Owing to thcro being no cases ready for < trlal , Judge Thornsll yesterday adjourned district court until Monday , February 33. The grand Jury also dccMed to take n. rest until the eamc date. Before adjourning , the grand Jury made a. further report returning several Indict ments and oneno bill. Hut one Indictment was made public , the defendants In the oth ers not being under arrest. The Indictment made public was against Charles Drawer , who was charged with larceny from a build ing in the daytime , llrowor was arrested November 30 last , charged with stealing a watch and other articles from It , P. Nel son's blacksmith shop oil Droadway. The watch was never found , but a wrench be longing to Nelson was fouud on Brewer. He has been in the county Jnll ever since and when the indictment was returned he de cided lo plead guilty and In consideration of the fact that ho had already served seventy days , Judge Thornell lot him off with n thirty-day sentence. The "no bill" returned nas In the case of Charles Llrooks , who was charged with con spiring with John Lowls In the famous hog stealing case. John Lewis was sentenced at the December term of court to one year Jin the penitentiary for stealing bogs , the prop erty of Nelson Lents of Lewis township. Brooks Is the man who acted as the "stool pigeon" for the sheriff and was arrested after Lewis' conviction on an Information filed by the letter's wife , who claimed at the time that If her husband bad be n guilty of conspiracy ho must have had some one to conspire with and that that bomeone was Brooks. T. J. Ryan , Indicted on the charge of [ Etoallng two bolts ot cloth from Simon John son's tailor shop , entered a plea of guilty and Judge Thornell sentenced htm to eight een months In the penitentiary nt Fort Mad ison. This was more than Hyan had expected and he told the court so. Judge Thornell was inclined to be lenient so no knocked three months off the sentence , leaving it fifteen , which seemed to satisfy Ryan as ho made no further comment. The court Issued an attachment on the person ot James Swanson , who bad failed to appear for examination as to his property. A few days ago Hans Malta secured an attachment against Swanson for $100 which foiled ot satisfaction. Swanson was ordered to appear before the court for examination on January 31 , but failed to do so. Then the court made an order that ho appear last Friday before Commissioner D. E. Stuart and again he failed to obey. The warrant for his arrest yesterday was the result. Mrs. Gertie C. Smith was granted a di vorce by default from W. A. Smith.
