for complaint of lack of attention
from the Scott county grand jury.
Five indictments were returned
against him yesterday afternoon.

the fearful and wonderful thing that
an Indictment must be under the
present Iowa law. One of them is s
or 10 feet long, containing copies of
the deeds and mortgages, etc, that
figure in the case. and none of them
are remarkable for their brevity.
They charge DR.. Thomas with the
following crimes: Forgery of a
deed, uttering forged deed, utter
ing a forged mortgage, obtaining
money under false pretenses (the
Lapitz case), obtaining money under
false pretenses (the Putnam case)
The grand iunry also indicted Frank

MERTEs MAY PLAY THIRD.
Sandow May BE Used to Strengthen
the White SOx InfeId

CHICAGO, Jan. 4l.-"Sandow" Mertes
may yet solve Comiskeys third base
problem this year, as he did that of Sec
ond base last season. PRESIDENT Comis-
key and Manager Griffith are still on the
lookout for desirable infelders and there
is still possibility that they will sign a
National Lacquer or in a trade get some
of the extra men now under contract to
American League clubs, but Mertes is the
man on whom they are relying in case
the other deals fall through. and it seems
to be a strong probability that "Sandow''
will again train with the infielders next
summer.
Comiskey has surplus number of out
tielders under contract and the "Old
Roman" has wanted to trade some of
these for a desirable third sacker The
other American League magnates have
been slow to give up their men, however
and third basemen of this class are
decidedly rare in the National League
These conditions may force the South side
magnates to depend entirely upon the
players now under contract to him.
At second last season Mertes greatest
fault was in the fumbling of slow balls.
They will come faster to him at third, he
is shifty, has q good baseball head, and
Griffith thinks that he will develop into
star at third. His hitting would be
much better than that of the ordinary
infielder, and Daily and Davis ought to
steady him and aid him in the fielding
department
If Mertes is shifted to the infield Nc
Farland will probably complete the out
field with Danny Green and Fielder
Jones.
81 don't know yet whom we will use
at third said Manager Griffith. sam
made good at second, though, and I don't
see why he can't play third better Ian
Hartman. He is the man we are holding
in reserve, and if we fall down on the
other players with whom we have been
negotiating he is the man that will fill the
vacancy -

afternoon to consider propositions about
coming football games and athletic re-

as to the outcome yesterday.
Prof. Stage said that if the matter
ever was settled, 1t would be settled for
seasons to come, and that Michigan and
Chicago would have their football dates
arranged for many years in the future.
Tfe said that it would be an alternative
arrangement. with Wisconsin at Chicago
