The Grand Jury Investigating the
Cronin Murder Case Closes
lis Session.
All the Men Suspected of Completely
in the Crime Held for Court
Save Alexander Sullivan.
The states Attorney says Another Grand
Jury Will Hear Evidence in Regard
to the Case.

CHICAGO, June 2q.-The grand jury has
returned indictments against Martin Burke,
John +. Beggs, Patrick Cooney, Daniel
CoughIin, Patrick O'Sullivan, Frank Wood
ruff and Frank Kunze, for completely in
the murder of DIR. Cronin. None OF the
prisoners or suspects were represented In
court when the grand jury reported to
Judge Shepard. Few persons at all were
present besides officials except number Of
newspaper men, After the last
fomalities Of the long inquisition were
ended, States Attorney Longenecker
told a number of reporters he had not yet
dropped the case in its relation to Alex
ander Sullivan He claimed that the
grand Jury had been unable at the expira-
ton of It's term to hear all the evidence
that could be presented against Mr.. Sulli-
van. The inquiry as 70 Sullivan would be
continued by the next grand jury. Whether
il would be another special panel or q reg
ular body could not at present be stated
II was conceded by Mr.. Longenecker, in
private conversation, that up to the mo
ment that the term of the grand jury ex-
pired the authorities had not secured sufh-
cient evidence upon which Sullivan could
be convicted. An indictment of him, there
fore, so the states attorney reasoned,
would undoubtedly result in an immediate
trial and scquittsl, barring forever any
other proceedings, a result which. from
LUngenecker's standpoint, was not 10 De
desired. Another reason for the attorneys
course is sad TO be hope on his part that
before the trial of the men indicted is enc
ed, some of them may be induced, through
hope of saving their own necks, to give
evidence directly discriminating Sullivan
Kunze, the Cronin suspect, whose name
became talked about for the first time to-
day. is a picture frame maker who spent a
good deal of time around the Chicago
avenue police station, To which Detective
Coughlln was attached kunzei is suspected
TO have driven Coughlin 10 the Carlson cot
tage the fatal night of May 4. States
Attorney LOngenecker talks very positively
about having evidence enough to surely
hang Coughlin and KuDZe. 1t Ia intimated
the state has In reserve two witnesses who
will swear TO seeing Coughlin and kunze
near the cottage on that night. and gave
equally direct testimony against Cooney
and Burke. One OF the witnesses Is SAID 10
be- a member of Camp 20. The evidence
against Beggs is understood to consist
chiefly of a suspicious passage in his CORE
spondence with his superior officer in the
Clan na-Gael, Edward Spellman, OF Peoria

Heavy Receipts and Sales at Good Prices
Buyers on the Ground.
GREAT FALLS, June 29.-[Specisl to the
Independent l-Sbearing has been general
during the past ten days. and as the result
wool is pouring in here In large quantities
from all directions. Some clips have come
from beyond Judith Gap, while the large
ranges of the Chestnut valley and the Te-
ton have sent many hundred thousand
pounds. Prices are considerably higher
than last year and the wool growers are
free sellers at the advance.
The largest transaction of the week
was the purchase of Charles L. Gibson's
10000 pounds clip by Paris Gibson. The
wool was of choice quality and brought the
highest market price.
Comprising is 10 favor this sesspn. The
large saving in freight impels shippers to
make use of the compress, which reduces
three bales to the bulk Of one. The attend
ance of eastern buyers is large, and the
competition is brisk. Mr.. Eldridge, who is
widely known In the Montana trade, arrived
recently. So did Mr.. Macknechie, who
represents st. Louis house. He comes
fresh from the Texan ranges in request of
the golden fleece.
Mr.. Campbell, Of Vermont, whose firm
established the famous Delaine breed, fifty
years ago, intends to stock a sheep breed
ing ranch at Sand Coulee with 1000
thoroughbred sheep next year.

