GRAND JURY DISMISSED.
Twentynine Indictments Found and Suitable
Resolutions Passed.

The United States grand jury was dis
charged yesterday after being in session fol
two weeks.
During their meeting they found twenty
nine indictments against Oklahoma Grim
inals, but for obvious reasons the names oi
those against whom indictments have been
found are kept secret until the men are
arrested and in the custody of the United
States government.
When the jury was dismissed Chairman
J. W. Hamilton called all the members
together and sent for Mr.. Soper, assistant
| United States attorney, and the balance
OF the afternoon was devoted to pleasure.
| A number OF the jurors put their heads
together and appointed committee TO
draft suitable resolutions expressive of
their feelings after they had been dis
missed. The following are the resolu-
tions:

| referred the duty of drafting suitable reso-
lutions on the occasion of the dismissal OF

Hon. James w. Hamilton, and the gentle

collectively, involving our actions while
sitting on this grand jury, but If
the accusing angel should have charges
made against US we hope and trust the
Supreme Grand Jury above will open the
fountains of its mercy and accord TO us at
least the same degree of leniency which
our worthy foreman and the just and i'm
partial prosecutor have shown those upon
whose sins it was our duty TO set in Judg-
ment.
