While the county jail bonds have not
yet been sold, the county authorities
are making plans for the eregtion of the
structure snd as soon as the money la
available, will advertise for bids.
Owing to one or two alight changeo
which were necessary, the bonds have

at an early date. The rate of Interest
on the bonds will be four end one-half
per cent, Instead of four per cent as
originally planned. This will render
the bonds more marketable.
We have decided to erect a three-
story building,’’ said County Judge
Yeager today, "the jail will have for-
ty-four cells and will be modern in
every respect. Among its features will
be a comfortable sleeping accommoda-

be made use of, cutting down the ex-

economizing the county can build a
jail that will be as much s credit to
the county as it is possible for any
jail to be. The jail will probably be
located in the northwestern corner of
the court house yard.

, „ The court held that as the paper
was published at Indianapolis, any

was necessarily committed in Indian-
v spoils, and not at any place where
L - the paper might circulate.
J * "To my mind," said Judge Ander-
son, "that man has read the history
of oor institutions very little who
does not view with apprehension the
success of such a proceeding as this.
If the history of liberty means any*
thing, if the constitution means any-
thing, then the prosecuting authority
should not have the power to select
the tribunal— if there be more than
one to select from—at the capital of
the nation, nor should the government
have the power to drag citizens from
distant states there for trial.
"The defendants will be discharg-
ed."
