THE LATEST FROM NEWTON.

Goodland Herald: We are frequently asked the questions, “what will be the next move in the court house problem?” We don’t know and have failed to find anybody who does. . Even Judge Hammond, ’tis said, failed to read the combination at the first dash and took thirty days for consideration before venturing an opinion as to what course to pursue. The supreme court hunts for technicalities in the court house location enterprise with all the ardor of a jaybird going after a fishworm, and there will be no more warwhoops of victory reverbrating along the mosquito-infested banks of the historical Iroquois until the statutes and supreme court reports of Indiana are fully masticated and spread out over a record that even the Japanese navy couldn’t puncture at short range. Sorry, but this is all the “court house”’ news we have for this issue.
