RETURNS FIVE INDICTMENTS
Grand Jury Presents Its First Report for the
Current Term.
TWO BILLS FOUND AGAINST GREGORY
Chnmcil ! Tlth Stealing n Mule nml
AnHiiultliiir with Intent to Kill
YOUIIK 1'ctcr I'ctcrNtm Sent
to the Penitentiary.
The district court grand jury reassembled
yesterday afternoon , after a Veek's ad
journment , and presented Its first report for
the term , returning five Indictments and
three "no bills , "
Two of the Indictments were against J. A.
Gregory , the horeethlef who on October 24
last , when placed ui.dcr arrest at a grading
camp at Loveland , shot and seriously In
jured Constable Moss of Rockford township
and was only captured after a long chase by
Officer Albro , since appointed chief of police ,
and Patrol Driver Harry James. Neither of
the Indictments , contrary to general expecta
tion , is for shooting Moss. The first Is on
the charge of assaulting with Intent to
murder Officer Albro and the second Is on
the charge of stealing a mule , the property
of E. D. Laughlln of Ashland , Neb. , valued
at $125.
In returning these Indictments the grand
jury calls the attention of the court to the
fact that previous to the commission of the
crimes with which ho now stands charged ,
Gregory had been three times convicted In
this state of the crime of larceny and had'
served penitentiary sentences each time.
The first time ho was convicted at Logan ,
Harrison county , on September 7 , 188G ; the
second at Jefferson , Greene county , on Oc
tober 22 , 1891 , and the third and last time
nt Greenfield , Adalr county , on April 1.
1895.
1895.Two
Two Indictments were returned against
Peter Peterson , a 17-year-old farm hand.
The first charged him with assaulting Mary
Langhclne , a young girl under 15 years of
age , with intent to commit rape , nml the
second with breaking Into Robert Coon's
house in Neola township. Peterson was
anxious to have his case disposed of as soon
as possible , so he was taken before Judge
Green. Ho pleaded guilty to both charges
and the court sentenced him to eighteen
months in the penitentiary on the assault
charge and six months for breaking Into
Coon's house. The court read the prisoner
a lecture and told him that but for his ago
the sentence on the first charge would have
been , much heavier.
The fifth Indictment was against Jeff
Huston , who was charged with stealing
wearing apparel belonging to John Veenker
from the Atlantic house on South Main
street.
The "no bills" returned were In the cases
of Morris Flahlve , Frank Allen and Theo
dore Campbell. Flablve was charged by
his neighbor , T. H. Rowbotham of 1216 South
Sixth street , with tearing down a boundary
fence and erecting another In Its place.
Allen Is the man committed from Rockford
township on the charge1 of breaking' ' Into a
school bouse and the residence of Joseph
Gllmore , who has since shown signs of In
sanity and was yesterday committed to St.
Bernard's hospital by the insanity commis
sioners. Campbell was charged with high
way robbery , It being alleged that he held
up and robbed Herold Horton of $4 on the
highway near Loveland on the evening of
October 21 last.
After presenting Us report the grand jury
resumed its deliberations.

HAS BIG SUIT OX HIS HANDS.
ThaildcnH J. Foley Mixed Up 111 n
Cherry Connty , Nehrnttlcn , Denl.
Thaddous J. Foley , president and general
manager of the Peru Plow and Implement
company , has another large milt In the dis
trict court on his hands In connection with
the settlement of the estate of his late part
ner , John M. Enlow of Cherry county , Ne
braska. The plaintiffs in this suit are A.
H. Davis , an attorney of North Platte , nnd
Jacob Sims , an attorney of this city. Davis
and Sims were employed by the heirs of
Enlow last August to bring a suit in the
district court here for $60,000 against Foley
on the grounds of alleged misrepresentation
by him when settling his partner's estate.
The plaintiffs claim In their petition that at' '
the time suit was commenced on behalf ,
of the heirs an agreement was entered Into
between thorn that they , the attorneys , wore
to receive half of whatever amount should
bo recovered as a result of the action ,
whether by compromise or Judgment , nnd
that Foley was duly notified of such ar
rangement.
Subsequently Foley compromised with six
of the heirs , paying them , as It was alleged
In the stipulation of settlement , $100 apleco. !
In their petition Davis and Sims allege j
that they nro advised that the actual amount
paid by Foley to their former clients was
largely In excess of $100 , but what the actual
amount was they have no means of ascer j
taining. As they are unable to collect their
share from their clients they bring suit
against Foley for $1,000.
They also ask the court to give them
Judgment against Foley for $5,000 , alleging
that nt the tlmo of the compromise made by
Foley with their clients , he agreed orally
to pay them ( Davis and Sims ) their reason
able attorney fees as part consideration
for the dismissal of the suits.

