The Jasper circuit court convened Monday. Roy Stevenson was fined §1 and costs on plea of guilty to assault and battery. Vern Jacks was the complaining witness. Stevenson took Jack’s cornet apart, and Jacks caused his arrest. Chas. Cordray, who was bound over to court on surety of peace proceedings, was let go on his own recognizance, himself or bondsmen to pay accrued costs. In the case of Frank Frogge, of Morocco, charged with importing voters, his bond was declared forfeited as he failed to appear for trial. Frogge is supposed to have leaped over into Canada. In the case of the SIO,OOO damage suit of Frank E. Babcock vs. Geo. E.
