CARD FROM THE GRAND JURY-ARRESIED
FOR EMBEzZLEMENT-SMALL-
Ell Paso, June 1.-THE members of the
grand jury, in this city, have published the
following card, in reply to an Austin dispatch
to the Galveston News of the grid, with refer
ence to fraudulent sale of the school lands to
J. P. Hague:
The statement by J. P. Hague in reference
to members of the grand jury bidding for the
school lands of the county, is positively false.
No member of the grand jury ever bid upon
those lands, and no other bid was made at the
| time because no notice whatever was given
that the lands were for sale. Some time pre-
vious parties did bid seventy cents and one
dollar an acre, which was refused. Salt has
been instituted and notice given to those wish
ing to purchase, that the same is fraudulent,
and must be set aside.
Signed-G. w. Boring, foreman Of the
grand jury; James Mari, c. M. Morehead,
| Joseph Sweeney, c. Schulz and others Of the
grand jury.
DIR. T. Rent, German druggist, from Col

THE DOUBTFUL ELECTION.
Portland, June 7.-There seems to be no
doubt in regard to the election of George to
congress by ma iority of not less than two
hundred. The republicans claim the state by
maj orities ranging from 100 to 1880, and the
democrats concede it to the republicans by a
small majority. The lines to Eastern Oregon
have been down for two days and no precinct
east of the Cascade Mountains has been heard
from. The Legislature is doubtful. Eastern
Oregon has had large immigration in the
two years, and it is believed to be mostly re-
publican. The legislature will be close either
| way, and its composition cannot be known for
two or three days.
