed.— Lake County Star. 1
