Circuit Court.

The Jasper Circuit Court convened last Monday afternoon, with Judge U. Z. Wiley on the bench. As a general thing the first day in court there is but little business of any importance ransaeted. On Tuesday,! the time was mostly by making the preliminary arrangements of the various cases on the docket of a probate nature. Two divorce cases were brought up and disposed of. That of Stockwell vs. Stockwell wav, taken up and a divorce granted the plaintiff, together with the care and custody of an only child. The parties reside in Walker township. A divorce was also granted in the case of Alice M. ‘Wheeler vs. Edmund Wheeler. Both parties are residents of Jordan township. M. F. Chilcote was the attorney in both these cases. In the divorce case of Spencei vs. Spencer, appealed to this court from White county, tl e plaintiff asks for an allowant e of 83,500 for the further pr< secution of the case, and that point will be argued by the attorneys to-morrow moinior.
