State Case Against Grim Failed for Lack of Evidence.

Robert Grim lives in Barkley township. Likewise John Bund. There is a disagreement about the right of Burd to farm some land there which Grim owns. Bird claims he has an assignment of a lease. Grim ordered Burd off the land. Burd had him arrested for carrying concealed weapons, claiming that he had a gun. He told the prosecutor that he could find four witnesses who saw Grim with the gun. The witnesses did not materialize and when the case was called before Squire John Moore, of Barkley, Grim was acquitted.
