Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 106, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 September 1899 — The Circuit Court. [ARTICLE]

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.
