From the reports inado at the meeting yesterday afternoon of the Council Bluffs Grape Growers' Shipping asooclatlon It appears that the damage to the vines this winter was not as great BR had been sup posed. While the new vines suffered to qulto an extent , the older ones stood the rigor of the winter In good ahape. Where the vineyards are sheltered from the north winds the vines are In first-class condition and are now commencing to sprout , some of them showing sprouts eight Inches long. The young vines nro backward , many of them not having yet oven commenced to break. The estimate Is made that the loss to old vines will not exceed 1 per cent , whllo the new vineyards are damaged 25 per cent. The prospects at present for the season's crop of grapes are , lion over , ex cellent. Last year the crop only averaged about 60 per cent , the vines not having fully recovered from the drought of two years before. This year reports Indicate that there will bo 75 per cent of a ciop. Peach treea are -practically dead and the crop of this fruit will bo a complete fail ure In this vicinity. Small fruits , however , promise well , Raspberries Indicate a 73 per cent crop , blackberries a CO per cent crop , whllo currants are expected to yield a full crop. Plum and cherry trees are in excellent condition and are expected to produce full crops. The prospects for a good yield of apples are also at present bright. The meeting , which -was presided over by Samuel Avcry , was well attended. The association has leased the premises at 12S Broadway if or the season and Gcorgo Ailing- ham will continue as manager.

Cowan is Charged with the Crims of Subornation of Perjury , GRAND JURY RETURNS OTHER INDICTMENTS Sinnll Wfinilrn .Jnll ill Ariiln I * t'on- ilvinnril UK Lninitlliir ) mill n DIUI- N rirctrnp In Which 1o ConIIno I'rlnoncrii. In the batch of Indictments reported yes terday afternoon by the district court grnnl Jury was one against W. P. Cowan , a young attorney of Omaha , on the charge of sub ornation of perjury. The Indictment Is a sequel to the trial In the district court hero at the January term of Tracy. Lawrence and Wyatt for breaking into a school house in Lewis township , and also for breaking Into Farmer Lorncz's hen toops and steal ing upwards ot 100 of his chickens and turkeys. Cowan defended the three men. Both offenses occurred on the night of Janu ary 31 of this year. The men were arrested next morning with the stolen chickens In their possession as they crossed the motor bridge Into Omaha. Tracy and Lawrence on trial were found guilty ot stealing the chickens and pleaded guilty to breaking Into the school house. They are both serving sentences In the penitentiary. Wyatt de manded a separate 'trial ' and got off with six months' In the county Jail , where he now is. During the trial ono of the witnesses. Robert Johnson , a joung man living In Carson , testified that on the night the three prisoners were charged with stealing Lorcnz's chickens they stopped at his livery barn , where they put up their wagon and team , and that they did not leave there until 3 o'clock the next morning. His tes timony was given a black eye when Law rence and Tracy pleaded guilty to breaking Into the Lewis school house. The matter was brought before the grand Juty nt the opening of the present term and Johnson was Indicted for perjury , and Is now await ing trial. In the Indictment It is charged that Cowan procured joung Johnson to tes tify falsely , and that a few days before the trial went to Carson , where he made arrangements with Johnson to appear as a witness. Johnson , during his cross-ex amination , testified that he had never met Cowan until ho did so In the court room. It is further charged that Cowan was aware that Johnson was testifying falsely and that the perjured testimony was given at his ( Cowan's ) solicitation and Instruction. Other Indictment * . William Lewis was Indicted for stabbing G. W. Hayes on the evening of April 12 during a drunken brawl In front of a saloon on Broadway. Lewis' ball was fixed at $2,500 , but Judge Smith reduced it to $800 , In which amount Lewis furnished a bond. An Indictment was also returned against Frank Henderson on the charge of attempt ing to shoot Perry Lavcnburg. Henderson Is in custody nt the county Jail , having been unable to furnish ball. A number of other Indictments were re ported , but owing to the defendants not being In custody , they were not made public. The Jury failed to find true < bllls In the cases of Charles Carpenter , the nursery stock salesman , alleged to have forged or ders on which he drew his commission ; Arthur Palmer , a young lad charged with burglary ; C. E. Bird , charged with the burglary of Charles Bishop's residence , and Fred Larouche , charged with stealing a" set ot harness belonging to William Morchouso of Garner township. The grand jury reported that the c n- dltlon of the county Jail was good , but said that the partitions and floor of the upper story of the city Jail were In a very bad condition. The Jury also made a lengthy report condemning the small wooden jail at Neola. The report says it is in a poor sanitary condition , that the provisions for heating are such as to render It unsafe when fire has to bo kept while prisoners are con fined therein , and that It Is otherwise bo exposed to danger of fire from without as to be a hazardous place In which to keep prisoners. In the event of a flre there would bs extreme difficulty In rescuing the prisoners. The jury falls to make any recommendation , but It Is understood the town of Neola Is prepa.ed to erect a new building. A Ill-Red MUooniluct of Juror * . In an affidavit accompanying the motion filed yesterday In the district court for a new trial of the damage suit of Charles Smith against Lars Jensen , justice of the peace for Boomer township , in which a verdict for the defendant was given a fo.v . days ago , charges of misconduct on the part of some of the Jurors are made. The aflldavlt Is that of John P. Organ , attorney for Smith. Ho alleges that ono Juror was approached by a resident of this city for the purpose of Influencing hU action and that another Juror who , before being permitted to take his eat in the box , said his acquaintance with Jensen would not In any way influence him in finding a verdict- talked frequently during the trial with other members of the Jury about Jensen's good character and fairness. Organ further alleges that a third Juroi explained hi ! vote for the verdict by declaring that Jensen was a forolgncr not well acquainted with the laws of this country and that ho did not know better than to act as he did , as ho only had two cases on an average before him In a year. The names of the Jurors complained of arc not made public by At torney Organ on the grounds that to do s at this time might prevent the ends of justice. Smith sued for $ G,000 for alleged falua ar rest and Imprisonment by Jensen , claiming mallco on the part of the Boomer justice , Smith , after his arrest and committal to Jail for thirty days , secured his release by a writ of habeas corpus.

Ho made retri bution , paying Hartwell in full the value of the animal before the Indictment was ic- turned. Hartwell filed a motion with the court asking that the prosecution bo dropped , but the county attorney declined to entertain it. Anna C , Hannlbalsen filed original notice ot suit against George M. Sessions for $2,000 damages for personal Injuries alleged to Imvo been Inflicted upon her by the defendant May 31 of last year. The trouble between the parties is bald to have originated in a neigh- boiliood row. The suit against the Union Pacific for the death of John C. Colcman , a fireman killed In a wreck at Sunol sidetrack January 13 last , commenced by John Freytag , admin istrator of the dead man's estate , In the dis trict court , has been settled.

The econd day of the h nrlnc ; of the school-silo appeal ease before Superintendent Snwjer did not develop any sensational test imony. The attorneys of T. L. Smith , the appellant , appear to be directing their cntlro energies In the attempt to prove that the Oakland nvcnuo tract Is not suitable as slto for the new High scliool building on ac count ot It not being the exact geographical center of the echool dUtrlcl. Members Henry , Hess , Cooper and Moore of thp school board were placed on the stand by thu appellant In order to secure from them their opinions In this respect. D. W. Otis , agent for the "Street" cite , when placed on the witness stand , produced a colored model of the site lie represented , phoning how It could bo graded and terraced for a Illgn school building. Accompanying the mode : was n small box which he said represented the sire of the building.
