Parks Cleared and Mrs. Joe Shindler Case Dismissed.

Charles C. Parks, who drives the school hack in Newton township and who was arrested for having slapped the little daughter of Ed McFadden, was acquitted when tried in W. I. Spitler’ court last Saturday. He claimed that he had administered only light punishment and that as a necessary matter of discipline. Mrs. Joe Shindler, who had been arrested on a charge of provocation made by Louis Whicker, had her case dismissed because no justice’s court outside the township had jurisdiction in provoke cases and Mrs. Shindler lived in Newton township where thereis no justice of the peace. It will be necessary if Mr. Whicker, desires to have the case prosecuted to bring it in the circuit court.

George Zea spent Sunday with his father, Lyman Zea, at the hospital in Hammond, and found him getting along very nicely and apparently on the road to recovery.
