The report was brought In by Fore
man W. c, Handlan. II will be noticed
that there are many mot true" bills
under the head OF alleged Hhsdemean-
ors. This Is particularly true of Alice
Bradford. Michael Agnic and Maud
Smith. These are repeated charges OF
the same offense brought to the atten-
ton OF the grand jury through justices
OF the peace, who appear TO have been
quite Industrious lately. The grand jury
In declining TO bring In almost innum-
cradle slime" bills. observes the differ
ence between prosecution and pcrsecu-
tlon.
The Jury will be IN session all day
to-day and may not complete Its work
even then. Yesterday the deputy shcr-
IFS were kept busy sunmonlng wit
nesses. most OF whom are wanted 10
testify In election cases. II Is under
stood that nearly every judge and clerk
Of election in the county has been sum
uroned and thorough investigation
Will be made OF alleged irregularities.
II IS sud that In two or three pre-
Cincts the. clerks numbered the ballots,
In one they failed 10 seal them before
taking them to the county commission
ers, and in still another. they folded
them with the face OF the ballot ont,
after counting, all Of, which Infringe
on the ballot law.
No matter how these cases arc set
tied. It will not affect the result OF the
election for the voter was in no way to
blame. Nothing OF q serious natur. Is
anticipated. but the jury's action will
serve to make the Judges and clerks OF
election more careful in the future.
