From Tuesdays Daily.

grand jury that is now at work on
cases of alleged law violations in this
county. Aside from the three cases
that were bound over to the grand
jury, mentioned yesterday, the jury is
likely to investigate another matter,
it is said, but what this is cannot be
learned.
Every member of the jury answered
to his name when the roll was called
at eleven O'Clock in the district court,
and none had requests to make to be
jury, mentioned yesterday the jury is
excused. This was so unusual a show
ing as to call for comment from Judge

and then retired and is expected to
complete its labors tomorrow

FELTON,, and those for the petit jury
