The grand jury, which mas oeeh III
session since Tuesday afternoon, con-
Guided it's work Friday evening and ad-
journed. Five indictments were re-
ported, including one against George
w. Makepeace, lawyer of this city.
Mr.. Makepeace is charged with con-
cealing stolen property, and his indlct-
ment grows out of transactions in con-
nection with the arrest of Mrs. Georgia
Mason. the paroled prisoner who was
caught in the act of shoplifting and IN
whose possession a large quantlty Oh
stolen goods was discovered. AT the
time of her arrest Makepeace, who was
Mrs. Masons attorney, went TO the
woman's rooms and took possession OF
some of the goods, which were later
turned over to the officers on demand.
Makepeace claimed to have acted I'M
der instructions from Mrs. Mason
father which the latter denied. MT.
Makepeace was notified OF MS indlcl-
ment, appeared this morning and gave
bonds of $500 for his appearance When
the case is called In the district court.
Mr.. T. F. Bradford at once volun-
teered to defend Mr. Makepeace without
cost, and it is probable he will do so.
Dan Miller. q farm hand who has
been in the employ of Jake Fiscus, was
indicted for the larceny of a watch
claimed to be of the value of $50. lie
was arrested this morning ana In oe-
fault of bonds went to jail.
Frank Kimes, the tramp who was ar
rested at Bangor for entering the Dan
Rash home, and who has been In jail
since that time, was indicted on
charge of burglary.
Two other indictments were re-
turned, both against the same person,
whose whereabouts are unknown ana
who may not be arrested for some time
to come.
The grand jury visited the city
dumping ground near the river on
North Third avenue, and has registered
a complaint regarding conditions there.
The report on this subject. and on the
condition of the county Jail, follows:
I'VE, the members of the. grand jury
for the March, 1902, term of the district
court in and for Marshall county, re-
port that we have visited the county
iail and have carefully inspected the
same and found the Jail In good con-
dition, and are pleased to note that eV7
erything in connection with the jail is
being managed and conducted in a
proper and satisfactory manner.
1--WE also wish to state that on North
Third avenue, just north of the bridge,
at the place where the city has been
dumping it's garbage. sufficient care has
not been observed by those who have
the matter of the dumping of the gar
hage in charge, and the same has been
deposited in the road, and in our opin-
ion, is a nuisance and is dangerous TO
teams passing by, and we would rec
ommend that this matter of the deposits
ing of the garbage should be invests
gated by the proper authorities, and
that the nuisance created by dumping
the garbage in the road and near the
same be removed"
Other Court Matters.

err will receive $500 because he is de-
prived of the labor and support Of his
