SAME CHARGE AS BEFORE.

ent of poor, indicted on a charge Of
the misappropriation Of public funds
will be tried at this term Of court
His case is set for Monday. 1t will
probab bly, not be reached on that day,
but will be tried just as soon as a few
other cases can be disposed Of.
This information was given out by
the county attorneys office this morn
ing. The defendant was tried once
and convicted, but was given new
trial by Judge Elliott He will prob
ably be given second trial on this
old indictment. -"
Another Indictment was returned
against Johnson and C. H. Brown on
similar charge, but on account of the
latter's absence from the city, there
has as yet been no arraignment. The
county attorney has not yet entirely
decided whether Johnson will be ar
raigned without his alleged partner in
crime, but 1t is probable that nothing
will be done with the new indictment
until Brown is located.

Naturally other agents had to fall into
line.
Owing to the growth Of Saturday early
