SURPRISE AT ST. PAUL
ROADS AND GRAIN FIRMS GET
GRAND JURY sHAkE.uP.
MANY REBATE INDICTMENTS
Eleven Railroad Officials Included In
the List, but Names Are
Withheld.

Minneapolis, Minn.-Eleven indict-
ments were handed to Judge Lochran
III the United States district court
and they covered the giving Of rebates
by certain railroads and the receiving
of the same by grain firms and indi-
viduals. The list of corporations
against which the indictments were
returned, as given out by Assistant
District Attorneys Ewart and Dickie,
who have bad charge of the cases,
were as follows:
The Great Northern Railroad Co.,
four indictments and about rs counts.
Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha railway, one indictment and
so counts.
Wisconsin Central railway, one in
dictment, II counts.
Minneapolis & st. Louis railway,
one indictment, 5 counts.
The indictments against the rail
roads charge the giving of rebates.
For Receiving Rebates.
Under the head Of receiving rebates,
the following true bills were returned:
w. P. Devereux Co., Mccall insmore
Co., Minneapolis; Ames-Brooks Co., of
Duluth; Duluth Milling Co.
Some Of the specific charges con
tanned in the indictments were
against the Great Northern railway,
two indictments for giving rebates to
the Spencer Grain Co., one for giving
to the McCall-Dinsmore Co. and for
giving rebates to the Spencer Grain
Co.
The Omaha railroad, the Wisconsin
Central and the Minneapolis & st.
Louis were charged with favoring the
Spencer Grain Co. The companies in
dicted who are not railroad companies
are charged with receiving rebates.
Railroad Officials Indicted.
Besides the corporations, indict-
ments were returned against eleven
individual officials of the railroads
named, but United States District At
torney Houpt said he would not con
sent to the lanes being given out
for publication owing to the fact that
no service had yet been obtained upon
them.
The general offense alleged in the
railroad indictments is the absorption
of grain elevation charges.
After the bunch of indictments had
been given out to the court, the Jurors
were excused for the term and told
to convene again in st. Paul.
Perhaps the most surprised people
of all were the railroads, for none
of those interested expected indict-
ments to be brought.
