The celebrated Junker case, that has been hanging fire through several terms of court, has been decided at last. Jacob Junker was married to his second wife in 1867. In 1869 he bought a piece of property and deeded it to his dead wife, Mary Junker, instead of the living one, Adaline. The family was at peace then, and there was no cause for complaint, as the second wife thought the title of the property was in her name. A few years ago Mrs. Junker discovered that she did not own the property, and war was declared. The fight has been going on in the courts ever since. Mrs. Junker was the victor and will gain possession of the property, as the jury decided that there is no law for deeding property to a dead person.

Lawrenceburg Register – 30 Nov 1882 – Page 3, Column 3

COURT REPORT.

The will of Jacob Gutapfel, late of Jackson township, was admitted to probate on Saturday. He gives one-half of his stock to his son George, and to his wife Maria Gutapfel gives all of his real estate and personal property. His wife is appointed executor.

Final reports were made in the following trusts: Guardianship of Lewis Rohlfing; guardianship of Emma Lawdon; estate of John H. Langfels.

Joseph M. Bossong, administrator of Samuel Weitzel, made report of sale of real estate.

The will of Peter Schneider was admitted to probate on Friday.

John Cairns, commissioner in exparte Christopher Brosch, et als, makes report of sale of real estate.

The grand jury, after a session of one week, returned three indictments, and through its foreman, Leonard Spicknall, made the following report: “We the grand jurors for the November term 1882, report to said court as follows: We have been in session six days, examined some forty witnesses, investigated seven different causes, found three bills, examined the jail and county asylum found nothing in either to condemn, but at the county asylum we found much in the management and control thereof by Thomas Duncan, the present worthy superintendent, to endorse and approve and recommend him as the right man in the right place. In the investigation of the alleged killing of Patrick Nead by John Carpenter we find that said Carpenter in the difficulty between himself and said Nead at Dover in said county, acted in self defense, and committed no violation of law, but in the prior trouble at the farm of James Murtaugh, we find him the said Carpenter guilty of assault and battery upon the person of Patrick Nead.”

On Wednesday, the 22d, Robert E. Slater, prosecuting attorney, presented his bond, which was examined and approved by the court, and Mr. Slater assumed the duties of his office.

Larry Collins, of Aurora, and Mitchel Sanks, of Guilford, are serving as court bailiffs with satisfaction to all concerned.

Jacob Shepperd, of this city, as grand jury bailiff, performed all duties of his office satisfactorily to the jury and the witnesses brought before that body.

Henry Bulthaupt presented his report and resignation as trustee for Caesar Creek township. The Board appointed Dr. J. M. Barkley to serve for the unexpired term of Mr. Bulthaupt. The appointment is a good one and meets with approval of the citizens of Caesar Creek.

Several days last week occupied in discussing and disposing of road petitions.

The Commissioners after a full and careful consideration of the question of the erection of a bridge over North Hogan Creek near Lytle Parks, and a personal examination of the proposed location of said bridge feel well satisfied of the necessity of the erection of a bridge at the place asked for by the citizens of that neighborhood and in their opinion that should be the first built by the county. As the term of office of the present Board expires before the contract could be completed they deem it, but justice it the incoming board should be left free to act on work that would necessarily have to be built under their supervision. The incoming board are recommended to look with favor on the project.
