INDICTED AS "BuNeY."
How Law Breaker and His Friends
We're Held.


When the grand jury of the Superior
court met, County Attorney True made
up his mind that sundry parties would
be indicted so as to hold them. He found
that they were better known by their
nick names than by any other. For ex-
ample one man was commonly known as
"Bungy.n The police knew him by no
other name, and were uncertain as to
his given name. They knew "Bungy"
only too well, but failed to give Mr..
True his given name, that is with any
degree of certainty. Mr.. True concluded
that under ordinary circumstances he
was bound to lose his man, through his
ignorance of his given name. He there
fore concluded to indict him under the
name of Bungy," and did the same
thing in the cases of others. He did his
best to get the correct given names, but
added the street names" by which the
men were commonly known. His officers
were ready to swear that they knew
them by no other given names, and Mr..
True after the jury found the indict-
ments, felt reasonably certain that he
should hold his men at last, and SO 1T
proved. To be sure, on the first day OF
the court, some of the lawyers objected
to these indictments, but the county
attorney was pretty sure that he could
live up to Col. Crocket's motto, 6 be sure
you're right, and then go ahead" and
every man was held

very bright number, under the editor

not support good school paper like the

MAnsion = Dangerous
Curiosity.

What may prove to be the work OF a
bomb crank came near causing the
death OF Joseph Bushey OF the Lynwood
dairy the other evening.
Buehey was making his usual rounds.
In passing the residence OF Mrs. George
r, Shatto OF 1918 Orange street, near
Seventh, he espied what he thought was
jewelry lying on the sidewalk in front OF
the Shatto mansion.
With the careless manner of most
youths. Bushey picked up the article
a1d took it home. Then he began an
examination.
He took the article and began prying
into it with a chisel. Scarcely had he
struck the contents when terrific ex.
plosion occurred. Bushey was knocked
almost seneeless and was wounded
badly in the arm and breast.
The thing proved to be bomb con-
sisting OF two brass tubes which were
hiled with dynamite. How the bomb
came to bs placed there is mystery.
DR.. alexander attended the injured
man and now pronounces him on the
