They went yelping away to home and free

GRAND JURORS APP sPURTIyE
summon All County Officers Before
Them and Induce Them to
Order Cigars.

The grand jury practically finished its
work last evening and while waiting fon a
witness to conclude the only remaining
case planned and successfully executed a
few practical jokes. Sheriff McCaffery was
instructed to bring in County Auditor Han
nan and to tell him to fetch the records Of
the proceedings Of the Board of County
Supervisors. Hannah took the matter most
seriously and went upstairs into the grand
jury room Juggling a book as big as a barn
door. He was solemnly sworn in the usual
way and asked a number of preliminary
questions. One was IL ne mad bought any
cigars at a popular cigar store since April
l. He admitted he had. Then he was
solemnly asked If he had any of them on
hand and answered with equal seriousness.
that he had not.
well, then, can you get some?" Assist
ant County Attorney Ouren asked. The
Joke soaked through in a few seconds amid
shouts of laughter.
District Court Clerk Harry Brown was
the next victim. Then came Sheriff Mo
Caffery himself. followed by County Treas
urer Mitchell and Auditor Berghausen.
The telephone was handed to each victim
when he admitted he could get some more
cigars and several boxes were immediately
ordered and delivered.
The report that all of the county officers
had been summoned before the grand fury
flashed through the building and there
was suppressed excitement about the time
the newspaper gang invaded it. The grand
jurymen realized they had TO square them
selves In some way with the reporters.
And they did it, Every reporter was Off
cially notified by Sheriff McCaffery to an
pear Immediately before the grand turv
and the gag was worked on each with
artistic perfection. with all of the other
victims shouting their approval at the
critical moment.
