Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 219, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 September 1915 — CIRCUIT COURT. [ARTICLE]

CIRCUIT COURT.

The September term of the Jasper circuit court convened Monday. The docket was called Tuesday and cases set for trial, the full trial calendar appearing elsewhere in this issue. Attorneys Barce, of Fowler, Cunningham, of Kentland, Rogers, of Morocco, were in court Tuesday, in addition to members of the local bar. The docket is full and a great many more cases set for trial than can be tried, but as usual many cases are disposed of without actual trial, by compromise, dismissal, settlement out of court and otherivise. Probably the most important case is the Ryan ditch case. Mr. Cunningham, of Kentland, who acted as special judge, was on the bench and upon affidavit of- Oscar Moore a change of venue was granted and the usual method of suggesting three names to select from will be made. It is hoped that a judge can be agreed upon so that the case may be tried in vacation following the September term.
