TEN TRUE BILLS BY GRAND JURY

James L.'Willis Indieted for Rape and Warrants Issued for the Arrest of Others. The grand jury was in session Monday and Tuesday and the result of its work is told in ten true bills filed with the clerk of the court, Judson H. Perkins. While these indictments are kept secret until the warrants have been served by the sheriff it is reliably given out that one indictment is against James L. Willis, charging him with rape. This is a proceeding taken in all cases originating in-the justice courts. As soon as the warrants are placed in the hands of the sheriff the arrests will he made and a bond required by the circuit court. One indictment is against Claud Sigler, who was bound over to the circuit court last June following his arrest on the charge of having broken into Fred Phillips’ residence on May 30th. Sigler was in jail for some time, being finally released on SIOO cash hail furnished by his brother, Ross Sigler, of Tulsa, Okla. He is said to he at Thayer now. The persons named in the other indictments are unknown, as are the natures of the cases against them.
