Sensation Due in Lake AS a Result of Grand Jury Probe.

Prominent Lake county men, including several leading politicians, are said to be quaking in their shoes, as a result of a grand jury probe recently. More than 160 indictments, most of which are for violations of the laws against vice, were returned by the jury, and many prominent men are named. Arrests that will follow are expected to cause a sensation. Gambling, operating houses of ill fame, slot machines and other offensive practices form the basis for the indictments.
