SHCMAN COURT HAPPENINGS. f t lias been ten days since we left home and when we started from Cincinnati, the spow was falling fast and seemed,growing colder rapidly, we made direct connection and only waited twenty minutes, Bhe ride from Cincinnati through Ky,, was a very rough one, going through six tunnels before reaching Louisville, the country was' thq wildest imaginable and how anyone could make an existence In this part of Ky,, is more than I can make but. Around 1, 0 »'Seville is beautiful, ^and every evidence of wealth, prosperity, and happlucssf Indeed I think living there would bo very pleasant. From this point on to Nashville, Team, the ride wan smoother' and the country move inviting and every station crowds of passengers got oft and oif,’ Ifcremhid,- bd us of our excusibn trains.

The case will hoav come up on .Its merits. - ' " The court decided that there was no fraud in the deed of property to Johivjenks by Harvey Sessler and decided in favor of Jenks, .the case being brought by Sessler to set aside the deed. ‘ . , - The case of Houston Brothers against D. 8. Collins and others has been dismissed Avithoufcxecord. In the case of Catherine Mason against the Anchor Fire Insurance- Company and that of John Williams agfiinst the same company for the collection of tho amounts of their Insurance polices, motions to strike ■out certain parts of thepetitions are sustained and leav'e giA'cn to file amended answers. The motions to make the petitions more definite find certain Avere overruled. The court sustained the demurrer in the .case of Patrolman Thompson, of the Springfield police force,-Who ought, to get the $100 roAvardoffered by the Greono county commissioners for the arrest and convlctioh of the thief who stole the horse fromplrvin Kyle. The courts have held that the paying of rewards to police officers IS contrary to public policy. More­ over,, it appears that theXonia police are the ones AVlio would he entitled to the rOAvard in this case, if it goes to any police officers, inasmuch as “ Hog” Davis, who stole the Kyle horse, Avas not arrested on that charge in Springfield, but confessed to that oifenso to the Xenia police later. City Solicitor Miller will make an effort to have the reword paid to the Board of Public Safety here.—Press Kepubllc.
