THE COURT HOUSE

Items Picked Up About the County Capitol. Attorney Guy of Remington was in the city on business yesterday. licenses issued: Nov. 13, James C. Clark of Rensselaer, aged 38, occupation eqglneer, to Lora Pearl Meyers of Parr, aged 28, occupation milliner. First marriage for each. —•— The Heilscher ditch in Walker and Wheatfield townships, was ordered Constructed by Judge Hanley Saturday. John H. Tilton of Wheatfield was. appointed superintendent. W. S. Potter, J. W. Burget and John Knox had filed remontsrances but the court held the remonstrances were filed too late. - The case of Bowers vs. Bowers, or Eppler case, ended Saturday. That is the evidence was all in, but one of the parties asked for a special finding of facts, which we understand now will be withdrawn and the court will be asked to decide the matter in controversy. The jui;y came in Monday but was excused until Tuesday, 1 p. m., when the case of Dr. Solt vs. Warren White of Wheatfield, case came up. This is a case where Dr. Solt of Medaryville is suing for professional services, and is likely to be closely contested, probably lasting two or three days. The case of the State vs. August Rosenbaum, the old “blind tiger” case, was dismissed by the deputy prosecutor Monday, who stated that the prosecuting witness was some place in Michigan and that there was no funds provided for getting her here. The whiskey and beer seized when this raid was made last spring will now be returned to Mr. Rosenbaum. There were nearly two barrels and a case or two of bottled beer and a score of quarts of whiskey in the lot which has been in the sheriff’s charge since the raid. '

In the Peacock vs. Peacock case, while no entry has been made by the court, it is understood an agreement has been entered into whereby Mr. Peacock will pay the $7 per week to his wife, ordered paid by the court last March, dating from the filing of her suit for support last January, and S3O has already been paid the clerk on account thereof. In consideration of this we understand Mr. Peacock is to be given possession of the small farm at the west side of town, owned jointly by the husband and wife, and the case of indirect contempt of court filed against him is to be dismissed. He is to pay the $7 per week dating from last January, less the net amount Mrs. Peacock has received as income from the farm. ......
