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.

Today Secretary of Stnto OCOTKO L. Dob-
son notified nil oil Inspectors In the state
that they must collect the regular Inspection
fee on avery gallon nf oil shipped Into the
state. "Wholesale evading of payment of fees
by the Standard Oil company , the Penny
Refining company nnd other companies hns
been discovered by Mr. Dobson. The rule
Is made to put an end to It.
Mr. Dobson says the payment of the feet
hns been evaded In the Mississippi river
towns of the state. The companies have for
some ycnrs uhlpped largo quantities of oil
Into the river cities nnd distributed It In the
Interior of tlio state from tlioso points. The
oil Is Inspected there and the fees are sup
posed to bo paid on oil coming Into the
state. But much of the oil is released nnd
shipped buck to other states. The oil In-
npectors have not charged the tnspoctlon fees
on this released oil. Secretary Dobson s'ays
that he 1ms learned that the companies take
this released oil Into other states and there
avoid paying fees on thb ground that the
fees have been paid In lown.
