The six men were placed under ar.
rest yesterday by Sheriff Terrill
most of them at their homes. The
sheriff was equipped with a blank
bail bond, which had been previously
fixed by the circuit court at $4,000.
In each case these were filled out
before the nearest notary public, and
the accused notified to appear in the
circuit court for arraignment at 10
O'Clock this morning.
They were on hand, with their at
torneys, at the appointed hour, and
Judge Calkins gave them two weeks
in which to file demurrers, and un-
til circuit court opens the first of
September, in which to enter their
pleas. The bail bonds in each case
was renewed.
District Attorney RAVES Moore
was resent to represent the state
and the defendants were represented
by G. A Codding and H. A. Canaday.
When court was called to order
this morning by Judge Calkins for
the arraignment of the defendants.
there was only eight or ten persons
present, in addition to the regular
attendance of Is or more attorneys.
]. A. Norris was formerly ianitor
of the court house at Jacksonville
for six or eight years, but has been
out of that place for the last three
years, and has been engaged in
gardening since.
Ed Goodie was formerly an Ash
land man, but has been operating a
garage in Jacksonville for some
time past.
B. L. Moses is the present janitor

automobile dealer of Medlord.
Howard Hill is an orchardist, llv-
ing at 734 Dakota street, Medford.
There were 16 other indictments
handed up to the court. These, it
was explained by County Clerk Flor
rey this morning, were made with
the fictitious names of John Doe and
Richard Roe, as persons implicated
in the various outrages brought to
the attention of the grand jury, but
whose identity they had been unable
TO establish. On the information,
which the grand jury was able to
secure from witnesses who appeared
before that body, the police and the 6
sheriff are expected to connect up
individuals with the specific crimes t
charged, for submission to the grand 1
jury when it convenes in regular 4
session.
There is more or less mystery con- @
nected with the seventh indictment, Il
the contents of which was not made a
public. Only six arrests ere made, a
and so far as known the court issued v
only six bench warrants, which were 7
served by the sheriff yesterday as Il
stated above. C.
On the streets of Ashland today
there was a persistent rumor that Il
this seventh indictment was against N
Sheriff Terrill, for an offense not in T

spring. On the face of it this does Of
not seem reasonable as the grand Il
Jury, convened for a special pur- il
pose, would not consider any other CT
Eases not directly connected with the st
specific investigation.
Various members of the W. c. T. gi
j. in this city admitted they had ri
leard of rumors to the effect that W
he sheriff had been indicted, but ne
Inew nothing definite. da
The coroner is the only official
to execute a warrant co
.gainst the sheriff. and in a conver- uI
alton over the telephone at noon NJ
oday, he said that he had not heard st
4 any proceeding against the sher- an

laced in his hands for service.
The same was true Of the district sti
ttorneys office. D. Rawles Moore, all
rhen questioned, said that II any
uch indictment had been returned, de
