Will Not Give Bond For Fear of ReArrest. Bloomington, Ind., June 6. Ulysses B. Kellogg, the Brookston man accused of swindling forty residents of this city in a Canadian land scheme, was arraigned before Judge Wilson to-day, where be entered a plea of not guilty to the charge of embezzlement. Robert G. Miller, his attorney, filed a demurrer. which was overruled. The trial is set for next Wednesday. The court continued the bond at $2,000, whicn Kellogg did not try to give, and was remanded back to jail. It was explained that similar charges were pending against him elsewhere, and if he should file bond here he would be immediately rearrested. At the meeting of the committee charged with the duty of prosecuting Kellogg, it was decided to push the original case, and the committee claims to have positive testimony that Kellogg alone is the Northwestern Land Company, which he claims to represent. The prosecutor will not lack for legal assistance in presenting- the case, and it is said that several witnesses will be here to testify that Kellogg has heretofore engaged in questionable practices. Kellogg seems to be in the best of spirits, as if confident of acquittal.
