BEFORE GRAND JURY.
The III. H Drake Case to be InVesti-
gated In Court.

The case of "Old Man" Drake. as
told in Saturday evenings HERALD, is
attracting considerable attention, not
alone in the vicinity of the place
where the deceased lived, but the case
has been brought to the notice of the
Mahaska county grand jury.
When the old man was found dead,
the coroner took charge of the case,
and a careful investigation of the
manner of his death was made. All
evidence that was possible to reach at
the time was carefully sifted and all
facts seemed to point toward self-mur-
der. The coroner's jury so thought,
and SO returned their verdict. 1t will
be remembered that the shack where
the old man lived was found with
doors and windows barricaded and
nailed down and a revolver was found
in the room with empty chambers.
Five wounds were found on the body.
There were two abrasions of the skull,
probably caused by glancing bullets.
Two of the balls had entered the
brain. either of which would have
caused death. The fifth wound was
in the fleshy part of the arm.
NOPlO 1S5luihS III IuC NiClhllJ DC-
gan to hear things soon after the in
terment of the old gentleman. 1t was
freely limited that murder had been
done, and circumstances in support OF
this theory were cited. 1t is now
firmly believed in the neighborhood
of the tragedy that the old man was
murdered. So much talk was heard
that the grand jury has taken up the
case and has made several investiga.
tons. This body is not at all satisfied
with the evidence placed before it.
and the case is liable to be re-opened
by them at any time. The jury is
awaiting developments in the case and
1t has not yet been passed. The re
cent stories of the haunted house
brings the case to prominence again
and other developments may be look
ed for.

"Wlfen it dawns IN all its glory we
shall put the Past away,
And, trusting In its coming, greet its
bright, initial day.
The sun will burstin grandeur on the
era that it brings,
And loves unknown to-day will touch
the hearts melodious strings
Oh, when it breaks upon the world
may every mist depart,
And may it's bells ring joyously in
every human heart;
For everywhere on land and sea the
millions wait to cheer
The banners which in splendor wave
above the glad New Year"
