for the first Monday visitors yester-

men from different sections of the
county took part in the show with
well groomed animals. 1t was a mag

the visitors Ellis county is well

GRAND JURY ILLEGAL
One Juror ACCeetet Who Was not a
Qualified Voter in County.

The grand jury which was impan-
neled he first day of the present
term of the district court has been
declared Illegal, and yesterday that
august body had TO be reorganized.
The fact that the inquisitofial
board had not been legally organiz-
ed developed at the end of the first
weeks deliberation, and yesterday
morning when the grand jury reas
sembled to begin its duties steps
were taken to reorgahize in legal
form
The trouble was caused by the tem-
porary removal from Ellis county
to johnson by ]. l.. w Forbes, one
of the members of the jury. He made
his domicile in Venus a few months
and then returned to his farm in Ellis
county. which disqualified him as a
voter in this county this year. When
accepted as member of the grand
jury he was under the impression
that he was qualified to serve, but
after debating the matter in his mind
a while he became convinced that he
was not acting with legal capacity.
TES matter was submitted to the
co 4"t for adjustment and the court
ru3 that Mr.. Forbes was not quail
go voter and therefore was incapa'
sas.-ssed from serving as a juror. The
grand jury was then ordered dis
banded for the purpose of being re
organized Col r. H. Connally ol
Waxahachie was accepted as juror
in Mr.. Forbes place.
Practically no loss of labor has
resulted from this error which was
cpnscientiously made Had any bills
of indictment been returned the first
week they would have been nullified.
All grand jury bailiffs had to re-
turn to the city today and be sworn
in again.
