attention Of the Grand Jury of'he United States

| have also given in our columns the circum-
stances Of tic cscapade so much regretted By
the especial guardians Of the American Eagle in
this section.
To United States Deputy Marshal, Stephen
T. Hosmer, was allotted the working up Of the
affair, the indictment having been duly found.
Hosmer went about it Us if be knew and felt it to
be very dirty job, from which he would will
ing1y get clear, but not at the sacrifice Of his
post. Friday night found him Mt Ottawa, urmed

the fact nor the firearms were displayed at 0t-
tawa, their influence must net be understood to

! Mr. Hosmcr's salient point in exercising his
| duty seems 10 hare been mania for creating
deputies. uc began On leaving Chicago to dept

zeal, LIE would ut the time Of making the arrest
hare hcaded regiment Of seyerul hundred
men. In fact, and we admire his genius, Hos
mcr reasoned thus: Here be divers men to be
made prisoners; as for the rest will make
them all n,ine-I deputizc them, and be did, as
far and Us fast US lie could. Other than that
Hosmer carried himself in his dirty work very
creditably, and not over Extensively, consider
ing its nature.
The parties arrested aud by him brought to
