Sixteen Indictments In All
Turned Out of Mill
SESSION is AT AN Emo
Arrangements Will Be Made in
District Court On Monday
Morning
From Saturdays Daily.


Fourteen more indictments were
returned by the grand jury of the dis
trict court at 1880 this morning.
This make ssiXteen i'll all, during the
four days of the special session. The
work OF that body is completed for
the present, and the jurors were eX-
cused by Judge Comstock.
What charges We're preferred
against whom, in the indictments, with
the exception of charge of disloyal
talk made against Joseph Widman,
have not been disclosed, but it would
not be surprising if quite number
of the defendants should be in court
for arraisnment next Monday morning.
What Might Be.
1t would not be surprising, consid-
ering what the judge said in his
charge, if indictments were found in
connection with the recent doings at
Coed Thunder
When those two men from Webster
City, Iowa, were beaten while drunk
in that village, it would appear from
the story that they told that others
besides themselves were to blame.
The story is current that one of
these two strangers is something of a
prize fighter, and it is said that if he
had been at his best, instead of be-
ing stupefied with liquor, he could
have, cleaned up the whole crowd.
Possibly there are indictments which
charge violation of liquor laws, as a
Lumber OF young men from Mapleton
We're before the grand jury.
While no information is given out
by the members of the jury on the
authorities, it is current rumor that
several parties will face disloyalty
charges.
Sheriff Osten will be kept busy for
a day or two rounding up alleged Of
