ADJOURNMENT OF THE U. s. COURT.
The U. s. grand jury yesterday after
noon briefly reported that it had COM
pleted it's work and asked to be dis
charged. Judge Seeds complimented the
Jury upon the faithful manner in which
it had done it's duty and granted it's
members permission to go home. The
court held q session last night for the
purpose of auditing accounts and then
adjourned.
IMPROVEMENTS AT THE FEDERAL BUILDING.
U. s. Collector Shannon, ex-officio Gus
todian Of the federal building, sometime
ago received authority from Washington
to make important improvements in the
building mentioned and in the surround,
ing grounds. It.appears that the ground
Immediately north of the building was
lower than that above. Consequently
whenever heavy rains came or snow was
melting water stood there in pool and
sometimes flowed over into the basement.
The sinking of the water gradually weak
ened the foundation and caused the north
east corner of the building to settle. Mr..
shannon has obviated this by filling in
and grading off the grounds about the
structure. He has also put in coal
chute to the bin in the basement and has
also built brick area walls around the
basement windows. The work was done
under contract by Digneo Bros.
DECLINED TO APPROVE IT.
Lawyer Spiess prepared bond for
$4,000 and had it signed by numerous
parties last evening, hoping to secure the
release of Atilano Gold from Jail, but
Judge Seeds, after examining the instru-
ment and ascertaining that the sureties
were worth very little over and above
their just debts, declined to approve it.
As Judge Seeds left to-day for months
visit in Iowa the chances are that Gold
will continue to languish in Jail for some
time. 49,