TRYING TO CURE LAZINESS
Governor I.onry I'rcNcrllicn for n
Chronic Cn.ie in Inland
of Giiniu.
NEW YORK , Nov. 21. A special to the
Tribune from Washington says : Governor
Leary of Guam , or "the Isle of Guam , " as it
is called on the official seal , Is having novel
experiences for nn American In nn altogether
unique community , but the infrequency of
communication with the outside world per
mils little Information to reach Washington
regarding this innovation In colonial estab
lishmcnts.
Governor Leary was always n plcturesqu
character in the service and his mission In
the lonely and scarcely known Island was
regarded by those who knew him as sin
gulnrly appropriate. It was expected tlia
nn Interesting experiment -civillzntlon
would begin when he assumed absolute con
trol of the new poseeeulon , and so It has
turned out , nlthough the Navy departmcn
for some reason has refrained from permit
ting the dctnils of his reports to get into
circulation. That these reports are highly
interesting and in some instances wholly
unconventional la evident from portions o
ono which has Juet como to Washington. In
this Governor Leary Inclosed two of his re
cent orders to the citizens of tbo Isle o
Guam which are unlike any other orders
ever issued by a naval officer.
The report , which is dated October 11
gives a terse resume of affairs In the cap
tain's dominion since the lost mail. It
shows thnt the islnnders nre Inordinately
Inzy , having acquired the habits ot their an
cestors of raising only such crops ns will
keep their bodies and souls together nn.l
thnt they cnnnot be easily induced to vnluo
money or exercise their earning power. With
n minimum of exertion they are satisfied if
they do not starve. The whole Island is full
of examples of neglected opportunities which
are so distasteful to Americans.
The governor has fact out to bring the
paople of Gunm to a realization of the nat
ural wealth of the island nnd to make all
under his Jurisdiction ns productive aa po.1-
ble. He tells the Navy department that
ho docs not want any more marines sent to
him , as ho cnnnot provide food for them
nnd docs not need them for his defense , ns
he has nothing to fear from the natives. He
begs , however , for more officers to nsalst
him in carrying out his plans for Improving
the condition of the population.
Ho says he wants an ice machine , none
of the water on the Islnnd being potable to
the people. Ho has established the seat
of government at Agann , six miles from Port
Louis d'Apra , and over this dlstnnce hln men
have had to haul All the materials for the
buildings they ore erecting , ns well ns nil
supplier.
But the interesting part of the report re
lates to tbo reforms begun , of which the
governor says ;
"Having disposed of the priests , rapid
progress will bo made and no further re
sistance will be encountered , "
He explained the two orders which were
printed In English In the customary fvirm
on the first English printing prefs In the
Islands and distributed broadcast. The first
of these Is calculated to compel each adult
natlvo to contribute to the support of the
government by engaging In food production ,
This order wns dnted October 1 and directs
THOSE WRETCHED FORKING HOURS.

Next to
nil
all who have no trade to plant cereals , vege
tables , etc. , under more or less severe penal
ties. It is stipulated that each citizen shall
have nt least twelve hens nnd ono sow and
continue in possession of them Indefinitely.
They must bring eggs , chickens and vegeta
bles to sell to the governor's house and to
the barracks at stated Intervals , nnd they
must pay their taxes and discharge other In
debtedness.
The other order. Issued September 15 , was
more radical. It demands that concubinage ,
which wns general all over the Island , shall
stop Immediately. In this order Governor
Leary moralizes as follows to the natives :
"The existing 'custom , of raising families
of Illegitimate children Is repulsive to ideas
of decency , antagonistic to moral advance
ment. Incompatible with the generally recog
nized customs of civilized society , a violation
of the accepted principles of Christianity
and a most degrading injustice to the Inno
cent offspring , who Is not responsible for
the conditions of his unfortunate existence. "
The governor , in conclusion , commands
immediate wedlock for the whole adult ; pop
ulation and made the license and civil cere
mony free until November 3. As a result
the officers In charge of licenses and mar
riages were worked half to death until nearly
everybody on the Island was legnlly mar
ried. There was n rush to obey the order ,
nnd , In fact , the people have shown a dis
position to be obedient to any suggestion
from their governor.
