Quite number OF other gentlemen,
rumor hath it, would like to have taken a
brieftou about this time, but circumstances
over which they had no control prevented.
These circumstances generally took the
! shape of an invitation from the Prosecuting
/ ATTORNEY to call at the court
house tomorrow and answer a
number of questions to be addressed to them
by the grand Jury above referred to- A Reels
! TER reporter met rather innocent-looking
youth last night, who conGdentially men
toned the fact that he had q request to ap

Lave many Of The boys paper like

Well yes. Fact is, most all OF our

probably have to call around and see what
wanted. For the life Of
ne, though, | don't know what
they want TO know from me. They have
caught on to rich mine, though, as have
been told, and if they work it properly the
re suits will be immense. The parties | refer
to are OF the colored persuasion, and have
been employed about two or three suites OF
rooms where the tiger is said to have his
lair. There was some talk OF these untortu'
oates refusing to respond to the call of the
powers that be, but after they
came to size the thing up, and
remembered the fact of a brother man OF
color a year or so ago, who stayed away and
got socked to the tune of $50, they con-
cluded to 90, hope, however, the gentle
men of the Jury will have some respect for
these meu-and the rest Of us-and let us
down light. Not that care for myself, for
you know | never gamble, but there are
friends OF mine-you know how it is-would
20 awful rough with the boys and their
folks, you know, and really-but then we
must hope for the best, and with an air Of
resignation, our friend sauntered of.
DO you think the Jury will hold very
protracted meeting" was asked Of another
gentleman.
Lord! hope not, was the answer. st
would be a little tough on some OF the boys

the good old time methods Of doing things
are satisfactory enough for me, and | am
opposed to the Grand Jury breaking the

How about the games? Are any OF
them running"
You can Just wager your hoot-coverings
they amt. Not only that, but the stuff been
carted of, the Lord only knows where.
was taking little look around yesterday,
and most of the apparatus had gone then.
No, ! don't think it's out Of town. The
proprietors have Just put it out Of the way
temporarily. You know business will look
up bit after while and it won't do tc
have the kit too far away.
~ good deal of this racket il

ma1 last ght; "at least, so | hear
they tell me he has been whooping

fuelo Of indictments brought in before tbs
Jury aiiourns. However, | doa't protes:

The reporter heard good deal more
ak of the same sort Yesterday and last
night, but nothing new or novel was con
rained in the statements of any of thos'
spoken 10. The Court will assemble at
o'clock tomorrow morning and the jury
will at once proceed to business.
