Jasper County Democrat, Volume 7, Number 49, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 March 1905 — THE CIRCUIT COURT. [ARTICLE]

THE CIRCUIT COURT.

The February term of the circuit court ends to-day. The jury was discharged Wednesday for the term. Following is some of the more important business of the term not heretofore reported: In the case of Warner Bros. vs. Rensselaer Castle Hall Association for foreclosure of mechanic’s lien, the Dickinson Trust Co., who hold a first mortgage on the property for $12,000, will contest the priority of this lien to their mortgage, and the case goes over until next term. Said trust company will also foreclose their mortgage on the building. John Eger holds a second mortgage for $4,500, and is said to be undecided whether to pay off prior liens or lose his claim. The cases against August Treichel and Louise Treichel, his wife, of Dunnville, for selling liquor without license, which were in progress when The Democrat went to press last week, resulted in a disagreement of the jury, and they will come up again next term. The case went to the jury Friday at 3 p. m., and at 10 p. m., they reported that they could not agree, and were discharged. The two cases of Jasper Guy vb. Josephine Guy, for damages and divorce, were continued for term. John Eger vs. John T. Sayler, Alfred Collins and T. J. Sayler; judgment for $126.10 vs. first named defendants; continued as to T. J. Sayler. State vs. Aaron Claspel of Dunnville, charged with killing pheasants; continued to April terra under SIOO bonds.

Frank Phillips vs. Alkanah Galbreath; defendant found to be of unsound mind by jury and court appoints Richard Grow guardian.
