FEDERAL GRAND JURY INDICTED MARION JACKS.

The federal grand jury was in session at Indianapolis the most of last week and after its hearings returned a number of indictments against the alleged promoters of fake land deals and prize fights, who operated out of Muncie. Among those indicted was Marion Jacks, of Monon. His bond was fixed at $5,000. John Koster, of this place, who was swindled out of SIO,OOO in a fake prize fight pulled off at Logansport March 28, 1918, was one of the important witnesses. It is alleged that Jacks is the man who interested Koster in a land deal, the purpose of which terminated in the prize fight and the loss of the SIO,OOO. —Monon News.
