NINE INDICTMENTS

Grand Jury Finish Labors and Adjourn. THE McCOYS AGAIN TOUCHED UP, It I* Rumored, With Eight Indictments. —Another Indictment Is For Attempt to Kill. The grand jury adjourned Wednesday after returning nine indictments and visiting the poor farm and jail. Prosecuting Attorney Graves, and E. B. Sellers of Monticello, had the grand jury in hand Monday afternoon and all of Tuesday. Wednesday morning that body visited the poor farm and jail and adjourned for the term. While no arrests have been made at this writing it is generally understood that eight of the indictments are against the McCoys, charging embezzelment, and perhaps Borne are against Rinehart, A. McCoy’s son-in-law, for the disappearance of certain papers and notes supposed to have been in the McCoy bank when he took charge as receiver and which have since been missing.

The state case filed against Jasper Guy o! Remington for the shooting of William Kenyon several months ago, has been dismissed by the prosecutor, and it is reported the ninth indictment, charging attempt to kill, is against him. The arrests will probably all be made and the parties will be in court this morning, when the exact charges and the names of those whom they are against will be made public. - Following is the report of the grand jury regarding the poor farm and jail: “The Grand Jurors now report to the Court that they have visited the County Jail as provided by law, that they find the interior oi the building and the appliances in good repair and in good sanitary condition. They further find that the cistern adjacent to the jail building and situated between that building and power house, is in an unsafe and dangerour condition in that the roof is weak and near the surface of the ground, and it is necessar, for teamsters to haul heavy loads of coal over the roof thereof, and the grand jurors recommend that the same be made safe and sufficiently strong to carry any load which is necessarv to have over it. “We further report that we have visitted the county infirmary and farm, and we find the buildings thereon and the general condition to be satisfactory, other than that certain of the buildings are in need of paint and small repairs, which we are informed have been provided for, and having finished our labors we now tender this our final report, and ask to be discharged. “Ml of which is respectfully submitted, Alfred S. Barlow, Foreman.” Of the regular court business but little has been done except in probate matters and setting cases for trial. The petit jury is called for Monday and the next three weeks of the term will be busy ones. .Judge Hanley adjourned court Thursday and attended the state fair, taking up business again yesterday. . .
