Grant Antrim Fined for Trespass.

Squire Burnham rendered his decision in the state case against Grant Antrim, for trespass, Monday afternoon. The young man cut hay on a 40 acres in Wheatfield tp., which his step-father, John Hill, had been using for quite a number of years, but which its owner, James Osborn, had deeded to Wm. Dittman. The Squire found Antrim guilty and assessed the lowest fine the law allows, namely $5. The costs of the case were very heavy, over S7O, making in all $76. Antrim refuses to pay it, and was sent to jail.
