Court Notes.

The maintenance case of Mr. and Mrs. John Schofield was heard Monday. Mr. Schofield has disappeared with the two children, and was not present. His present whereabouts are unknown. Mrs. Schofield was granted the custody of one of the children and her quarterly allowance was raised from $25 to $36. As Mr. Schofield still has some notes in the hands of his brother, the maintenance money can be collected. An attachment for contempt of court has been issued against Mr. Schofield and placed in the hands of the sheriff and if he can be found he will be brought before the court for not obeying its previous order, which was to allow the children to go with either parent they chose and to allow the mother to visit them whenever she cared to. At the death of E. W. Morris, Wm. R. Nowels was appointed adminstrator. Charles Morris objected, however, and by agreement of the parties, Mr. Nowels resigned and J. J. Hunt was appointed in his place. Court adjourned on Tuesday until Monday on account of the indisposition of the Judge.
