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.

Subornation of Perjury ,
GRAND JURY RETURNS OTHER INDICTMENTS

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.

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. Otis during the
course of his testimony claimed that a con
tract for the purchase of the site he rcpre >
Bcntcd had been made by Uicboard. .
