Mayor George w McCaskrin was in
dicted by the grand jury which made its
report yesterday. but which did not be
come pubIictill this morning, for malic-
iously inducing others to destroy railway
property, an offense which constitutes
felony, and for which a penitentiary
sentence may be imposed on convlc-
ton. The Offense for which Mayor
McCaskrin was bound over to the
grand jury impeding and obstructing
the operation of railway without due
process of law. constituted only mis-
demeanor, and the charges against the
six policemen who were bound over
with him were ignored by the jury. AS
Mayor McCaskrin's name did not ap-
pear in the list of those bound over to
the grand jury whose cases were ig-
nored, it was assumed that he had
been indicted.
For Tearing Up Tracks.
The indictment is the result of the
mayors track removal episode of June
90, the second time that he with a
squad of police tore up the tracks of
the D., r. |. & y. w railway on the
levee After he had removed some
80 feet of the track, he was arrested
by Sheriff Heider, on a warrant sworn
out before Justice G.. Albert johnson,
charging him and the six policemen
with impeding railway traffic without
due process of law. The complaint,
was made by S. B. Stoddard. the rail
way company's local agent. A change
of venue was taken to Justice j. H.
Cleland. who held all OF the defendants
to the grand jury under $500 bond.
This second instance of tearing up
the tracks came after the city council
had passed resolutions stating that

the first occasion, about two months
previous, temporary injunction was
secured, and this later was dismissed.
the railway company not caring to con-
tinue a litigation that might seem to.
indicate i'll feeling against the city.
Mayor McCaskrin appeared in court
this morning and gave bond IN the sum
of $1,000. his sureties being Jerome
Williamson, DR.. J. F. Meyers, and J.
w. Cavanaugh.
