Jasper County Democrat, Volume 5, Number 17, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 August 1902 — ABOUT THE COURT HOUSE. [ARTICLE]

ABOUT THE COURT HOUSE.

Item* of Interest Gathered In the Oft ices and Corridors of the County Capitol. Commissioners’ court meets Monday. —o — Judge Darroch was over Saturday from Kentland on court business. —o — Marriage licenses: July 26, William C. Weay to Nancy A. Hufford. Only 6 marriage licenses were issued during July, against 14 for the month previous, and 10 for July, 1901. The annual estimate of expenditures for 1903 by the various township trustees, and the tax levies to cover the same, must be published next week. We notice that the bridge letting advertised for “Saturday, August 26, 1902,” (when the commissioners’ order was for “Saturday, July 26,) has been changed to read “Tuesday, August 26.” We also notice that both advertisements are for five separate bridges, while the commissioners’ record is for the letting of only two bridges, one in Keener and one in Carpenter, and the order was for this letting to be on July 26. There has been no special session since the July 26th order was made, and we guess that there will be no letting on Tuesday, August 26, unless the commissioners so order and readvertise once more. —O’New suits filed: No. 6355. George F. Meyers vs. Michael H. Good et al; action to quiet title. No. 6356. Mary A. Sunderland vs Frank Sunderland; action for divorce. Process returnable Sept. 22. The plaintiff says in her complaint that she was married to defendant, Jan. 1, 1890, and they separated Sept. 8, 1901. She alleges habitual drunkeness on the part of defendant for the past five years, failure to support her for two years past, and cruel and inhuman treatment. She asks for SSOO alimony. Defendant is not now a resident of Indiana, she says. The parties are both well known in south Marion and Jordan tp., where they have resided for several years.
