Amusing Incident Accredited To Grand Jury Investigation.

Things that happen in the grand jury are intended to be secret and prosecuting attorney, jurymen and witnesses are alike sworn to secrecy. A witness is not allowed to tell to any person, any question asked of him nor the answer that he returns. Sometimes, somehow, someone leaks and the following dialogue is said to have taken place in an investigation about liquor sales: Prosecutor: “Do you drink any whiskey?” Witness: “I do when I want it.” Prosecutor: “Where do you get it?” Witness: “Oh, I can get it any place, I’m a cash customer.” The answer almost broke up the meeting and it was with difllculty that the jurymen maintained the dignity that is presumed to belong to that body.

Kentland Enterprise Feels Very Doubtful About Interurban Road.

In closing an article about the in-terurban.-election in Jackson tpwnship, the Kentland Enterprise says: Trustee Stucker was in Kentland Monday making returns of the election, and expressed great confidence that the road would be built. He also threw out a ray of hope that the road might branch off this way. The original profile shows a connecting line commencing at Rensselaer and running through Mt. Ayr, Brook, Kentland and on to Danville. Such a line would certainly be welcomed by these towns, but—the weather Is damp, we are threatened with grip, and feel grouchy and pessimistic.
