ON THE REPAIR OF THE
MARHALL COUNTY COURT
HOUSE. James Griffith of Ft.
Wayne, who is to superintend
the work OF remodeling the court
house, under the contract OF Ar
thur O'Keefe, is in the city, 10 see
the work of repair and remodel
ing begun and finished. THE
BOARD OF COMMISSION
ERS WAS SUMMONED TO
MEET IN SPECIAL SESSION
TUESDAY TO ORDER THE
SALE OF BONDS IN THE
SUM OF $4,000 WITH
WHICH TO PAY FOR THE
WORK OF REMODELING
THE COURT HOUSE AS
CONTRACTED FOR WITH
ARTHUR O'KEEFE, BY THE
BOARD OF COMMISSION
ERS.
Special Judge Moses B. Larry
came from Logansport Saturday
morning. and heard the motion
for new trial, by attorneys for
plaintiff Jacob Ness, in the court
house injunction case. The
court refused the motion for a
new trial, and an appeal was TAX
en- to the appellate court, by At
torney Lauer and Logan. Clay
w. Metsker went on the bond of
Ness for costs. The bond was in
the sum OF $500. Sixty days were
granted for the plaintiff to file bill
of exceptions.
And so the court house is to
he repaired the bluff of Editor
Metsker OF the Democrat, i'll the
following words. has been called
by Arthur O'Keefe and will be
called by the Board of Commits
sioners:
'O'Keefe is quite a buffer.
Immediately after Special
Judge Larry gave his deci-
sion, which his own explain
alton did not explain, o.
Keefe had an advertisement
in the Tribune for carpen-
ters. We took the pains to
see that carpenters applied
for work but whe,i they ap-
piled they were told that
they were not needed for the
present. Now Mr.. O'Keefe,
why don't you go ahead and
repair the court house and
put the men to work? They
are ready to work. Is it
really true that you don't
mean what YOU saw when
you proclaim that the court
house will be repaired at
once? Come now. spend
some of your money on the
court house. What do YOU
care if you do have to pay it
back after the supreme court
speaks ??
AS previously stated in the
Tribune the work OF repairing the
court house will commence at,
once, and will be pursued until
completed. Then the board of
commissioners will allow Con-
tractor O'Keefe the amount due
him for his work, and should the,
Supreme court reverse Judge
Larry which is improbable, Jacob
Ness may bring suit to force o.
Keefe to repay the money so re-
ceived, a verdict of which kind
will not be found by anv jury in
this or any other county. And
Jacob Ness will be how much bet
ter off after he has made his un-
successful fight against the
Board OF Commissioners of Mar
shall county?
In an attempt to belittle the de-
cision OF Special Judge Moses B.
Larry in the Ness-Commissioners
Injunction suit, which was
against Ness and his chief backer
c. w. Metsker, the editor OF the
Democrat came out with little
false editorial sop, on Thursday
evening OF last week, telling how
the decision of "a" Judge Larry
was knocked "sky high by the
Supreme Court, and then related
how the decision of this Judge
Larry would meet a similar fate
in the supreme court.
In an article which disproved
the statement of the Democrat,
the Tribune of Friday contained
the following:
"And this is how Judge
Lairy's decision was'knocked
sky high by the Supreme
Court, a fact which existed
mostly in the mind OF the
dense brain of one c. w.
Metsker. OF Plymouth, Ind.
Will the Democrat correct
its rank misstatement, or al
low itself to 90 down once
more. as chronic fabricat-
or? Answer please, Mr.. Nets
ker."
