It is expected that Judge Palmer of the White circuit court will render his decision in the Newton county court house mandate cases in a few days. No matter which side wins in the circuit court, it will not stop there but will go to the supreme court where it will probably be a year or more before final decision is rendered. There was a mix-up at the Mark Reed school in Jordan, a few days ago between the teacher, Miss Travis, and a twelve or fourteen year old boy pupil by the name of Tullis. The boy is said to have pulled a pocket knife and cut the teacher on the hand, and used his best efforts to do her up completely. On complaint of Miss Travis, the boy was arrested yesterday and on plea of guilty in the circuit court was fined $lO and costs. “Kid” Hennessy, the prize fighter, plead guilty in the White circuit court to indulging in the the manly art with “Kid” Landis at Wolcott last fall, and was given a fine of SSO and trimmings. Landis, who was indicted with Hennessy, is now located at Chicago IJeights, and as prize fighting is not an extraditable offense, we understand, he will probably stay across the line while the indictment against him holds good.
