THE COURT HOUSE

Items Picked Up About the County Capitol. This is the last week of the September term of the Jasper circuit court. The Newton circuit court will convene Monday. New suits filed: No.' 7365. Frank Krempel vs. Horace Marble; petition to have deed set aside. No. 7366. R. M. Karr and Edward Karr vs. George W. Bowman; action for an accounting. —o On another page will be found a complete roster of the Jasper county school officers and teachers, together with the postoffice address of each. This list will be of interest to many readers of The Democrat and the paper should be preserved for future reference. It is reported that night-riders are abroad in Jasper county—or bee hunters, rather —and the other night a farm in Hanging Grove tp., was visited and a bee tree cut down and the large amount of honey contained therein was made away with. The parties were caught in the act, but the identity is being kept from the public for the present we are told. —o — The county commissioners did nothing Monday except allow claims, of which there were an unusual number owing to the special election claims. The members of these election boards were allowed for only one day, except the inspectors, who were allowed for three days. They had filed claims for two days, while most of the inspectors had filed for four days.
