THIRTY-ONE INDICTED.
The Grand Jury Returned Indictments
Against Thirty-one Prominent
Cattlemen for Mauslsughter.

Against Thirty-one Prominent
Cattlemen for Manslaughtsr.
The final report of the grand jury
last Monday morning returned an in
dictment against thirty.one stockmen
for manslaughter in the first degree.
This is the result of the killing of John
Eckman, the sheep herder, near the
Nebraska line last August, when q
number of cattlemen went to prevail
upon Eckman to not bring the sheep
he was herding into Fall River county.
What sort Of dispute followed on that
fateful day will probably DO developed
in the testimony. But Eckman lost
his life and this indictment against the
following stockmen is the result: Geo.
Fisher, Clarence Mcclellan, Francis
NJ. Mcclellan, William L. Judkins,
Benjamin Harrison, Alva Slatery, Ern-
est Pettegrew, Chas. Damon, Louis
Heppner, Albert j. Silcock, Augustus

B. West, John Underwood, Daniel
Crimins, Aaron S. Barnes, Chas. Petite
grew, William H. Fox, Geo. Brown,
James 7. Long, John H. White, Free
man B. Miller, Joel Gamet, James w.
Nichols, Arthur Shirk and Raymond
Paulson. 1t will be observed that
among the list are some of the most
prominent and respected residents of
the county, while there are many 9TH
or stockmen who are taking deep in
terest in behalf of the defence. 1t is
general comment that the cattlemen
indicted were desirous of this indict-
ment at this time to avoid any flu.
ture trouble arising over it and to
allay whatever suspicion there may be
against them in the accusation of man
slaughter. This would indicate that
they had no fear whatever as to the
outcome. The jury was secured
Wednesday morning and at this writ
ing, Thursday noon, the indications
are that the trial will be finished by
night and go to the jury.
The jury is comprised of the follow.
ing gentlemen: Wood Craven, Matt
Bingham, G. E. Roe, E. s. Cox, Ed
Bond, Samuel johnson, Thos.
O'Rourke, Chas. Conger, H. M. Brind.
ley. Geo. w. Allen, F. G.. Osmotherly
and g. L. Jensen.
The case of the state vs.. Louis Hepp-
ner for grand larceny was given to
the jury Wednesday forenoon, and af-
ter remaining out until Thursday
morning they reported disagreement
and were discharged. 1t is reported
that the jury stood eight for acquittal
and four for conviction.
