GRIND Jurors or Boys, which:

Considerable devilment WIS done in
town last night, but who did it Is n
question. Was it the boys celebrating
Halloween or was it the more staid
grand jurors on Il lark? IL must have
been either one, but winch is the ques.
ton. The evidence TIE reporter has
been able to gather tends to Icluit the
the boys. On this point, the evidence
Of Sheriff Clark has considerable
weight. He told the Exporter. when
interviewed, that everything WIS quiet
i'll town the night before the arrival OF
Of the grand jurors aud that al he mis-
chief was done after The grand jurors
came to town. The boys, he said, were
here every night and no such mischief
us that Of last night had beer done for
n year. Tho statement Of :hc sheriff
seems to make a strong case against the
grand jurors.
Senator Hunter expressed about the
came opinion us Sheriff Clark when in
tcrvicverd. He gave Us further proof
that the grand jurors did the work that
there was no boy in town tall enough to
hang a saloon and bakery sign on the
tlagpole, but there were two very tall
grand jurors who could DO the stunt
easily. This seemed to Senator Hunter
rs conclusive evidence Of tie guilt OF
the grand jurors.
Attorney Johnson said that to hIs
mind tie evidence against the grand
jurors was conclusive. lie objected to
beng quoted until after the Grand jury
adjourned, but the reporter O]vcrrulcd
the objection IN the ground that his opir-
ion on this question would not be worth
anything then. lie has the reporters
consent to enter an exception after this
i article is oil the p.rss.
Blu there is another side 81 this Qucs-
that. Foreman Henderson wis inter.
viewed this morning and bee uuhcsitat
iuglY said that the mischief WIS dom"
by the boys and that no Grand Juror
had any part i'll it. His attrutlon WAS
called to the proof piled up against his
with the remark that boys dill the same
kind Of tricks on Halloween yhcn he
was a boy. Men, he said, oil enough to
be grand jurors would not do such
work. It was too hard on them.
All the boys interviewed said withou;
Il trcmor in thor voices that they were
at home and asleep when the mischief
was done. They were very indignant {"
think thnt they should he accused Of
such mischief when there WAS a lot of
strangers III town, meaning, OF course,
the grand jurors.
Night Watchman IIhrbin was also in
tcrvicwcd. lie was rather r]cticcnt and
all that could he learned from Inn WAS
that"hc nearly run his legs oil by watch

he refused to say. So there You are.
Tho reporter has carefully ~rcfrained
from giving his opinion OF the guilt or
innocence of either OF the accused par
ties. His task has been To give the
opinions OF others. II these opinions rs

jurors. the fault. il any, rests on the
shoulders OF those whose opinions ar,
