ELEVEN INDICTMENTS BY THE GRAND JURY.

Filed In Blank and No Information as Tq Whom They are Against—- ‘ Warrants to the Sheriff. The grand jury adjourned this Saturday afternoon after filing eleven indictments with the court. They are in blank and the nature of them will not become known before the warrants are served. These will be placed in the hands of the sheriff, probably this evening, so that he can do a little scouting about Sunday. The grand jury visited the county farm this forenoon. The Republican has heard a rumor that seven or eight of the eleven indictments are against alleged violators of the liquor laws. One is said to be against John Colton, who is held in jail on a charge preferred by Remington boys. The indictment is said to allege assault and battery and not '‘sodomy. While there are a limited number of indictments, it is alleged that a lot of fellows were badly frightened and they wiil not be entirely self-composed until the last of the warrants are served.
