In the early moments of the
fourth period, the Pirates built up a
substantial advantage, and led at

time.

The grand jury retired to the little
corncrib and waited. 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.
To the indictments all defendants
pleaded guilty and were fined, among

was surrounded by a little patch of
corn, and was connected with the
others by a blazed bridle path. 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.

Court Changes Its Mind
Twenty dollars were allowed Dan
iel Simms for acting as prosecuting
attorney but at the December term
of court it was announced that de
spite Simms having come the 40 miles
through the forest from Cincinnati,
drawing up nine indictments and
prosecuting the cases, the court had
reconsidered and that it was too much
money and therefore illegal. 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.

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.
