Jasper County Democrat, Volume 13, Number 49, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 September 1910 — THE COURT HOUSE [ARTICLE]

THE COURT HOUSE

Items Picked Up About the County Capitol. Hon. Will Wood of Lafayette was in the city Saturday on court business. Co. Supt. Lamson returned a few days ago from attending a meeting of the county superintendents of the 10th, 12th and 13th districts, which was held at Warsaw. - The application for admission of “Shorty” Adams to Longcliff has been suspended for lack of room, and there is no telling how long it will be before they can take hilt?. ; licenses issued : Sept. 23, Thomas Jensen of Rensselaer, aged 26, occupation pharmacist, to Ella Beatrice Langdon, daughter of Henry L. Langdon, of W heatneld, aged 24, occupation teacher, first marriage for each. Xew suits filed: No. 7652. John M. Hillir, et al, petition for trustee of maturing bonds of Monon railway. Sam Murdock of Lafayette appointed by the county. * Xo. 7653. W illiam B. Austin vs. James M. Dickey, et al; suit to foreclose mortgage. Demand $3,000. In the mention of the divorce case of Marlin vs. Marlin in The Democrat last w r eek, the linotype made us say that Mrs. Marlin was married June 30, 1895, and that after a year defendant abandoned plaintiff, returning to her in 1898. It should have read 1885 and 1888. It seems to us that an attorney who is being employed to look after the interests of Jasper county is„ out of place in defending the allegd robbing of the taxpayer. Mr. Halleek would have exercised better taste had he kept out of these bridge graft cases — at least in appearing on the side that he has. In the matter of the petition for the removal of the Banner school house in Milroy tp., no decision has been reached yet. ~ County Supt. Lamson at present is investigating the petition, which has but a majority of 1. If he finds that the petition is all that it is claimed for, he will probably grant the petition. Notes from the circuit court docket: John P. Ryan ditch; report filed rejecting Gifford outlet and recommending Pinkamink route. Petitioners ordered to file amended petition and give new notice. Cecil Clyde Randle ditch; C. I. & L. Ry. Co., file motion to reject 2d report of viewer. Lewis .J. Lane vs. St. Louis & Southwestern R. R., Co., et al; cause re-set for trial by agreement on 2d Monday of November. James F. Irwin, adm. of estate of Archibald and Mary Burns; sale of real estate; reported to Truman J. Spencer for SSOO, full appraised value. Sale confirmed and deed approved. Union Trust Co., vs. Marion I. Adams; jury trial, verdict for defendant. i " '. * .
