DISTRICT CoURT.
Grand and PETIT JurIes EmpaneIed and
Sworn-A Few Pleas of Guilty.


Sworn-A Few Pleas of Guilty.
In accordance with adjourn
ment yesterday, district court
opened promptly at 10 O'Clock this
morning, Judge Hosea Townsend
presiding. The work of forming
a grand jury was taken up. and
the following were empaneled and
sworn: John McNeish, Ardmore,
foreman; T. NJ. Richardson, John
VandervoOrt, Sam House, John
Spencer, John Hill, Will McDan-
iel, James CIodus, Frank Robin
son, Jim Hardin, Josh Souther-
land, George Henry Bruce, Crib
Elliott, j. W. Fitzwater, Doc Nc
Dougall and a, A. Watson.
In delivering his charge to this
jury Judge Townsend reminded
the members that it was their duty
to examine into all violations of
the law, a. felonies and Tuisde
meanors. an though they would
be assisted by the assistant prose
cutting attorney, it remained the
sole province of the Jury as re-
garded the finding of an indict-
ment.
His honor believed that the
work of this court could be greatly
expedited in a remission of misde-
meancr cases to the commissioner,
who has the power to render final
Judgment on such and who, he
thought, would have more time
than this court, though this mat
ter rested with the grand jury.
Especial attention was called to
disturbing religious worship, car
rying of weapons. SANDER and
gaming. In all those matters the
jury was instructed that it had
sweeping authority, and his honor
quoted several sections of the fed
eral and Arkansas statutes as a
guide for the honorable body.
The introducing and selling of
liquor was given especial mention,
and while vast difference of opin-
ion prevailed regarding the same,
his honor said the government of
the United States had prohibited
such sale in this country and eS-
tablished a code governing the
same which is the law, and, being
such, it was the duty of this jury
to see that the law is enforced.
After again reminding the jury
that in all matters, especially felo-
nies, it had sweeping authority
the jury was placed in charge of q
bailiff and at once retired to enter
upon its duties.
The list of petit jurors was then
called, daily empaneled and sworn.
c. w. Harris, Jim Benns and /
n. Brock. absent jurors, were
fined $40 each.
A number of both grand anG
petit jurors were excused. some or
account of sickness and other goOC
excuses. A number of the jurors
who were members of the Chicka
| saw legislature were excused in or
der to attend the call session o.
that body which meets in the neal
future.
, A plea of guilty in a weapon
case was settled through an attor
ney, who passed in a check for $50
his honor remitting the cost.
Hal Woodbridge of Leon enteret
| plea of guilty to disturbing tn
peace and was fined $40; costs re

RECEPTION TO BOYS IN BLUE
THOUSANDS OF SACRAMENT.
ANS GREET THEM.
The Regiment of Nebraska Volun-
teers Passed Through the
City Yesterday.

The first of the four sections of the
train bearing the Nebraska volunteers
| passed through the city for San Fran
cisco at $40 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, the second reached here at 1920
o'clock and the third at 1890 p. m.
The troops comprised the First In
fantry, Nebraska United States Volun-
teers, and consisted of nearly 1,1OO
men, including the regiment band and
hospital corps.
Under the recent call for volunteers
| Nebraska's quota was fixed at two
regiments, and to insure activity it was
stated that the one first equipped would
be sent to San Francisco, the other to
Chickamauga Park. The First Infan-
| try was ready two days before the Sec
ond, and the boys who composed it and
who passed through here yesterday felt
proud to have been able to get the
Pacific Coast detail.
The war spirit evidently runs high
in Nebraska, and seventy-two of the
volunteers of the First Infantry at the
| time of their enlistment formed part
of the graduating class of the Nebraska
State University. Their instructor

