 The first indictment returned by the grand jury was against Robert Crosby for murder in the first degree, in killing Sheriff J. D. Morgan. This indictment was returned about 2 D. m., and Cros- by was then brought into court heavily guarded while the judge informed him of the indictment. During this time Crosby was calm and appeared unconcerned.
 When asked by the court, he said he had no counsel, and had no means with which to employ counsel, so Judge Fulkerson appointed Dean Coleman to de- fend the man.
 After a short consultation with his lawyer, Crosby was returned to jail. No cases were called in. court today at all.

Perry County Citizens Aroused Over Immortality of Their Senator Who Is Named As Correspondent In

k Perryville, October IT. "A mass meeting was held at Perryville October 15, for the purpose of receiving the report of a commit tgsvts ti;gtsts1 vts1rres7vsi;ovsly appoiENed to in- vfstigate the conduct Y Senator Albert w. Rison. N
 The meeting was called to or der by the chairman, F. A. Tar 4;n- the minutes of the previous T m'ag were read and adopted, hae report of the committee
 Icaing the evidence against Senacor Rison was read.
 A large crowd of people from various parts of the county was present and took part in the dis eussion.
 A motion was made and car ried that the chairman appoint a committee of five to superintend the circulation of the petition in the various parts of Perry county asking Senator Rison to resign his position as state senator.
 Together with other evidence offered, was a copy of the di- vorce complaint of R. E. Rison, against his wife, charging her infdelity and naming Senator A. w. Rison as the correspondent.
 Among those present was MT. Roy Rison, son of R. F. Rison, who said that he would swear that the statements set out in his fathers complaint for divorce are true.
 The citizens here think that the good citizens of. Pulaski county are as much interested in this affair as the people of this county, they being a part of this senatorial district, and that they should as such take action in the premises.
 Sentiment runs high here and the people will not overlook such gross immoral conduct as that alleged against Senator Rison.
 A damage suit for $5, 900 has been filed by R. E. Rison against his brother, A. w. Rison, for alternating the affections of his wife, Minnie Rison.

Sale of Large Business Property on
PENNSYLVANIA Avenue

Mr.. Stilson Hutchins has sold to Mr.. s.
Meyer of this city 1921 and 1888 Penn
sylvania avenue northwest, being lots %
and %, square POI. The property fronts
SO feet on the north side of Pennsylvania
avenue and contains 2,077 square feet
and is improved by three-story modern
building, part of which is occupied by Mr.
Meyer.
Mr.. Meyer some years ago started in
business on Tth street and remained there
until he moved to 14l1 Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and later to 1921 Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. which was built specially for him by
Mr. Stilson Hutchins under contract of
years lease, which began about one
and one-half years ago. The property
was sold to Mr.. Hutchins at that time by
Mr.. Ben Il. Bradford for something like
S55, 900. the improvements costing in adj
dition about $4,000, making an invest
ment by Mr.. Hutchins of $4,000. The price
paid by Mr.. Meyer is $4,000 being S2T
per square foot. This fully indicates, it is
said, that the value of Pennsylvania ave-
nue. property is increasing, and not declin
ing. The projected improvements on the
show, it is believed, this property to have
been sold at a very low valuation.
Mr.. Ben B. Bradford managed this trans

BOYS IN TROUBLE.
Had Deserted Home Seven Months Ago
Going to Florida

Two rather good looking boys were found
on the street near the Center market yes
terday afternoon by Policeman Murphy.
Their apparel gave them the appearance
of hoboes, but there was something about
them that specially attracted the officer.
He learned from questioning them that they
We're from Allegheny, Pa. and that they
wanted to return to their homes. The boys
were thereupon placed under arrest and
sent to the house of detention.
1t was said by them that they left Allie
gheny' seven months ago and went to Flor
ida. They were able to beat their way
through on passenger trains. Stops were
made at several places and the reception
given them upon their arrival was by no
means a cordial one. They say they ex-
perienced hard time in the land of orange
trees and upon their return trip they found
1t necessary to make number Of stops,
and work for the means of subsistence.
Capt. Boardman heard their statements
yesterday and sent telegram to the police
of Allegheny asking for information about
them. The result was that a ticket was
sent here for Wilson's return, but the infor-
nation concerning Turner was not at all
fiattering. His case was referred to the
board of guardians and he was sent home
with his companion. Turner expressed
doubt about finding his parents In Allie
gheny. as they had talked about moving to
Denver before he deserted his home

Revolving Scenes.

The mixed condition OF family relations is
also one of the incidents of the most revolt
ing nature connected with the system. A
mother and daughter We're wives of the
same man. One mother married, and at the
time promised that as soon as her two little
daughters should become old enough they
would be given in marriage to her own hus-
band. The little girls talked in their child
ish way of when they were to grow up and
marry papa.
One man married a half sister, and Brig
ham Young approved the act Frequently
sisters married the same man. In their con-
test for wives the Mormons would get the
promise of the hands of young girls long
before they hal discarded short dresses.
