Leason Bass, of Shelby County, Attended
Court in This City
----------
As Dr. C. A. Robinson was walking up main street Wednesday he heard a familiar voice calling "Good morning, Charlie," and turning round, he was soon grasping the hand of his old friend Leason Bass, one of the most intelligent, most influential and most prosperous farmers of Shelby county.
Mr. Bass was here on business and stated that he was surprised to see the great amount of improving that has been done since his last visit here. Mr. Bass remembers of having seen three court houses here. More than fifty years ago, his father, uncle Henry Bass, who was one of the earliest pioneer settlers along the Blue river in Shelby county, sold some hogs to a drover living in Greenfield. It was agreed that the hogs should be paid for after the drover had taken them to Cincinnati and received his money for them. Leason and Jordan Bass accompanied the hogs a part of the way, the latter going as far as Brookville. There the hogs were slaughtered and loaded on canal boats and sent to Cincinnati.
The drover, however, returned to Greenfield, but failed to pay for the hogs, so Leason Bass' father sued for the amount. The case was a very interesting one, and was fought to a finish, uncle Henry Bass winning. His attorneys were Martin M. Ray, Thos. A. Hendricks and Reuben A. Riley, and Leason Bass remembers that court was held in the old court house which was afterward replaced by the court house that was torn down when the present court house was built.
Mr. Bass owns a splendid farm in the valley of "The Bonnie Big Blue," and is a true gentleman.