The children of the public schools had
been dismissed by order of Superin-
tendent Erlewina and President Driv-

order that they might go own to the
depot and see the men who were going
to fight for their country and draw a
patriotic lesson from the sight.
They We're at the depot when the
1880 train came in, and it looked as if
every child had availed itself Of the
opportunity to see the troops.
1t was estimated that 5000 people,
fully half Of whom were children, as
sembled at the railroad depot, and the
reception was all that and probably
more than was expected by the Ne
| braSkans. There was a regular bonn
bardment of the train, the missiles used
being flowers, as we'll as oranges and
other ripe fruits, and bags of seductive
tobacco were also hurled through the
windows with small regards to conse-
quences. Then the children of all ages
cheered and shook hands with, and
snatched brass buttons from the coats
of the soldier boys, and cheered them
to the echo when their train finally
pulled out.

greet them.
Members of the Grand Army Of the
Republic were on hand distributing pa

hearty shake of the hand and said
cheering words to them.
Colonel r. l.. Peeler, Assistant Adju-

ernor Budd's Private Secretary, were
also in the crush, and on behalf of the
State National Guard and Of the Chief
Executive extended the hand of friend

The soldier boys were given rousing
welcomes at Colfax, Newcastle, Auburn
and other towns along the road, and
had nothing but good words for the peo-
pie of California.
Owing to the accident to No. z, the
Westbound overland, the fourth train

Street. between M and N Streets, has
been denied. The Commissioners do not
think that the granite blocks make the
most acceptable kind of a pavement for
the residence streets. However as new
pavements can only be laid after a di-
rect appropriation by Congress, and as
there are no funds available for the pres
ent, they state that it was impossible to

on Trial.

on Trial.
The trial of Edward v. Davis, q local
colored attorney, who is charged with
embezzling the funds of the John Wesley
A NJ e. Church, was begun yes
terday in Criminal Court No. 2, Justice
Bradley presiding.
The specific charge against Davis Is the
embezziement of s325.Sl. although it is
stated that he has collected nearly 1900
of the church funds, of which he has
failed TO make an accounting to the con-
gregation. Davis was chairman of the
finance committee of the church. As
such he collected the proceeds of the
rents of the church property from its
agent and was supposed TO place the
money on deposit In some local bank.
From the testimony introduced by the
Government it appears that he did not
do this, and it was not discovered until
the money was needed to pay the interest
due upon a loan made by the trustees of
John Wesley Church.
When the Government closed its case,
the defense moved that it be taken from
the jury on the ground that the allega-
tions made in the indictment had not
been sustained by the testimony adduced.
After hearing argument by the attorneys
for both sides Justice Bradley took the
matter under advisement and will an
nounce his decision this morning.

Changes at the Depot Seem to b
for the Best

A petition has been received by the
Commissioners from. James Davis and
others stating that they are the oldest
express drivers on the Baltimore and Ohio
stand, and that they would like to be
allowed to remain on the lower end of
that stand. The petitioners would also
like to have the younger drivers locate on
D Street.
Upon recommendation of Commissioner
Wight, the signers of the petition were
informed yesterday that the changes In
front of the depot were made after very
careful deliberation, and that the plan
now in vogue seems to be the best one.
If it should develop that other arrange
ments could. be made which would be an
improvement on the present plan, the
Commissioners state that they will be
willing to consider the application. but
that, for the present, it is inadvisable to
change the existing arrangements.

James Taylor, huckster in the Eastern

with the larceny of $40 from Private
Waiter Smith, of the Marine Corps. 1t
appears that Smith lost his money in the
market after making some purchases.
As soon as he discovered his loss he
made inquiry of those with whom he
had dealt regarding it. No information
could be gained concerning the money
and Smith telephoned to Inspector Mat
tingly, who detailed Detective Phillips to
look into the matter.
The detective found two men who had
seen Taylor pick something up just after
Smith had left his stand, With this in
formation confession was forced from
Taylor. The prisoner was locked up at
the Fifth Precinct station, where charge
of petit larceny was preferred against
him.
