She Must Report Next Term-Boys
Must Attend School.
Rose Dawson, the 17-year-old girl
who was recently indicted by the grand
Jury on charge of larceny from
building in the day time, appeared Ill
court late Tuesday afternoon and en-
tered a plea to Judge Caswell of guilty.
The girls father is anxious that he may
have last chance in attempting to re-
form the girl, and the young woman,
herself, has evidently seen the error OF
her way, and wishes an opportunity TO
do better, without having to Suf1er the
humiliation of going to states prison.
Judge Casweil is more than anxious
to do anything to assist the young VINO
have fallen, and believes that when
possible every opportunity to reform
should be extended. While he can be
severe enough when the occasion de-
mands, he can also be the opposite. and
extend leniency.
The girl was given long talk by the
judge, who Impressed upon her the fact
that she must lead a life beyond re-
preach, must attend school, and must
keep away from bad company. He feels
that there is still good in the girl, and
If her better qualities can be made to
predominant there is nothing he will
not do to assist her and her parents.
Judge Caswell accepted bond of
$500, signed by the prisoner herself, her
father, and brother. Judgment was
then suspended and the case continued,
the proviso being that Miss Dawson re-
port to Judge Burnham at the next
term of court. which begins March 80.
Boys Must Attend School.
Will Grandon. George Twombley and
Ray Olmstead, the three Albion boys
who were paroled by Judge Durham
at the last term of court, after they had
been indicted on charge of burglary,
have made their report to Judge Cas-
well, in accordance with the terms Of
their parole. Each reported that he had
not been attending school and Judge
Caswell Impressed upon them the fact
that this they must do. He did not ac-
cept their report, and set it for later
in the term. when he will expect to
hear that they are enrolled as pupils at
during the remainder of the school
year.
George Swedeburg and Joseph Kurtz.
the youthful burglars who confessed to
entering the Arson school. made very
creditable showing in their report,
which has also been made to Judge
Caswell. They reported that they had
been in daily attendance and had strict
~ conformed to the terms of their par
oles. They We're instructed to again
report at the next term.
Criminal Docket Light.
The criminal docket for the present
term is very light. The Livingston case
for assault with intent to commit MUIR
der has already been continued on the
defendants application. The case of
Owen Ball, for burglary of the Bee Hive
store, will probably be tried, also those
of Taylor Thorpe. for assault with in
tent to commit murder and John Desh-
err, for cheating by false pretenses. The
Makepeace case, for receiving stolen
property, which has already been tried
twice. resulting in a hung jury, will
probably be dismissed.
Cases Decided.
Judge Caswell Tuesday gave his de-
cision in the case of Ben III. Wilkie,
that Mrs. Mary WiiKie did not have
the proper or sufffcien. mental capacity
to enter into an agreement in the trans
fer OF land in Timber Creek township to
Herman Sassen. The court ordered the
contract set aside.
Miss Anna Roubinek appeared in
court with request that the admins
traitor of the L. H. Hibben estate. c. j.
Hoyt. turn over to her certain valua
bles in the way of iewelry. valued at
about $500. which she claimed were her
personal property, and were the gifts
of Mr.. Hibben. made long before his
will. The court ordered the property
turned over to Miss Roubinek.
The case of Frank Williams, against
whom an information charging him
with dipsomania was filed by his
mother, Mrs. Louisa j. Williams, was
brought before Judge Caswell fuses
day. The judge granted Williams
a suspension of sentence on the prom
Use that he would make an effort to abb
stain from strong drink.
Cases Dismissed.
Several cases that promised to create
interest have been dis
missed. That of Mach Kendall, as next
friend of his minor brother, Clay Ken
dali, in which George d. Brown and
wife were defendants. and $1,000 dam
ages were asked for dog bite, has
been dismissed at the plaintiffs costs.
There have also been dismissed tbs
damage case of Christopher Ritter VS..
the Postal Telegraph and Gable Com
pany. in which Judgment for injuries
resulting from fall because of ma
terial left in an alley, was asked; and
that of l.. Il. Rickart VS.. r. I'll. Hedder-
man, another action for damages for
personal injuries, the plaintiff alleging
that he was injured while in the de-
fendant's employ at Waterloo.
Jury Cases Reached.
The jury cases We're reached this
afternoon at o'clock. when the case OF
C. M. Vohs VS.. the A. E. Shorthill Com
pany was reached.
