EIGHT INDICTMENTS RETURNED

By Brand Jury Which Adjourned Saturday Afternoon. NO ARRESTS YET BEEN MADE And the Charges On Indictments Has Not Been Made Public— Prosecutor Files One Affidavit Which Is Believed to Deal With Bridge Graft—Probably Some Liquor Indictments.

The grand jury adjourned Saturday after having been in session four days. t Eight indictments were returned, although for what offenses is not made public -at this writing because no arrests have been made on the warrants. It is believed these are for minor offenses, however, Some for violation of the liquor laws, etc.' Prosecutor Longwell came over Saturday and filed one affidavit. It is believed this has to do with the bridge graft proposition, as it was not generally thought that some- members of the grand jury were very eager to do anything along that line. Whatever was done in that respect will likely be made known in a few days, as the warrants, if any, can be served at most any time. It is believed that considerable . evidence of bridge graft wenLbefore.the grand jury, and with the strong charge made by Judge Hanley, to that body along graft lines, it would seem that some indictments should have been returned.
