GOES UP TO THE GRAND JURY Justice Vicn Disposes of the Cnaj of the Alleged Kidnaper , SENDS M'FADDEN ' TO JAIL TO WAIT TRIAL Kvlileneo Siilllelent to Convince the Court There In u MjMlrry In the Hotter Unit .Mioulil lie Cleared I'll. Justice Vlen yesterday held Wll'.lam Mc- Fadden to the grand Jury for his alleged at tempt to abduct Charlie Klscr. In default of bond , McFaddcn was sent to the county jail , where he will bo confined until the grand Jury mcctt In November. In holding the prisoner to the grand Jury the court took occasion to s > ay that ho was satisfied that there was a deep mystery connected with the case that should bo solved ; that If the prisoner was Innocent of any wrong Inten tion It waa the duty of the court to hold him until ho could prove It for his own protection and to make It certain that he should be punished It he was guilty , Charlie KUer waj the chief witness for the state. He went on the stand and told a bttMlght and wo'.l connected story. Ho said that ho was only 12 years old , He de tailed the Incidents connected with the meet ing of the man at the barn and the assertion of McFadden that Charlie had .unco be friended him while he was going through the country as a hungry tramp. The boy said he told McFadden tint he was mistaken , that he had never seen him before and that ho had no recollection of having given anything to a tramp last summer. Ho fald the man had Just altered him 10 cents to go with htm and while the parley was going on his mother and aunt came out and the man went Qway , after telling them that Charlie had worked for him one day last summer and that he wanted to pay him and also wanted him to work for him again. The visit of the man to the school house was detailed and the proffer of $25 to the child to entice him away described. The boy said the man pulled out a roll of bills from his overalls pocket and held out the money to him , toll ing that ho might have It all for his own use If ho would go to Omaha with him. The child also swore that the man told him If he would go over the river they would get all of the beer they could drink and have a good time. When he again declined the man became abusive nnd threatened him ; told him that * ho would bo sorry If he did not go and If he refused to go he would be made to go. The little fellow stuck to his story through a long and severe cross-examlnj- lion. lion.Mrs. . Kate Klscr , foster mother of the boy , was the next witness. She stated that the hey was the child of the twin sister of her late husband , and that his mother had died when the baby was G months old. The boy has been cared for ever since by herself and husband. She spoke of the visits of McPad- den to the house and said she had concealed herself In the barn and heard part of the conversation and heard the Inquiry made about the life Insurance. When she con fronted McFadden and demanded to know his reason for wanting the child to accom pany him , he declared that he had met the boy at Burlington , la. , some time ago and again last summer , when the child worked for him part of an afternoon , and that he wanted him to work for him again. The boy assured him again In her presence that he bad never seen the man. The boy had testi fied that he did rot know where Burlington was and the mother corroborated the Btatc- ment that the boy hid never been away from her slnco he was C months old. The theory of the state was that McFadden was merely one actor In a conspiracy and attempted to get In some rather sensational testimony to sustain the theory , but was shut out. The defense put McFadden himself on the stand. Ho told a rambling story about hav ing been helped by the little CharMq last July and that ho hunted him up olely for the purpose rewarding him. He said he had worked In the harvest fields in South Da kota and had "bummed" his way here on freight tmins. He came to Council Bluffs on Tuesday night and slept In a tarn. He could not recollect the names nor location of any of the places ho had visited In Omaha or Council Bluffs , but ho had no trouble In iccalllng the name and features of little Charlie. He said he found out where the boy lived by making Iniuirles of other boys at the depots. He admitted going to the hoiifio and to the school , but denied that he offered the boy $25.

The friends of William Smith , one of the wealthy and well known farmers living a few miles southeast of Ncola , are very much exercised over his mysterious disappearance. On Monday night he retired at his usual hour after the completion of his work and was soon sleeping souitlly. An hour or so later ho awakened , arose and dressed himself and , bidding his family goodbye , left the house. No tidings have been received from him since. He was apparently In the best of health and his family and friends can as sign no reason for Ills strange disappear ance. Ills friends have been hun'lng through the fields and wooJs under the Impression that ho might have wandered away during a fit of temporary auberallon. but not a trace of him has been found. The ofllccrs hero were notified yesterday and the search is being prosecuted with renewed vigor. It has been learned that ho did not take any of the railway tralni and did not leave the country on horseback. Siieelul Snle.

