THE COURT HOUSE

Items Picked Up About The County Capitol. Stewart & Son, the Hanging Grove, stone road contractors, have quit work on the contract until spring, owing to inability to secure teams. —o— Road supervis ore in Indiana are to be elected the second Saturday after the first Monday in December, which is Dec. 16. The elec; tion was provided for by the la»t legislature. Under the old law road supervisors were elected last January for two years. The new law makes the incumbents give way to a set of supervisors to be elected next month. Winanac Journal: By agreement between the Monon Railway Company and owners of the buildings bn the disputed property at Francesville, the four attorneys who bought the claim against the company will receive $15,000 in settlement of the judgment. This will give the attorneys, Messrs. H. A. Steis, M. M. Hathway, M. Winfield and C. Spencer, after the payment of litigation expenses, about $3,500 each. Thomas F. Staton and Willie F. Granger have each given notice that they will apply at the December term of commissioners’ court for saloon licenses at Kersey, a little town of about fifty or one hundred people at the crossing of the Gifford and Three-I railroads in Keener tp. As Keener was never known to make any objections to dispensaries of booze, it is a cinch that both applications are granted, then the only excuse Kerseyites going thirsty will be because they haven’t got the price. —o New suits filed: No. 6966.
