Constable Viok went out in Hanging Grove tp., Saturday and arrested John Clapp, of Lafayette, and Peter Peterson, of Hanging Grove, on the charge of trespass on complaint of Cadwallader brothers. Clapp owns a farm in Hanging Grove and Cadwalladers are his tenants, their time being out next March, when Peterson is to ocj cupy the place. Caldwalladers charge that the other two,, went upon the land and took away some hogs in which the Cadwalladers claimed a partnership interest. Also that the other men went to plowing in oat stubble, ( for fall wheat. The Cadwalladers put the others off the land and then followed up with this prosecution. Squire Burnham heard the trial Saturday and reserved his decision until next Wednesday.

RENSSELAEjR, JASPER COUNTY, INDIANA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1899,

Wise Editors and Civilized Wolves.

Our much esteemed neighboring editorial brethren of the Remington Press and the Monticello Herald, join in a mutual pean of rejoicing over the fact that in both Jasper and White counties there will be no bounties on wolves after next January. They agree that men (we think they mean some men) will pursue wolves just as fiercely and slay them just as remorselessly without a bounty as with it. Now we think this is only true' in part. In the cases of these two valiant editors for instanoeit would make no difference to them in their pursuit of wolves whether there was a bounty on them or not; and it would make no difference to the wolves either, for their scalps would be safe, bounty or no bounty. The pen may be mightier than the sword, but when it comes to killing wolves a pen is not in it with >ia < long distance shot gun loaded with Buck shot. Our editors hold further that a region so far advanced in civilization as ours, does not need to pay bounties on its ferocious and destructive f®r® naturae. But that is a novel plea surely, and it is first time we ever heard the idea advanced that even the wolves and foxes of the country were yielding to the civilizing and humanizing influences of our modern reading circles and traveling libraries, womens club, Epworth Leagues, free reading rooms ect. We had thought that the only effect of civilization on wolves was to educate them out of their liking for the wild and woolly cotton tails and to develope in them a highly discriminating and epicurean taste for such civilized proucts as highly bred young pigs, lambs, calves and the like, with an occasional variation in diet of chickens, turkeys and other farm poultry. Yea, verily, had not these sapient editors given us the benefit of their wolf wisdom we should have continued to believe that the more “civilized” a community is, the more harm the wolves do, from the very fact of their appetites being educated up to a civilized diet of pigs, poultry, calves and sheep.

Charged With a Foul Crime.

The iSowel Record gives the facts of the arrest at Shelby of Benjamin Van Dusen, a section man on a charge made by his 14 year old daughter. The affidavit was sworn out by a Mrs. Hay hurst who claims that the girl revealed to her the story of her ruin. Van Dusen had a preliminary trial before 8 justice and was bound over to the Lake County Circuit court. He formerly lived in Keener tp., this county but a few years ago moved to Tennessee and has only recently returned to Shelby from that state. He attracted considerable attention here some years ago for his share in prosecuting his own sister on charge of adultery.

Married By Judge Thompson.

Judges of Circuit Courts are authorized by law to solemnize marriage ceremonies, but plums of that kind do not come their way with troublesome frequency. Thus Judge Thompson ,though he has been a judge for several years, had his first call to pronounce a marriage ceremony last Saturday after noon Sept. 23rd. The contracting parties were Mr. Oliver P. H. Hodge, of Owen couq ty and Miss Cora E. Huber, of Wheatfield, this county. The ceremony was performed in the circuit court room. Though this was the Judge’s first marriage ceremony in this county, it was not his first work in that line, as he has also preform ed three marriages in Benton county and one in Newton county.

The Circuit Court.

Geo. Meyers, of Remington, was found guilty of selling on Sunday and fined $lO and costs He was acquitted on two indictments for selling on election day. An indictment against Johnson, of Remington, for selling liquor on election day was quashed, because it was in the nameof John Johnson when Tom Johnson was the name, of the party that was wanted. Lawyer Wood, of Lowell came down and had one of the two remaining big fire damage cases against the Monon, from Lake county, set for trial on the last day of the term. Next morning E. C. Fields, general solicitor of the Monon telegraphed that Mr. Wood did not represent the Monon, and repudiated his act in setting the day for trial. What the court will hold in the matter remains to be seen.
