Grand jury to-day presented their report, after a
brief session of three and half DAYS They find
indictments against Z. r. Roberts, John and
Chas. Slaughter, T. M. Stanibrook and +. L. Con-
way, for the murder Of each of the four Cinnamon

boys, Roberts and Conway. For attempt to com
NIT arson against Robert, John and Chas Slaugh-
ter and Hilderbaum. Those charged with arson
viii probably be arraigned on Saturday and their
trials will commence the 10Th inst.
The report of the Grand Jury closes as follows
1--WE find that there has been in existence in our
midst an organized band of incendiaries and as
sassns, whose crimes may be compared to those
OF the worst criminals ever brought to justice and
we believe that some of them are still at large,
We urge upon those whose duty it is, to pursue
with relentless vgor every clue to their identity
and punishment"
A great deal Of dissatisfaction is expressed al
what is considered the has,y and superficial man
ner in which the jury has conducted its inquiry
very little effort having been made to secure al
indictment of a number of the prisoners including
several of the members of the council of nine who
have been set at liberty and returned to Chico.

mate the speed of the train as it passed the de.
pot, at eighteen to twenty-five miles an hour. The
! ptf is an elderly man, now about seventy years Of
age. He was dangerously hurt, and is unable tG
be pres ent at the trial, although he has been ou
