Switzerland County Commissioners – Sep 1891

Switzerland County, Indiana, Commissioners’ proceedings appeared in:
Vevay Reveille – 17 Sep 1891 – Page 4, Column 1

COUNTY BUSINESS.

The following is a synopsis of business transacted by the County Commissioners at their September term.

In the matter of claim of Mrs. Jennettee Scott Ryan, for $300, on account of change of highway leading from Jacksonville to a branch on Indian Creek—claim not allowed. R. B. Littlefield and Robert Bovard appointed viewers, with reference to amount of damage, to report at December term.

William Tait, County Treasurer, presented orders redeemed by him for the quarter ending Sept. 7th, amounting to $6,127.00. Found correct. He also presented school warrants redeemed by him during last quarter, as follows: Common school, $7.594.07; Congressional school warrants, $220. Found correct.

Daniel Trafelet, Benj. T. Heady and G. W. McKay were previously appointed to view a proposed change of highway from Mennett’s Branch to near Enoch Adams’, in Craig township. Sept. 9 the above viewers reported and recommended the change proposed. The Board ordered the road opened, 30 feet wide; so much of the old road as is effected by the change to be vacated.

The petition of Harvey W. Scranton and others, for bridge over Moredock’s Branch, was continued to next term.

[See newspaper for taxes levied.]

Switzerland and Ohio County Fair – 1891

The Switzerland and Ohio County [Indiana] Fair report appeared in:
Vevay Reveille – 3 Sep 1891 – Page 4, Column 2

NOTES OF THE FAIR.

There were 176 entries of horses at the Fair, several registered horses, thoroughbred horses, and as fine specimens of horseflesh as can be found within fifty miles of this place; some of them came farther.

There were five races, two on Wednesday, known as the three-minute trot and pace. In the trot the time was 2:43; Black Wilkes, owned by David Johnson, 1st money; Charles Banning, owned by Wm. Furnish, 2d money. In the pace, Jerry, owned by Frank Buffington, 1st money; Joe Longfellow, owned by Chas. Sheets, 2d money; time 2:59.

In the trot on Thursday, Bennett, entered by J. A. Works, 1st money; Lillie H., owned by L. E. Stuart, 2d money; time, 2:43. The track was heavy and soft from rain just fallen, else the time might have been much better, perhaps 2:30.

The running race was at the same time and track heavy. One horse, Fred Fisher, owned by B. & J. Blue, fell in this race. Toolem, owned by J. Cunningham, won 1st money; Matonia Bird, owned by Geo. Cook, 2d money; time 58 seconds, one half mile dash.

On Friday, Singer, owned by L. E. Stuart, of Clark county, Ind., 1st money (time said to be 2:29); 2d money, Jerry B., owned by W. M. Shuman.

The exhibit of cattle was not so large as might have been. There were 26 entries, only one herd of short horns, owned by Wm. Bunger & Sons.

Of hogs, there were 26 entries of both large and small breeds. Some fine specimens of porkers.

Of sheep, there were 21 entries, Wm. Cunningham & Sons showing the finest flock.

Of poultry, the display was good. C. L. Lee and Thos. Lazenby were the largest exhibitors. There were 50 coops.

There was $1250 paid on the livestock above enumerated.

In the vegetable and grain departments, the show was not large, only 75 entries. The presumption is that it was thought that the country being so full of superior articles in these classes, competition would be so strong that it would not pay to compete, and the early season of the Fair no doubt cut short this exhibit.

The show in flowers and fine arts was good.

The exhibit in farm implements and machinery was not up to the standard.

In the ladies’ departments, the show in fine needlework, etc., the entries were 265, and in the pastry department, including all delicacies, the entries were 200.

The total entries of the Fair were 1050, against 1200 last year.

The attendance of the people was good Thursday, estimated at 4000.

Friday eve, think there were 7000 people on the grounds, and, as far as we could judge, a very orderly and well behaved assemblage.

Nothing very startling occurred that came to our knowledge. One horse, running, flew the track, somersaulted over the fence with his rider; both got a hard fall, but were able to get up and try it again. The rider’s name was Frank Cook; not seriously hurt.

On man had his elbow dislocated by the kick of a colt when showing in the ring.

The society, financially, we understand, comes out all right—paying all premiums and expenses in full and also an indebtedness of $300, and will have a few hundred to begin business with another year.

The Secretary tells us that when all accounts have been settled and books audited an exact statement of receipts and expenditures for the year will be published.

The Board took no action on the report of the Committee.

Daniel Trafelet, Thomas Heady and George McKay were appointed viewers in regard to the petition of E. S. Adams, and others, for change and relocation of road running from Mennett’s Landing, on Ohio river, to Spring Branch Church, Craig Township—the viewers to report at regular term.

Switzerland County Circuit Court – Jun 1891

Switzerland County, Indiana, Circuit Court reports appeared in:

Vevay Reveille – 18 Jun 1891 – Page 4, Column 3

Circuit Court
Convened Monday morning, Judge Bainbridge presiding.

Capt. A. D. VanOsdol, of Madison and Capt. John B. Cole, of Rising Sun, Attorneys, were here looking after their business Monday.

Up to yesterday evening the time was spent in calling the Docket and making up issues.

The Petit Jury was impanelled this morning.

Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Pleasants says there are but three criminal cases for trial at this term—Lou Neal, charged with prostitution; originated before Mayor Manning, taken before Squire DuPlan on change of venue, and appealed from him to Circuit Court; Gilmer Kirth, charged with giving away liquor to minors, two cases—originated before Mayor Manning, sent to Squire Kincaid on change of venue, and appealed to Circuit Court.

The above cases will probably come before Court today.

There will be no Grand Jury this term.

As the weather is hot and farmers are very busy, nobody is sorry the docket is light.
