Here are items from  the Newton Press (from the good ol' pre-copyright days!).  These are just tidbits - if you've ever read the Press from the old days, you know they reported on everyone's comings and goings.  It was hard to "court" anyone without the whole town reading about it in the paper the next week! But they've done a great job throughout the years of keeping everyone up-to-date on the happenings in Jasper County. It's also an excellent source of genealogical information.

WAS A JASPER COUNTY CITIZEN - A pistol shot fired in Holmes' saloon on Broadway, Mattoon, near the Illinois Central crossing, Thursday night about 8 o'clock caused some excitement. The shooting was done by a W. C. Hammer, a young man from Rose Hill, who was somewhat under the influnce of liquor. During the afternoon, Hammer had left an overcoat at the saloon and when he called for the coat last night the bar tender on duty did not know anything about it. Robert Holmes, the proprietor, stepped up and endeavored to impress upon the young man that he would have to wait until the other bar tender could be located.
Hammer became indignant and angry, and pulling a 32-caliber pistol fired one shot at Mr. Holmes. The shot went wild and just as the pistol was leveled for the second shot, Chief of Police Lyons and assistant Chief Graham stepped in and took the young man in charge. Hammer was incarcerated in the calaboose, and today had a hearing. He will have to pay a fine for shooting and stand trial for shooting with the intent to kill. Charleston Courier.
