There has been considerable activi-
ty in the courts of the county and
among the officials at the court house
curing the Fair week. Activities be-
gun on Sunday last when Deputy
Sheriff Boone slipped up to Toledo
and took Myer Greenberg from the
Boody House and transferred him to
the Sheriffs County Hotel. Green
berg was indicted by the grand jury
at the March term of court this year,
for non support of his two minor chill
dren who live with their mother in
Archbold, but since last March he
has been moving about quite a bit,
having spent some time in each of
the following states, w. Virginia,
New York and Florida. BY some
means Fulton county officials learn
ed that he would be in Toledo last
Sunday and lost no time in meeting
him there. About a year ago Mrs.
Greenberg, formerly Miss Ada Levy
secured divorce from Mr.. Green
berg and the court odered him to pay
a certain amount per week for the
support Of his two children who were
placed in the custody Of their mother
by the court. Mr.. Greenberg failed
10 obey this order of the court and
hence the Indictment. At the hear
ing Monday before Judge Wolf,
Greenberg was placed under $500
bond and failing to secure the bond
was remnnded to the custody of the
sheriff.
On Tuesday Judge Wolf refused to
grant Henry Riticher a divorce from
his wife Tillie Riticher and orde.'ed
that he pay her alimony In the sum Of
$500. The court decided to retain the
custody of the children, who have
been placed in st. Anthony's Or
phanage in Toledo and ordered that
Mr.. Riticher furnish his children with
necessary care and support.
On Wednesday morning the court
granted a divorce to Mrs. Nellie
Shaffer from her husband John
Shaffer on the ground of habitual
drunkenness. Mrs. Shaffer was given
the custody of their child and the de-
fendant was ordered to pay $500 per
! week Tor support of child and the
sum OF $500 alimony to his former
WIZ OOhth W DC Udiu ny
and recovered from defendant.
In the Probate Court Judge Barber
had before him the case of Mrs.
Carrie Peck Of Lyons who has been
suffering from mental trouble for
some time past; under the direction
of DR.. SaIsberry of Lyons. Mrs.
Peck has been for some time in
st. Vincent's hospital in Toledo for
treatment but the authorities In that
institution having refused to permit
her to remain there longer, on We'd
nesday she was brought to Wauseon,
before Judge Barber who committed
her to the State hospital at Toledo,
where she was taken Wednesday af-
ternoon by Sheriff McQuillin.
Wednesday morning Messers Sny-
der and Batdorf were appointed de-
putty sheriffs for the purpose of pa
trolling the highway between Wau-
seon and the Fair grounds during this
week to apprehend violators of the
state laws in regard to speeding and
etc. That the deputies mean busi-
ness was demonstrated within two
hours from the time they received
their appointments by the arrest of
a man for exceeding the speed limit
the party was brought before Justice
L. H. Deyo, who fined him in accord
ance with the law, the fine and costs
were paid by the party and he was
released.
Clerk of Courts Johnson has issued
IN to date fifty-two hunters licenses
when It is remembered that township
clerks are also authorized to issue
these licenses il appears that the de-
vottees Of the gun and the field are
not by any means extinct.
