At the last term of the District Court John
Lannen was indicted for obliterating notice
required by the law to be posted, and the
history of the case, as gathered from the
records, is as follows:
About the 1st of last February Joel Catch
ing, who lives at Bearmouth, desired to have
q public highway opened between certain
points near that place, and for that purpose
had posted notice on the railroad depot at
that point that petition would be presented
to the Board of Commissioners of the county
for the opening and laying out Of the high
way. This notice was torn down by some
one. On the 10th Of February Catching
posted another on the depot. He then run
an empty box car up along side the depot in
front of the notice and left the Car between
the notice, and the stable and residence of
John Lannen. Catching then placed two
men in the car to watch the notice. About
10 o'clock in the evening John Lannen was
seen by these two men, as they declared, 60
to the notice and obliterate it by putting
another paper over it, Lannen was tried at
the last term of the court, and at the trial he
testified that he was at home sick and in bed
all of the 10th of February, and his two sons,
Edward and Chris and his nephew, John
Stewart, and Jerry Wallace, testified that
they were at John Lannon'S barn, and from
there claimed that they saw the two men
who Catching had placed in the car 60 up to
the notice and one of them place his hauds
on it as if to obliterate it; but the prosecution
claimed that it was impossible for these men
to see the notice from the stable, as the cal
was between them and the notice, and for SO
testifying these men, viz: John, Edward
and Chris Lannen, John Stewart and Jerry
ind; 81 nt ho
the court for perjury. On the trial Of Ian
men at the last term Of court for obliteratinR
the notice, the jury disagreed, and at the
present time, on the second trial which wa
concluded Tuesday evening, the jury brought
in verdict of guilty, and fixed the punish
ment at $50. The costs in this case up to the
present time have been roughly estimated a
about 81 500, which will fall on the de
