Crawfordsville Weekly Journal March 21, 1891 -- The little pleasantness which occurred between Wm. H. Steel and Dr. TJ Griffith in Friendship Lodge of Good Templars several weeks ago, was partiallys ettled by Judge Chumasero this morning who fined Dr. Griffith one dollar and costs for provoke. Mr. Steele had already been fined for assault and battery before Judge Ramsey. The difficulty arose in regard to Mrs. Steele accusing the doctor of taking a pair of mittens from the hall and upon the doctor giving him the lie, he committed an assault upon him. The provoke case was bitterly fought, Hanna & Hanna appearing for the state and Whittington & Vancleave for the defense. Dr. Griffith's attorneys say that the case will be appealed to the circuit court and a suit for $1,000 instituted by Dr. Griffith against Mr. Steele for injuries sustained in the assault made by the latte rupon the former. The case is an interesting one and the GOOD TEMPLAR Lodges are greatly agitated over the unfortunate state of affairs.
