Miss Beu- lah had just entered womanhood and had her life before her, but He who rules over all saw fit to take her to Him, where she will nevermore be weary.

NEARLY 300 INDICTED. Grand Jury Finished its Work Last Night. Ugly
 Conditions.

The Grand Jury of the present Monroe County Circuit court finished it's work and adjourned yesterday after finding 95 true bills in which nearly 300 people were indicted.
 The Grand Jury was composed of representative citizens and business men and while their work was large they didn't go into the minor affairs as they could have done, if inclined to curry with a fine tooth comb, so to speak.
 The fragrant violations of law thro' out the county are appall- ing and are such as to startle as will be judged from the number indicted, whiskey selling, drunk enness, gambling are the very common offenses.

baseball fans went to the hotel OF

Then the chief of police was notified
Of the situation and the fans were
dispersed by a company of armed
rurales.
O'Brien came here with the Phila-

every game from the Havana team.
Yesterday the Cubans had chance
to win, but were beaten by two close
decisions by O'Brien. This morning a
newspaper suggested lynching as the
proper penalty for the umpire. and
fans decided to act.

Pointed rumors followed the four

Judge Kahle, counsel for the gun
men, denied tonight that there was
any such plan in contemplation. Dis
trict Attorney Whitman, however,
made this significant statement:
II will neither affirm nor deny the
story. l cannot talk about 1t at ALL ]"
There have been rumors before that

mise with justice. Long, reflective
days In the Tombs. coupled with the

are losing their confidence in each
