You Ought To Buy Fast S* SHOE "C0L ha« cutat°t depV- Second Gui Jury Is Set Aside. Judge Church Decides Technicalities of Law Were Not Observed. Motion of Defense in Hassarv Conceded by State. New Panel Ordered At Once, Supervisors Will be Summoned at Once to Make New Drawing.—Tech nicalities Must Be Strictly Observed. The second grand jury drawn for 1907 was set aside yesterday by Judge Z. A. Church and a new drawing was ordered immediately, in which all the technicalities of the law are to be strictly observed. This sensational denouement took place through a motion by Conner & Lally, attorneys for the defense in the Hassan case, to set aside the panel on account of numerous irregularities in the drawing. Examination of grand jurors and of county officers developed further facts, and finally the state joined in the request that the grand jurors be dismissed and a new drawing made. In making his ruling, Judge Church ordered the officers to proceed at once and to use extreme care that all the provisions of the law are complied with. The objections were raised as to the manner of drawing, the certification, filing of papers, summoning of jurors, etc. 'It was also found that one grand juror was not on the poll list at the last election, while still another was summoned under the name of Hannes Lorenzen, whereas his name was Johannes. While the violations were minor ones, the aggregate was sufficient to convince the state that the part of wisdom was to agree to the motion, Steps will immediately be taken to secure the new jury. The grand jurors who were sum moned and sent home were as follows: Peter Atzen, Hanover Adolph Rosburg, Soldier C. H. White, Stockholm Thos. Buton, Sr., West Side Hannes Lorenzen, Morgan Henry Jochimsen, Nishnabotny Fritz Brandenberg, East Boyer H. H. Derner, Iowa Geo. Schelm, Charter Oak W. W. Clark, Boyer Natio Wingrove, Washington P.
