Probate Judge Wilkins Refused To Remove Guardian
Probate Judge Philip L. Wilkins on Saturday refused to remove Alonzo J Blue as guardian of Ada Blackburn. The request to remove the guardian was made days earlier on grounds that he made no election. After hearing the matter Judge Wilkins declined to remove the guardian. Juvenile Officer Patrick Purcell reported complaints of boys playing marbles on the sidewalk and swearing near a church on Sunday morning. He dispersed the crowd and warned the boys not to play marbles on Sundays or risk Juvenile Court involvement. The county commissioners awarded contracts for lighting to Frank EB. Ball Electric Company including four cluster light posts on the viaduct and lighting for the courthouse and jail grounds, at a price lower than the previous contract. The Common Pleas Court convened with Judge Harry W. Jewell presiding and reported jury duty. The court dealt with cases including Hyatt vs Bailey, Koons vs the Bank, Peoples Bank of Mt. Gilead vs L C Pons foreclosure decree, and a partition suit Horn et al. v Horn et al. Attorney Lewin B. Houck represented the plaintiff in the partition action.
