GRAND JURY
HEARSCOW
TROUBLES
WARRING FACTIONS FROM
. SUMNER BRING WEIGHTY
CASE BEFORE PROBERS.

/ No indictments were returned
by the grand. jury today, the en-
tire morning session being occu-
pied with the hearing of petty
dispute from Sumner. 1t was
limited, however, that other indict-
ments may be looked for during
the next few days, after County
Commissioners. Simon Mettler and
Torger Peterson have been ex-
amined. The commissioners will
face the Jury. tomorrow morning.
| The case before the jury today
relates to the. estray ordinance of
Sumner. The town has developed
factions, one side wishing cows to
be allowed to run at large, the
Iother party desiring the animals
Ito be confined.
The town ordinance says that
COWS must be tied, or confined to
an enclosure, but the ordinance
has not been enforced. This gave
the faction in favor of the ordi-
nance an opening and they
brought the matter before the
grand Jury in order to have the
laws enforced.
Among today's witnesses were
Justice of the Peace J. p. In
gals and Mayor White of Simmer.

COUNCIL UP
AGAINST
SNAC
Meets Strenuous Oppos .
itiOn in Its Move to
Kill the Public
narket
TWO THOUSAND ANGRY CITI-
ZENS SIGN PETITION TO
SAVE IT-MATTER TO BE
FOUGHT OUT WEDNESDAY,
NIGHT.

Hostility at the city hall has
succeeded in driving most of the
farmers away from the public
market temporarily, at least, but
big remonstrance with over
1000 names on it, and still grow
ing, lays on a box up at the mar
ket place, voicing the protest of
the people and their disgust at
the city officials for their med
ding with the institution.
The stalls were all full Satur-
day but Marketmaster Martenis
was unable to give the men any
assurance of what they would find
today and this morning nearly all
of them remained at home. As
soon as they are assured of re-
spectacle treatment, however, 1t is
stated they will return and bring
their wares to the people.
The comment of the people who
patronize the market as they
signed the remonstrance against
removing the covering of the mar
ket was vigorous and pointed.
Glad to Sign.
"You bet I'll sign; I save a
days wages every time l come
down here" said one man.
well, what do they want to
kill the market for?" inquired a
meek little woman. "It isn't hurt
ing anybody is it?"
Sure, it's hurting the grocers
that want to run the town." ejac-
ulated a man at her elbow, as he
scrawled his name.
Nov, I'd like to know, do these
couneilmen think we are going to
come and stand here in the rain
and sun to buy our garden truck !?
Well, we just won't" snapped a
woman with a baby ON one arm
and basket on the other, as she
laid down the basket to write her
name.
Women Boost the Fight.
Hundreds of the names on the
petitions belong to women. They
represented all classes. Most of
them were enthusiastic and ap-
parently ready for battle If the
council attempts to further inter-
fere with the market.
The petition will be presented
to the council before the meeting
Wednesday night and 1t is ex-
pected there will be steps taken
to have the motion by Bell to re-
move the sheds, adopted last
week., reconsidered.
Commissioner McGregor In view
of the attitude Of the mayor in
favor of the market, took no steps
last week to remove it. The fear
of being thrown out bodily, how
ever, kept most of the farmers
away today.
