THE INDICTMENT MILL WORKING
The Grand Jury Turns the
Crank Once More.
Seven More Indictments Returned
Against AL C0bler.
Two WsllKnown Real Estate Brokers
Asked to Explain Queer Trans
actiOn-Tho Al CObler
Indictments.

At O'Clock yesterday afternoon the
grand jury announced that they were
ready to return some more indictments.
Judge Smith had gone home, go Judge
York was called into department one to
review the report.
The usual secresy was observed in re.
turning the indictments. but the mys.
terry Was short lived; for almost as soon
as Judge York had fixed the bail at
$4,000 each in four indictments, two of
the indicted men were arrested and in
the court room.
They were A. J. Mead and D. W. Hud-
son, real estate brokers with Offices in
the Jones block on North Spring street.
The indicted men had been requested
to come up to the court house on busi-
ness, and when they arrived the arrest
was made.
The charge against them is of obtain
ing 500 under false pretenses from Mrs
Sarah V. Rubens and her daughter.
Miss Lobelia Rubens, about one and a
half years ago.
The ladies, who live in the city, al
lege that they were induced to loan the
money to the real estate men upon their
representations that they owned nice
tract of land of 40 acres in San Fernando
valley.
In order to carry out the trade, one of
the ladies was taken out to the valley
and shown very nice tract of land,
which was stated to be that upon which
the loan would be made.
Everything appeared to be satis-
factory and the loan wac made. The
ladies accepted a mortgage on what
they supposed was the land described,
and Messrs. Mead and Hudson received
the money.
Mrs. Rubens now claims that the land
shown them is not the land upon which
the mortgage is gwen. No only that,
but that it is nothing but a sand wash
upon which they have mortgage.
They allege that Messrs. Mead and
Hudson did not even own that when
the mortgage was given. but that the
same day, after receiving the $500, they
bought the sand wash for $3.50, thus
cleaning up $500.
1t is claimed that these facts have
only been discovered recently, and that
after the assembling OF the grand jury
the ladies presented the matter, thus
resulting in the indictments.
There are two other men mixed up in
the transaction, but as they had not
been arrested up to a late hour their
names were not revealed. The indicted
men claim that they will be able to ex-
plain everything satisfactorily when the
time comes.
THE COBLER INDICTMENTS.
Yesterday morning Judge Smith over
ruled the motion to set aside the indict-
ments against AL Cobler, and took un-
der advisement the demurrer presented
by defendants counsel.
The seven additional indictments re-
turned last week prove to be also
against Cobler, charging up additional
peculations. He has not yet been ar.
raigned under them.

VIIt CLOSE Tonight.
THE ZIG MASONIC BAZAAR TO END Al
MIDNIGHT.
Yesterday was Knights Tsmplar Day-Alts1dancs
Not So Largs-Spseial Attractions Last
Eight-To-Day's Programme

The big Aasonic bazaar and festival
with its weaNN Of interesting and en-
pertaining feats-es. will be brought to
close tonight. II was announced yes
terday morning uat the fair would be
continued on MonGay evening, the pro-
ceedS on that day tobe divided between
the City Hospital ana the relief com
mittee. 1t appears that tie published
notice TO that effect was prema-
ture. The communities in charge
had not been fully con-
suited with reference to the contin.
uance, and has not been given an oppor-
tunity to consider the matter. The
Executive Committee met last night
and decided to close the bazaar at mid
night on Saturday. There are several
very good reasons given for this change
in the programme. The committee
found that all the provisions
which had been contributed were
disposed of the first two days,
and If the bazaar was continued on
Monday evening, 1t would be necessary
10 purchase almost everything to be Of
fered for sale. The ladies in charge Of
the different booths and cafes were will
ing TO work another evening, but the
committee was of the opinion that the
affair would prove financial failure.
Another reason given was that the
taking Of an inventory of the articles
on hand, which would have been neces-
Sary in the event that the bazaar was
continued, would result in endless con-
fusion and trouble.
The bazaar will close tonight and
those who desire TO take advantage Of
the opportunity to see all the Midway
attractions may come either this after
noon or evening. A special matinee
will be given between the hours of two
and five o'clock, when the general ad-
mission will be 10 cents for all. All the
ladies will be in costume and Midway
will present the same features as 10 the
evening.

Fancy jig. Mister McGinty and Miss
IN THE IRISH VILLAGE

At eight o'clock it was announced
that parade would precede the con-
cert, and it was awaited with consider
able interest. Promptly at the appoint
ed hour, the tapping Of a drum was
heard and the procession came forth
from the gate of the village. II was
headed by the Irish policeman who
swung his club with dexterity that
would have done credit TO any Of 1.-The
finest" In Wheeling. Then came Judge
McFresh, stately and sober, the
ladies OF the booth, all in costume,
Buck" Tyler (who is not irish beat
ing a drum, all the star performers, and
the colored Quartette, and bringing up
the rear Mr.. Robert Haase, who eXer-
cised his lungs in advertising the con-
cert. The village was crowded and the
entertainment was very creditable
one.
About $50 o'clock a concert was given
in the lodge room on the fourth floor,
which was crowded almost TO suffocs-
ton. Selections Of pleasing nature
were rendered by the PaStime Quar-
tette, an excellent vocal aggregation,
and fancy daLces were executed. The
Quartette will sing again tonight, and
every person should hear them.
AT the conclusion OF the concert, the
floor was cleared, and the Opera House
orchestra struck up the first notes OF
popular waltz. A programme of dances
was followed for about two hours, and
the floor was at all times filled with
devotees OF the tespsichorean art.
As this will be the last day OF the
bazaar an effort will be made TO make
ia the most interesting. To this end,
special attractions will be provided,
both for the matinee and evening.
