GRAND JURY MEETS;
AGAIN ADJOURNED
States Attorney Drafting Indict-

CATION.

The grand jury met this afternoon.
but was in session only about an hour
before adjournment was made. The
body will meet again next Tuesday,
and in the interim States Attorney l..
NJ. Magill says he will be kept busy
drawing indictments in the fraternal
insurance scandal. Who the indict-
ments will be directed against is not
announced, but the states attorney
says that there will be large number
Of bills and that they will cover con-
siderable ground. There were no wit
nesses on the stand today in the fra
ternal inquiry, and It is believed that
the investigation is, about over. In
this case all there remains to do is to
draw the indictments and report them
to the circuit court.

Olivia's lips settled dangerously as
she scratched the familiar address
across the envelope in defiant charac-

delay in getting her scathing reply to
its destination, she rang for Geralds,
the butler, and dispatched him at

But scarcely had he disappeared

came to olivia that he m ght think
she was jealous. With flaming cheeks
she caught up her hat and hurried

She intercepted him with his foot

TWO ARE SENT TO
THE PENITENTlARY
Jerry Richtmeyer and Frank Frank
lin Convicted of Burglary Go
to Joliet.

Jerry Richtmeyer and Frank Frank
lin, found guilty of burglary by a jury
in the circuit court, were sentenced
to the penitentiary at Joliet today by
Judge W. H. Gest. E. w. Schoede
and d. W.. Simonson, attorneys for the
defendants, presented a motion today
to the court in which a new trial was
asked on the grounds that the states
attorney had used improper state
ments in his final plea to the jury and
that the evidence submitted did not
justify the verdict which was brought
back The motion was overruled and
the sentence followed Their terms
in the penitentiary are indeterminate.
Two other sentences were also i'm
posed by the court today. One was
an order committing Arthur Burnwood
to Watertown hospital for the insane
and the other was an order sending
Alonzo Hussey to Jail on the charge
of robbery. The sentence was six
months in jail and a fine of 800 and
costs to be worked out at the rate OF
$3.50 per day. This will keep the man
in prison for about 10 months. Burn
wood is the lad who stole a wheel
lately and who got into so much
trouble prior to that time that it was
decided that his mind was affected.

Instead Of giving the letter TO be

In little while she slept-smiling.
The following morning she was

her to sit up with her clothes on. At
noon she walked downstairs TO lunch

the letter she had just finish d writ

Visit to Place of Otto Ber-

into early this morning and the cash
register taken from the place and rob-
bed. The burglars entered through a
window in the rear by breaking out a
pane Of glass. The rear door was then
unlocked from the inside, and the reg
lister, weighing close to 200 pounds,
was carried out in the alleyway behind
the building. The register was not
locked, as there were only few dollars
of stamp money in it. The cash draw
er was easily opened, but inside'of this
was another drawer which opens only
when certain button is pressed. APP
parently the burglars were not well
posted on the workings of the register
because they were unable to fathom
the opening of this second drawer, and
supposing there was money in it, they
finally broke it open, only to be dis
appointed.
Damage Nominal.
When the bartender opened the sa-
loon this morning he discovered that
the cash register was missing. Later
on it was found in the alley, apparent
ly in dilapidated condition. A care
full examination showed, however, that
the damage to the register will not, ex-
