The special term of the circuit court adjourned on Saturday. Considerable business was transacted during the week, the most important civil case being that of the Horatio Blake estate against ex-commissioner Griffith, in which the latter was trying to escape liability from having singed the bond of the defaulting guardian of the Blake heirs. Judge Rose being counsel in the case, R. Wes McBride, Esq. acted as Judge, and the trial resulted in a verdict for the heirs. The everlasting litigation over the Wildasin estate, upon which some of the attorneys have been practicing for the past five or six years, came near being heard. The issues were made up and it was set down for final hearing on the second Tuesday of the next term. All who have any other business in the court, or are likely to have, will join in a fervent prayer that the "Wildasin case" may then receive its final quietus. At the close of the term the docket contained only about fifty cases undetermined, and one-fourth of them were simply motions that would have been decided had the attorneys been prepared to attend to them. This leaves the docket in better shape than it has been for the past ten days. (Re: Waterloo Press - 9 Feb 1882)

House Burned. The dwelling and office of Dr. Lehman, at Fairfield Enter, was consumed by fire, with nearly all of the contents, on the night of the 23d instant. The doctor was absent at Kendallville, attending the circus, with a portion of his family. His wife and small child remained at home; and when they were alarmed by the fire, there was little time left for more than saving themselves and few articles near at hand. There was insurance upon the building to the amount of $900, and $600 upon the contents, consisting of furniture, library, wearing apparel, etc. The insurance will about cover the loss upon the house, but the doctor claims that he will be a considerable loser upon the contents.

The Waterloo Press, Garrett Herald and Auburn Republican are apparently agitated over the statement, in our issue of July 1, that Mr. Provines, republican nominee for clerk, had been heard to remark that "if any democratic votes were necessary to elect him, he didn’t want the office." These papers charge us with having manufactured the "yarn" for political purpose—call it an "electioneering lie," etc. The Courier, differing from the three "stalwarts" above-named, is not in the lie manufacturing business; they have judged us by themselves, charging us with an action which, as honest democratic editors, we would scornfully refuse to perform. We have only to say that we are prepared to substantiate in full every line above quoted: we HAVE the name of "a responsible person who heard Mr. Provines make the remark."—at all events, being a red-hot republican, we presume he is a "responsible person." Probably by next week, or after we have heard a little more "kicking" about it, we may deem it a good plan to enlighten the Press, Herald and Republican to their entire satisfaction.

Malicious Cussedness.

A Dastardly Proceeding near New Era.

For pure, unadulterated devilishness, the case below recorded excels anything before heard of, in its particular line, in this county, and it is altogether likely that the whole state could not produce the record of a transaction of equal meanness. Here are the facts:

Joseph Pepple, a well-known and respected farmer living in Butler township, near New Era, recently purchased of Messrs. N. & G. Ensley one of the celebrated "Agitator" threshing machine, manufactured by G. I. Case & Co., of Racine, Wisconsin, for which the latter firm the former act as agents at this place. Last Saturday evening, after having used the machine but two days, Mr. Pepple took it to the farm of Wm. Thrush, where he left it, prepared to go to work Monday morning; but sometime during the night, actuated by a desire to stop Mr. Pepple’s work, which was doubtless interfering with their own, some scoundrels set fire to the threshing-machine and burned it completely up, demolishing also a new steam engine which was brought at the same place. Mr. Pepple’s loss will be about $400, as the company has furnished him a new machine, discounting $150, and the engine has been repaired. (Re: Auburn Courier—15 Jul 1880)

Last Saturday night Geo Weamer and Will Armstrong had a racket in Billy Rainier’s saloon—or would have had if George had stayed to see it out—in which billiard cues made music in the air for a few minutes. The trouble arose from Armstrong’s having heard that Weamer was going to publish him in some way, under which circumstances Armstrong’s attack was wholly unjustifiable. The proper time, if any, to settle such matters is after the publication has been made, and then in a more civilized manner. (Re: Auburn Courier—15 Jul 1880)
