Given up for dead for the past twenty years, John Amos, who disappeared from his home in Montgomery county shortly after leaving Shelby county, turned up in Indianapolis last week well and hearty. John Amos was a brother of the late William Amos, who was at one time county commissioner. He left this county about twenty years ago to take up his residence in Montgomery county. Shortly afterward he disappeared from his home there and was after a few years given up as dead. His property there was sold for taxes and the relatives here mourned for him as one passed into the great beyond.Tuesday, February 12, 1907

Last week, Charles Amos, a son of the late William Amos, who is now located in Indianapolis, where he has a position as a traveling salesman, met a man in the capital city whose name was John Amos and after a short conversation found in him the long lost uncle. To his nephew the wanderer told many tales of adventure in every part of the United States, but gave no explanation of his hasty disappearance almost a quarter of a century ago, except the statement that he wanted to see some of the world. Relatives were told of the finding of the man who is now well advanced in years and the announcement was received with rejoicing. Arrangements are being made to give him a royal welcome when he comes for a visit in a few days. James Amos, of Moral township, is a brother; Mrs. Nancy Weber, of Moral township, a sister, and Mrs. Jane Holmes, of this city, also a sister.

Esquire Amos, of Moral township, one of the
would-be Butternut commanders-in-chief of the army and navy of the State of Indiana, not being advised, we presume
of the fact that the bill conferring that honor on him was not passed, has extended his practice as Justice of
the Peace in accordance with the provisions of the act drawn up by Hannah, Brown and Packard, giving Justices
jurisdiction co-extensive with the State of Indiana, and to the "centre of the lakes and rivers on our borders.
The aforesaid justice having heard that Dr. Ely, of Hancock county, had committed some misdemeanor, issued a warrant and sent his constable to Hancock to arrest said Ely. The Dr. offered no resistance, but appeared
before the commander-in-chief of Moral township according to the requirements of thw writ. The case was heard, the Dr. was adjudged guilty as charged, and the fine and costs assessed; whereupon the Dr. shelled out. The
transaction has given the Dr. a new theme for reflection, to-wit: the powers and jurisdiction of a Justice of the Peace. We presume too, that Esquire Amos feels very comfortable in his blissful state of ignorance
in regard to his extended jurisdiction.July 2, 1863
