COURT HOUSE NEWS IN BRIEF

Interesting Paragraphs from tlie Various Departments OF JASPER COUNTY CAPITOL The Legal News Epitomized— Together with Other Notes Gathered from the Several County Offices. But two marriage licenses have been issued so far this month. Attorney George Williams was in Lafayette on legal business Wednesday. The grand jury adjourned Wednesday after returning one indictment —the nature of which we are unable to state as no arlest has been made at this writing—until Thursday next, when some unfinished business will be taken up.

Marriage licenses issued : Xov. 16. Russel Edward Prince of Rensselaer, aged 23, occupation farmer, to Elsie May Smith, daughter of J. K. Smith of Rensselaer, aged 19, occupation milliner. First marriage for each. Married by Squire Irwin in clerk’s office. Clerk Warner now has lots of transcript work on hand and his pocket-book will wax fat as a result. Everett Greenlee is appealing his case against Trustee Lane of Newton tp., and the Browns, et al. are taking up the Marble ditch case. In the latter case the transcript will probably make about 1.200 pages.

Drs. Loy, English and Hemphill and Squire Irwin held an insanity inquest Thursday on John W. Hurley of Barkley tp., a widower aged 56 years, whose write died only a- few' weeks ago. He is now' at the home of his brother in Parr. While not voilent, he is melanchollv. worries, weeps a great deal, imagines he has committed some crime, does not eat nor sleep. He was found to be insane and application has been made for taking him to Longcliff. ® » New suits filed: No. 7798. Rex Clifton vs. Jennie Clifton; action for divorce. '»

The plaintiff resides at Fair Oaks, and the parties were married Feb. 5. 1908. and separated in August of the same year, when, ’the complaint alleges, defendant without cause wholly abandoned plaintiff and he has ever since been unable to locate defendant, although he has made repeated efforts so to do. They have one child as the fruits of said marriage which defendant placed in the care and custody of plaintiff/ Guy Clifton of Ghicagro, whom plaintiff asks the custody of.

No. 7799. Otto Schwranke. Adm.. vs. Jane Schwanke; action in partition. Sheriff Hoover got a. new boarder Wednesday night, when Alva Brouhard of Fair Oaks, who has been husking corn over near Kentland. was brought over from the latter place to lay out a fine and costs of 513.55 for the alleged consumption of too much booze at Kentland. Unless the sheriff gets someone else to keep Alva company it will be rather lonesome for him. as he is the only occupant of the jail at the present time. It is said that he has plenty of the long green in his pocket, but the. weather is not very good for corn husking now anyway, and the steam-heated quarters in the county bastile are not so bad if one isn’t particular about the name. Hence Alva proposes to hang onto his hardearned dollars and let Newton county settle his “hotel” bill.
