THE COURT HOUSE

Items Picked Up About the County Capitol. Marriage licenses Issued: April 7, Roy Bißher of Momence, 111., aged 21, occupation farmer, to Carrie L. Frank, also of Momence, aged 22, occupation housekeeper. First marriage for each. At the regular meeting of the county board of education Monday there were some three or four trustees absent, owing to good weather and oats sowing being on. Not much of special Importance was done. Some of the trustees took out their allotment of seed corn for the boy’s corn growing contest and all those present took out the necessary enumeration blanks for taking the school enumeration. /"Sheriff O’Connor was up to Kersey Tuesday disposing of the Geo. Laßerge stock of goods, which were attached by creditors some months ago when enroute from Gifford to some point in North Dakota. Claims aggregating some $3,000 were filed against the goods, which sold for an ewen SSOO to John Meyers of Knlman. After the costs are deducted there will be a mighty small pot to divide among the creditors.

In the Newton circuit court last week the Roselawn remonstrance was held to be three names short by Judge Hanley in the appealed case of Wm. Kight. The remonstrators had a majority of nine to start on, but Judge Hanley decided that twelve names were illegal and license was ordered issued. This is a severe blow to the temperance forces there who have labored zealously for a long time ■lO-OUst the saloons from their township. The case of Charles Holle of Kniman vs. the C. ft E. I. Ry., for damages for delay in transporting a threshing outfit from this county to some point in North Dakota, taken from here on change of venue, was tried in the Newton circuit court last week and decided in favor of the railroad company. By reason of the delay in the machine’s reaching its destination Mr. Holle was unable to do any threshing there, the season being over when it arrived, but he has to grin and bear it. It is reported that some of the depositors of the Parker defunct bank are circulating asking that the County Council of Jasper county to appropriate SIOOO to prosecute Robert Parker. This looks like rank extravagance for Parker’s—only SSOO was appropriated in the Gilman case and but s#so of that was paid out in attorney fees and Gilman is as safely in the penitentiary as Tom McCoy, whose conviction cost $1,250 In attorney fees. The county council should consult some home attorneys about assisting in the prosecution—and if they consider SSOO insufficient, Newton county can furnish assistance to the prosecutor for that amount that cannot be discounted in this end of Indiana. —Brook Reporter.