Tlui old McKlnley guard was reorganized ht night , or rather had Its first meeting tn the campaign of this fall. The meeting was held at the largo storeroom at 40" Broadway , and was attended by all of the old members and many others , who desired to Identify themselves with the republican cam paign In this manner. The meeting was called for the annual election 'i olHccrs , for the guird la a permanent organization and lias not disbanded blnce the conclusion of tlie campaign last fall. The election resulted In the cholco of F. M Compton cap'aln , B K. Cook first lieutenant. J. W. Fcrrler i-ec- end lieutenant and Fred Grout sscrotary. Af ter the election was over the guard did some fine drill work In the hall and arranged for a street drill on next Monday nlglit. The guard will be one of the features at the Dolllver meeting on the 27th lust. The work of the guard last fall was of ouch a character that It gave the organization a elate reputation , und It IB fair to presume that .1 will cut considerable of a figure In the remainder of the campaign this year.

Alien : Tiia JiTTiroT 'MIIAMUS. . .Inline Mney llenr * the Demoerntle TnwnNlilp rtinillilntei' I'lnis , The application for a writ of mandamus to comp l County Auditor Matthews to place and 1'aul Aybs- the names of L. Swearcngcn worth , democratic nominees for Justice of the peace and township trustee , on the official ballot , was argued before Judge Mncy In the dUtrlct court yesterday afternoon. S. a. Wadswcrth presented the case for the can didate ! ! and County Attoiiiey Saunders tcr the auditor. The arguments consumed a good portion of the afternoon , and at Iho conclusion the court took the case under advisement. As the time Is near when the copy for the tickets must bo given to the printer , It Is probable that the decHlon will bo given this aftcrnson or on Monday at the latest. The whole argument turned on the point whether the law requiring the officers of political conventions to co'tlfy to the county auditor the names of the candidates not later than twenty Oays before the election IE mandatory or directory. The democrats and the attorney for the candidates contend that It Is not mandatory , but Is rjlalnly directory , and that the word "shall" In the section has the same meaning and should have the same Interpretation as "may" In other sec- Lions. No question of fact was raised In the answer filed yesterday morning by County Attorney Saundcrs , and the case was submitted to the court upon the uncontra- dlctcd statement that the failure to certify the names within the prescribed time was due solely to the neglect and oversight of the parties In Interest. In his argument Attorney Wadsworth maintained that It was the Intent of the law-make's to frame a law- thai would give candidates an equal chance , and that It was not the Intent to shut out one set of candidates because some of tho. officers of the convention that nominated them neglected their duty and were three days late In complying with the letter of , the law. Ho claimed that the tender of the certificates promptly after the oversight was discovered was a compliance with the spirit of the law. Ho called attention to the fact that the copy for the ttskct had not been prepared and that no delay or annoyance of any character had been occasioned the auditor , and , In short , that only a technical oversight and no Intentional disregard of the provisions of the law could bo shown. County Attorney Saundcrs Insisted In his argument that the law was mandatory and not directory , and that neither the auditor nor the court had any ooweto modify or place any construction upon the section that would permit the acceptance of the certifi cates of candidates even If they were one day late. He showed the court that the attorney general and the secretary of state had so held , and that their ruling should govern the present case. The general ( sentiment Is strongly In favor of permitting the names of the candidates to bo placed upon the ticket if Its act could be legally done. No one was more willing to do this than Auditor Matthews , nnd ho would have done so at the start If the law had not plainly forbade him. If the writ Is denied , there are several other methods that can bo used to secure the object sought , and the candidates feel pretty safe In pre dicting that they will be voted for on No vember 2.
