Although Arthur McGaughey, fii-at clrrk of Putnam county, hack in 1823 and later, had to make all his court records in long hand, sometimes by candle light, Samuel Judah, the first county prosecutor had no mercy upon the clerk in preparing the grand jury indictment which is a part of the entry connected with the very first court session the county ever had. That court session, "holden" in the A they log cabin down in the far corner of Washington township. 114 years ago, had for its presiding officer Jacob Call, Esquire, “president
judge for the First judical circuit and George Kirkpatrick and Purcell chance. Esquires, associate judges.” Judah, in his indictment which was | signed by the grand jury, was much more verbose than attorneys are j these days. He named the grand jurors, “good and lawful men of the county of Putnam then and there impannelled, sworn and charged- to equire of an! present all treasons, felonies and ] other misdemeanors, whatsoever; which have been committed or done I
| within the jurisdiction of said court.” The defendant named was Charles Wright, “late of the township of Walnut, laborer, did with force and urms at the township aforesaid in the county aforesaid in and upon one James Frazier did make an assault and him the said James Frazier in a rude, angry, insolent and unlawful manner did then and there touch, strike, beat and wound and other wrongs to the said James Frazier then and there did. To the great damiige of the said James Frazier.” A continued session of the court was held later, at the home of Isaiah Wright near Manhattan, when the record says: ”... came the said Charles Wright and forthwith being demanded concerning the premises in the said indictment above specified and charged upon him how he will acquit himself thereof he saith that he is not guilty thereof for good and evil he puts himself Upon the courts and Samuel Judah Esquire who prosecuteth for the said state in this behalf doth the like.” A jury was named to hear the case "by whom the truth of the matter may l>c better known and who are not of kin to the said Charles Wright to recognize upon his oath whether the said Charles Wright be guilty of the assault and battery to the indictment aforesaid above specified or not guilty.” The verdict of the jury was: “We of the jury find Charles Wright the defendant guilty as he stands indicted and fine him one cent.” Wright wa committed to jail until the fine and costs were paid or ”replevined."

In a setting made impressive by its natural beauty amid the rolling hills of Spencer county, Indiana has created a memorial to Nancy Hanks Hincoln and the boyhood years of the Great Emancipator. Located on Boa i 162 at Lincoln City, the memorial and state part, were established in 1932, now having a combined area of 1,166 acres. Pictured above is the marker which greets the visitor as he faces the landscape approach to the wooded knoll on which the grave of Nancy Hanks Lincoln is marked by a simple stone. The inscription on tfic marker reads: "You are facing the wooded knoll on which sleeps Nancy Hanks Lincoln. mother of the President who lived in this Hoosier environment (Turing the fourteen formative years
of his life from 1816 to 1830. "Beyond to the north, is marked the site of the humble log cabin where she led him for a little while along the path to greatness.” From the grave a winding path leads to another knoll on which <« bronze replica of the foundation log.and the hearth, marks the site of the cabin to which Thomas Lincoln brought his family from Kentucky.

Flames from thr burning city of Baskul darted high into the night sky and ca*t a weird illumination over the bedlam of the flying field on the outskirts of the city In the distance there was the steady rumble of gunfire and the solitary road from the city was choked with Chinese refugees fleeing from the demoniac fury of the bandits.

It is interesting now. In part, because these two men have a number of relatives in the county now. That "rude and insolent” assault cost Robert Glidewell the great sum. one cent, and the court specified that it. like all other fines of that period, should go to the support of the county seminary. In that case, James Trotter was foreman of the jury, and Trotter himself had been before the court only a short time before, for fighting. Glidewell was sheriff then, or soon afterward. Another pair of early Putnam county men who at least that one . brought “terror to the good citizens” ! were John Lynch, "labourer,” and Joshua H. Lucas, also "labourer.” I They, "by agreement did fight in a publick place towit in a pulick street in the county and state aforesaid—to the terror of the good citizens.”. A fine of $2.50 was assesed against j Lynch, but Lucas pleaded not guilty and wa.s cleared after a hearing.
