1 It
A busy year closed yesterday for petition's plea in 22 cases whereas,
the officials of the county courUbut thirteen of the 21 casts last year
with records up to date indicating
that in most of the departments left
in the care of that office the results
tally at a higher figure than those
handed down in 1920, County Judge
Geoge Allen reported Saturday.
The bureau f marriage licenses
discloses a discouraging summary in
that the total of couples who took
the matrimonial hurdles this year
were exactly seven less in number
than last year. Judge Allen philoso-
phically pred'ets that there are bet-
ter times ahead for those so inclined
and states that he believes the tiew
year will see the number more than
over balanced. There were 237 li-
censes issued through his office with-
in the twelve months just past.
The files of civil cases recorded
in Judge Allen's office portray an
interesting and varied series of de-, , , .
cisions on all manner of conipliCat-'Pa;r,,es throueh_ th_*
ed entanglements. There were not
a great number of these, only 40 as
compared to 21 of last year, which
indicates, according to Judge Allen
that the average man is becoming bet-
ter acquainted with his law. Judg-
ments were rendered sustaining the
were dicided in favor of the plaintiff.
Juvinal offenders were few this
year, Judge Allen reports. Norman
lias at -no time fostered the element
crime, he stated and declared that the
majority of these cases were from
among its youngsters that leads to
other parts of the county. While
twenty last year were arraigned be-
fore him, but eleven cases appeared
on the docket in 1921 for which he
had to prescribe.
While other sections filed their
papers with streaming headlines con-
cerning the wave of crime that was
sweeping the conutry Cleveland
ounty was not left behind, either in
the brand of crime and in the num-
ber of cases, Allen announced.
Cases filed show that there has
been more charges brought against
ourt
this year than at any .previous
t.velve months of this decade. He
utlier added that were it not for tl.c
rcquent violations of tin. prohibi-
ion amendment the criminal cases
n his court would be much more in-
frequent.
| There were 124 crimial cases
brought before the county court in
! 1921 and of these, 42 were search
warrents. l itty-six resulted in con-
I cases and nine search warrents.
Twenty of the cases resulted i.i con-
viction. Last year there were 77
viction. There is, in all probability.
Judge Allen said , no town of the
size of Norman and no county in
the state with the population of
Cleveland in which the cases of
burglary, hold-ups, murder, and kin-
dred crimes are so few as appear in
the files of the county couurt's ac-
tion here.
Probate action this year shows an
increase over the annals of 1920.
Fifty-one estates filed for investiga-
tion and settlement the reports show
for the past year. Forty-two com-
prised the total number of probate
cases filed for advisement last year,
it was announced.
Guard ionship papers filed num-
bered twenty-nine, records show as
compared with seventeen in nine-
teen-twenty.
Judge Allen says that he wishes
the county of Cleveland a prosper-
ous and hooch-less New Year.
