Just Right.

In the Circuit court yesterday after
noon, W. FL. Gest, Esq, counsel for John
Koch, the gunsmith. indicted for receiv-
ing stolen property, made motion before
Judge Smith that the indictment found by
the grand curry and prepare by the
States attorney be quashed. and this
moving the court sustained the motion
The indictment should never have been
found against Mr. Koch: there was no
ground nor reason for it. Mr. Kochs
reputation and character during all his
years of residence here, should have had
some weight with the grand Jury, if the
states attorney was incompetent to
understand the absence of proof of the
guilt of the accused from legal point of
view.
This case fully demonstrates the ab,
surdity of the present grand jury system,
where an innocent man may be defense
less. until he is reputed to be criminal
through the proceedings of that body.
There were few, however, who believed
Mr.. Koch to be guilty-none who knew
him, did--but his vindication now is no
less joy to him, and his friends.

Royce. of the c.. r. l. & P, has returned
to his home in Davenport, from Chicago,

and leave for Council Bluffs at $40
O'Clock, while the southwestern No. 1
will leave for Kansas City at Z. This is
twenty minutes earlier than now. No.
will arrive from the east at 5:25 a. IN. +,
and leave for Omaha at 5:40-thirty
minutes later than now. No. 9, the At
lantic accommodation. leaves at 9:45 a.
m.-fifteen minutes later than now. No.
II arrives from the east at Z
p. M, and leaves fol ST. Paul at 100
an hour an % minutes later than now.
The time of the east bound trains is as
follows: No. 2 will arrive at Davenport
from the Bluffs at 7:15 m, and No IL
