THE COURT HOUSE

Items Picked Up About the County Capitol. Dr. H. L. Brown has been appointed administrator of the estate of the late Fletcher Monnett. Only four marriage licenses have been issued so far this month, and but three ■ new suits filed. Thte clerk’s miscellaneous receipts for the mionth had only amounted to $11.20 up to yesterday. H4jeorge W. Infield has sold qis 405 acres of land in 31-29-5, in Hanging Grove tp., a part oi the old McCoy lands, to Daniel L. Speicher of Wabash county. Thte consideration named in the deed is $34,425. This is the largest real estate deal pulled off in the county for some time. Sheriff Shirer is again without any star boarders. W. H. Kearney the Newton county “insane man,” was turned loose Saturday morning, on orders from the Newton county sheriff, and he at once got out of town, prooably taking a freight out. This action was taken, we understand, after the Xewon county authorities had conferred with the officials of Longcliff asylum, who directed that the man be turned loose. Apparently he was as sane as anyone when released. He said “booze” was at the bottom of his trouble, and declared that he was going to cut it out.
