Lottery OmeiaIs Indicted.

The United States grand jury at Sioux
Falls, S. D., has returned eighteen indict-
ments OF the Louisiana lottery. The evil
dence was all laid before the jury in the
form of affidavits, and was kept with the
utmost secrecy. The department at Wash
ington brought the charges before this
court for the reason that their efforts in
other states before United States grand
juries had been frustrated. The United
States marshal and his deputies have gone
TO New Orleans TO arrest the president,
vice-president, secretary, treasurer and
directors of the lottery company. The
grand jury reported eleven separate indict-
ments, each giving eighteen, counts, against
the officers of the Louisiana company.
Among the list are General Beauresard,
Paul Conrad, president, and Joseph p.
Horner, secretrry. The indictments are
for transmitting lottery advertisements
through the mails, which is n violation OF
the lottery law passed last winter by con-
gress. The extreme penalty in cases OF
conviction is five years Imprisonment and
d, 900 fine.
