ANOTHER BATCH OF TRUE BILLS
= IN CONNECTION WITH POS
TAI INVESTIGATION.
OHIO WOMAN AMONG THOSE INDICTED
NAME OF MRS. GEORGE E.LORENZ
COUPLED WITH MACHEN
AND SEVERAL OTHERS.

Washington. June 19.-The federal
grand jury which has been investigat-
Ing postal affairs is expected shortly
to bring In five indictments against
persons involved Assistant District
Attorney Taggart, who has the cases
In charge for the government, was at
his Office earlier than usual in the
morning and was busily engaged in
going over the indictments. He de-
MED himself to all callers.
Although every effort has been made
to keep the public in ignorance of the
action to be taken until the papers
were ready for presentation by the
grand jury it is learned on unques-
toned authority that the jury has
voted to return indictments against
August w. Machen, DIller B. Croft.
Samuel A. Croft, George e. Lorenz and
Mrs. Lorenz. the two latter being resi-
dents of Toledo, O.. The specific
charge, it is understood, will be CON
sDiracy to ucrrduu the government.
The fact that new indictments would
be returned against Machen and the
Croft brothers has been talked of for
some time around the courthouse, but
1t was not expected that action would
be taken so soon. The sensational
feature of the probable proceedings
Is the connection of Mrs. LorenZ
name with the transactions which led
to the arrest Of Machen and the
Groffs. At the time of the arrests
stories were in circulation that there
was go-between, but the information
at hand then was not conclusive
enough to establish the identity of
this particular party.

CERvIAsI RULER INFORMED THAT
ASSASSINS OF ALEXANDER
MUST De PUNISHED.
NEW DYAkSTY OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED
OF PETER WELCOMED
BY RUSSIA AND HER BEST
WISHES EXTENDED.

ST. Petersburg, June 19.-An official
note was published in the Gazette dur
ing the day recognizing Prince Peter
Karageorgevitch as king OF Servia and
welcoming his accession. In brief the
note declares that it is incumbent
upon King Peter to avenge the assas-
sination of King Alexander and Queen
Draga and expresses the conviction
that he will know how to severely
punish the regicides, whose misdeeds
should not be visited ON the entire
Servian nation or army. The note
adds that 1t would be dangerous to
the tranquility of Servia to leave the
crime unpunished The text of the
note follows:
"A week has now elapsed since the
day of the bloody revolution at Bel
grade, an intimation of which could
not be given to the imperial govern
ment in the customary official form
because legal authority was lacking in
Servia. Strictly adhering to her
standpoint of non-intervention in the
internal affairs Of the Balkan states
and at the same time finding it i'm
possible to hold any intercourse with
the persons who have arbitrarily
usurped power Russia has awaited
the conclusion of the troubles in order
TO define clearly her attitude towards
the events in the kingdom of Servia."
The note then refers to the election
Of King Peter and the latter's message
to the czar asking Russia's recognition
and continues:
Assassins Must Be Punished.
"The imperial government, while
hailing the election OF the new mon
arch, scion OF a glorious dynasty, and
wishing all success to the supreme
head of the Servian people. which is
allied to Russia by ties of religion,
:an nevertheless not refrain from ex-
pressing the confident hope that King
Peter will be able to give evidence OF
ais sense Of justice and firmness OF
will by adopting measures at the out
set to investigate the abominable mis-
Heed which has heen commltted anu
% mcte out rigorous punishment to
hose traitorous criminals who have
stained themselves with the infamy

lence by the military. Such neglect
would inevitably react In an unfavor-

Their Russian co-religionists offer

the souls of King Alexander and his
consort. who have met an untimely
end. and they invoke the blessing OF
the Almighty on the rule OF King
Peter for the welfare and prosperity
of the Servian people.

ARairs at Their ReEu-
lar Meeting.

Country roads, bridges and hayward
streams claimed ZONE more attention from
the commissioners at their session yester-
day morning. The board ordered the county
clerk to advertise for bids for moving 5000
yards OF dirt to straighten the Elkhorn
river north Of the military road and about
two miles west of Elk City, in order that
the steel bridge near that bend may be
saved. The board ordered also asstraight-
ening OF the August Book Road in Willard

ing straight through.

Robert Dunlap, fireman at the country
hospital, from S25 to $50.

pay the $1,000 claim OF George osler,
whose wife and children lost a team in .
washout on a county road and nearly
drowned with the horses. The county at
