Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 103, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 September 1909 — Court Began Sessions This Morning For September Term. [ARTICLE]

Court Began Sessions This Morning For September Term.

The September term of the Jasper circuit court was begun this morning, and Prosecuting Attorney Fred Longwell, of Brook, was early on the job, giving some instruction to the grand Jury about some matters that he thought should be inquired into. Fred has a few things up his sleeve for law violators that he will bring to a head if he can get the information and there may be a scattering among some of the boot-leggers of the county. A jail sentence is the certain outcome for a conviction for illict sale of liquor and there are thought to be several violators. The court docket is quite well crowded and a number of ditch and probate cases will keep things moving this week. The petit jury will not be used until next week.