Five Towns Taken In With an Aggregate
Population of 100000.
CHICAGO, June 29.-The question OF the
annexation TO Chicago of the closely sd-
joining suburbs of Hyde Park, Lake, Lake
View, Cicero and Jefferson was voted on
to-day. The campaign, which has been
conducted for several weeks past, was a
spirited one, and both sides have been max
ing tremendous struggle. The snti-an-
nexationists were generally headed by tha
present office-holders in the suburban gov
ernments, who made fight against com
ing in the city. While the off ,ial vote
from all points has not yet been announced,
there is no room for doubt from the figures
received but that the suburbs named
have been carried by the annexation
lists. The various towns bring into
Chicago an additional population of
nearly 200, 900 bringing the total up to
probably 100000. Tie territory annexed
will give Chicago q total area lapproxi-
mately estimated) of about ia square
miles, making il the largest city in area in
the United States. All towns annexed are
built mp thickly, radiating from the old
city limits. A person unacquainted with
the boundary lines would be- unable TO dis
tinguish where the suburbs beEan, the
dividing line being the centers of the
boundary streets in populous districts.

A Fleet of Floating Palaces to be Put on
Lake Superior.
GREAT FALLS, June 2q-[Srecial to the
Independent lit has become known here
that President James J. Hill intends TO
place fleet of passenger steamboats, on
Lake Superior. These boats. which are to
be real floating palaces, are to ply between
West Superior, Duluth and lower lake
ports, such as Cleveland and Buffalo. These
steamboats,, which will be specially de-
signed for the passenger traffic, will con-
meet with trains from Helena and Great
Falls, providing q continuous water and
rail route from the heart of the continent
to the east.
II will not rest" said Mr.. Hill recently,
''uDtil 1 have succeeded In drawing of
from the Chicago lines and Chicago rail-
ways all the traffic, both freight and pas
senger, that rightfully belongs 70 the upper
lakes and landing at Duluth. have not
begun as early as | might in forcing the
issue, but now that IL is started there will
be no backing down in rates or other con-
cessions made 10 the lines, either rail or
steamship, that center at Chicago. The
Manitoba has no interest down there. We
could only get the business of the Chicago
and ST. Paul lines by competition with
half dozen. There we compete with one
line for the west or two for St Paul"
"Why should Chicago enter into my cal
culations in any way ?" continued Mr..
Hill. 'The entry of three or more of such
passenger ships as the Northern Steam
ship company Will build, into the Duluth
trade, making the round trip in nine days,
elegantly appointed and perfectly
equipped, will mark a revolution in the
passenger travel between Duluth and
the lower lake ports. Passenger ships
have in the past ten or fifteen years fallen
behind the freight steamers in point of
constructive excellence and n0t while
there are hundreds of magnificent speci-
mems of new marine architecture carrying
freight to our docks, there are less than
half dozen passenger ships Of anything
like recent build or convenience"

Billy EIkes, of Saratoga, knocked out Jack
McGee, of Jersey City, in the seventh
round. In the first round the men spared
principally for points and both did clever
work. In the second the Sarstogian
knocked his man down, repeating the act
twice in the third round. From the third

he chose with the Jersey man, knocking
him down six times in the fourth, five
times in the fifth, four times in the sixth

LOCKING 10 LIE Giles.

Some figures recently gathered in
illinois show the surprising fact that
most of the agricultural counties are
ut Il sLandstilI, or actually decreasing,
in pom. lation. They are l02 counties
in the state. and only seven Of them
show an increase the past eight years
in the number Of male inhabitants
urdcr twenty one years Of ago. The
seven contain the larger cities Of the
state. The inCrease in Cook, which
contains Chicago, was greater by
c8.0I7 than tie gain Of the entire
state. That state is at tho head Of
the Western states in agricultural
productions, and farm life there
should have attractions for the
young men, if anywhere. But it does
not hold them III needful proportions.
They flock to the cities and over
crowd al the avenues TO employment
leaving their fathers to struggle
along as they car under the mort
cages. Asa result, the surplus of
competition in the cities reduced
wages. The tendency is the same in
all the states, and probably no city
can be found that could not profitably
spare a great many Young men to
operate farrns.-iThe Globe.
