The circuit court adjourned Monday until Dec. 1, when the jury will return and several cases will be tried, among which is the forgery case against A. P. Baker, and the Coen vs. Halstead and Forsythe vs. Rensselaer cases, which will be heard by Judge Lairy of Logansport. In the Keplinger ditch case in Gillam tp., the court ordered that Keplinger pay SB4 50 and costs of suit and the treasurer he enjoined from collecting any further money. This assessment was about $l9O. The case of the State vs. Liggett came up Friday and motion to quash indictment was sustained. fThe “Symposium” to the bar of the 30th judicial circiut was held at the Nowels House Thursday afternoon and was attended by some fifty invited guests. If anyone thought the affair was gotten up as an electioneering scheme to boom Judge Thompson for another term, their minds were disabused of the error, as no reference to the future judgeship was allowed in the addresses, and it is the consensus of opinion now that Judge Thompson will not be a candidate for further honors.’} Judge Wiley of Indianapolis made a nice speech, as did also Hon. Patrick Keefe of Kentland, and others. Mr. Keefe’s talk as might have been expected was the best of any delivered. As an orator Mr. Keefe has no equal in this section of the state.
