COURT HOUSE NEWS IN BRIEF

Interesting Paragraphs From the Various Departments OF JASPER COUNTY CAPITOL The Legal News Epitomized—Together with Other Notes Gathered from the Several County Offices. Attorney Roy Blue was down from Wheatfield Wednesday on legal business. Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Hobbs were at South Bend Wednesday, the former having some business mat-, ters to look after. Remember the public sale of the Stauffenberg 303-acre farm at 2:30 p. m. today, at the premises, four miles southeast of Rensselaer. U. G. Collins of Roselawn was in Rensselaer on business Wednesday. Mr. Collins has been working for a man named Jones who owns a farm near Roselawn, and being unable to make an amicable settlement he was here to consult a lawyer. The work of redecorating the interior of the court house has been busily going oh this ■week. Two of the six men who went out last week on a strike for 10 cents more per hour —they were already receiving from 50 to 60 cents per hour —returned to work and some new men were secured to take the places of the others. . .

William T. Abbott of Chicago, who was here Sunday and spoke at both Remington and Rensselaer in the interests of the Red Cross campaign, has declined to accept any remuneration for time or expenses, Chairman Spitler having received a letter from him to that effect. Mr. Abbott is a very able speaker and the success of the Rensselaer meeting was no doubt partly due to the masterful talk he made here. In compliance with a request made by the government, The Democrat is publishing in this issue the names of all the young men who registered in, Jasper county recently for military purposes, the conscription registration list. This list was furnished by the registration board and was carefully read by copy, therefore, we think it is absolutely correct. If you know of anyone in the county who failed to register report their name to the county registration board. The complete list appears on another page.
