No witnesses came. There was no business before the court- Inside the log cabin the court officers and the few spectators also waited. Court was in session with nothing to do. Fight It Out Owen Davis, who owned the log cabin, then and there solved the court’s embarrassing predicament. He saw a man there from Warren County whom he did not like much anyhow, walked over to him and accused him of “speculating in pork.” That meant stealing a neighbor’s hogs. The War ren Countian resented the insult and the two went outside and fought it out. Davis won the f:ght. Then he came back into the court, walked up to the judges and addressing Whiteman said: “Well, Ben, I whipped that damn hog thief—what’s the damage —how much to pay?” A|rd he threw his buckskin purse down on the table before the judges. Then, shaking his fist at Whiteman, he added: “Yes, Ben, and if you’d steal a hog—damn you, I’d whip you, too.” Seventeen witnesses were sworn into the corncrib to the grand jury that day and nine true bills were re turned—all for fights and assult and battery that occurred after the open ing of the day’s session.

That was all of Greene County, formed May 1, 1803, from parts of Hamilton and Ross counties and named for Gen. Nathaniel Greene, of the revo lution. The county’s first session of court was held May’ 10, 1803, in the same log cabin. Benjamin Whiteman had moved out of it and Peter Borders then lived there. Whiteman, William Maxwell and Janies Barret were the associate judges and John Paul, clerk. Its sole business was the organization of the 10-day-old county and laying it off into townships. That took one day and then court adjourned. The first court for trial of causes was held in the cabin August 2, 1803. It was Tuesday. There were the same associate judges, with Francis Dun lavy, presiding judge, and Daniel Simms, prosecuting attorney. Paul again was clerk. That grand jury, 144 years ago, comprised nearly the whole county directory—William J. Stewart, John Wilson, William Buckles, Abe Van Eaton, James Snodgrass, John Judy, Evan Morgan, Robert Marshall, Alex C. Armstrong, Joseph C. Vance, Joseph Wjlson, John Buckhannon, Martin Mendenhall, and Harry Mar tin. Stewart was foreman.

Simms did not get the money. Greene County’s new court now be gan to think about taxes. The total taxable property listed was $393.04, including houses and mills. Only one house was listed. It was valued at $1 for taxation. There was only one mill —Owen Davis’ near the court cabin. Residents of Mad River township were excused from taxation because they had contributed to erection of public buildings—they had donated towards Cincinnati’s new courthouse. The last act of court before ad journment was to issue a license to Peter Borders to keep a tavern in his house—the one where court then was in session. For this he was to pay $4 and all “legal fees.” That made the little log cabin, built by Whiteman then sold to Borders, the first tavern in Greene County as well as the first courthouse. Incidentally it provided future comfort for the judges, court officers and all concerned—right in the room where court was being held Borders I could serve hog and hominy and good Monongehela whisky seven years old, which he had in abundance and the transactions would be legal. Low Bid On Light Plant Is Fixed (Concluded from page 1) Hartman, of Shelby, who specified $20,392 for labor, and $15,160 for materials for a total of $35,502. Mosser Construction Co., Fremont, was the other bidder on a basis of $18,700 labor and $20,000 materials for a total of $38,700. To House New Boiler The plant addition will be requir ed to house a new boiler, ordered last fall, with delivery promised for early this spring. Cue complication entering into the picture of letting the contract for the building addition is the fact that additional money must be borrowed by the board of public affairs, be cause of a shortage of expansion funds. Sources close to the board said this week, however, that they were of the opinion that satisfactory arrangements can be made for ob taining the extra funds needed, which have been estimated at $75,000 by the engineer. Principal factors resulting in the need for more money include the purchase of an additional turbine, construction of the building addition, and the steadily rising cost of building materials and labor.
