The Oskaloosa Independent, Jefferson County, Saturday, May 16, 1874 May 16, 1874
Court Items.--The Riddle case has been put off until next Tuesday.--Ben Johns,
Baldwin and Wicks were brought down from Topeka, Monday, by deputy sheriff
Wiley.--Lawrence, Topeka, and Leavenworth have a full force of legal
representatives here.--The case of Mitchell vs Saunders, jury trial, is
occupying attention today(Wednesday). The trial of Wicks and Baldwin, for
stealing hides, ropes, &c, and of Ben Johns, for running off a stolen horse,
comes off this Friday; we believe, however, that the last named culprit has
plead guily.--We hear that Wicks, the half-breed Indian now under arrest, has a
well-worn scrap in his pocket, clipped from the Independence, which he
frequently reads, and then indulges in "cuss words" at our expense, because we
said the Baldwin-Wicks outfit was a bad lot,&c. As besides the three in limbo
here, two Baldwin brothers are under arrest at Topeka for stealing mules, we
guess we were about right.
