GRAUD JURY WILL
I HOT GET SUMMONS
:1
prosecutor Ladd Sees No
Reason Why Session
Should Be Called.
ARE NO IMPORTANT CASES
COUNTY INSTITUTIONS ARE BE
LIEVED TO BE IN A SATISFAC
TORY CONDITION AND INVESTI-
- GATION NOT NEEDED.
Prosecutor Ladd has stated that
there is little probability the grand
Jury will be called to meet at the op
ening of the April term of the Wayne
circuit court, the first Monday of the
month. There is not believed to be
any need for a grand jury session. If
a homicide occur or some other viola
tion of the law that requires an in
vestigation , by the prosecutor, . the
grand jury will lie called into session
at once. It , is not believed that , the
county institutions are in a condition
that demands an inspection by r the
jury and a report as to the conditions.
7
I . One Session a Year.
; The law requires one session of the
grand jury, each year, whether there
be any specified reason ' for 1 one be
ing called or not. It is the intent of
the law in requiring this session to
bring about an investigation of all
public institutions such as the jail and
poor farm, i The jury is evpected to
submit a report and in it recommend
such improvements or rearrangements
and repairs as it deems advisable,
v Preparations now are being made
for the April term of court. It is ex
pected the docket will not be as large
as for the January and October terms.
The April term includes the . summer
vacation period of the court. The at
torneys always appear lethargic and
not disposed to enter into violent law
cases.
The October term always Is the
largest in the number of cases tried.
It Is too early now to predict the size
of -the docket. The Fleming vs. Hod
gin estate case is set for trial tomor
row. The Jones and Gay cases are
scheduled for trial Tuesday and Wednesday.

COR. 9TH AND MAIN.
San Francisco, March 2. Before I
left, last month, I promised I would
write you occasionally and tell you
about the various interesting sights
and happenings I encounter on my
travels.
To begin with, there was the jour
ney of practically two thirds the way
across the continent, from Chicago,
via the Northwestern, Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific, to San Francis
co. Overland Limited was the name
of the splendid train and I could not
but contrast, in my mind, the ease,
safety and comfort with, which we
were accomplishing our twenty-five
hundred mile journey, with the bard-
ships and dangers those, pioneers, our
forefathers, endured, "before the days
of transcontinental railroads and pala
tial Pullman train transportation.
Those daring souls, in ox-drawn pra
irie schooners, unfalteringly pushed
their way to the coast, living off the
land as they proceeded, beset by hos
tile Indians and tortured by thirst
and heat in the deserts. While we
enjoyed the convenience of modern
Pullmans and dined' in a way that
Lucullus, the great Roman Epicurean,
would have approved of highly. We
saw but few redskins, and those en
gaging in such prosaic occupations as
digging ditches or driving farm wag
ons. And toe deserts! I might say
with truth that they amounted to very
little, that their dangers were nil, all
of which was due to the modern rail
road and its magic mile-a-minute
train.
Made Deep Impression.
Three things, at least, will remain
persistent in , my memory of the trip
across the continent, and the first, I
am sure, made the deepest Impres
sion. Crossing Illinois and Iowa, sun
set of the second day aboard the train
found us half way across Nebraska.
By nightfall we were beyond North
Platte and in the teeth of a mighty
bliizard, accompanied by a terrific
snow storm. The wind bowled and
raged, as I hope never to hear it
again, shaking the very cars as our
train barely crawled on its way.
Through it all we suffered no discom
fort, Bitting snug and warm in the ob
servation car and smiling derisively at
the futile efforts of Boreas to smite us
with his icy blasts. We did not escape
unscathed, however, for the boreal ar
mies made off , with twelve valuable
hours of our train's running time, de
spite the mighty snow plow ahead,
piling the storm king's spent shafts
car high on either side of the track,
and the two powerful engines that
puffed and floundered in its wake?
According to the conductor it was the
worst blizzard that had been encount
ered on the road in years.
The Lucin Cut-Off.
The next thing we encountered, of
more than passing interest was the
Lucin Cut-off, an example of the Am
erican idea of doing things In a big
way. A few years back, after leav
ing Ogden, Utah, trains on the Union
Pacific continued on their way around
the great Salt Lake. , Today, thanks
to E. H. Harriman's genius and mil
lions, trains proceed from . Ogden
across Salt Lake. No, not by bridge
nor by ferry. By a gigantic fill for
miles straight across the lake. This
is the famous Lucin Cut-off and is
illustrative of Mr. Harriman's belief
that what this country needs is "bet
ter railroads." That is, .instead of
building more railroad mileage, take
that we already have and bring it up
to the highest efficiency. And the
Lucin Cut-off is' one way Mr. Harri
man has taken of practicing -what he
preaches. By this piece of railroad
engineering trains on the Union Pa
cific are saved not only more than
forty miles extra distance, but also
many curves and some fairly stiff
grades. Even the novice can under
stand the advantage of distance, curve
and grade elimination to railroads, as
a saving in dollars and cents.
Great Snow Sheds. .
Last there were . the snow sheds,
through which the trains whirled In
the Sierre Mountains. The Sierres
are the last barrier one meets before
entering sunny California and, after
a fashion, it appears more or . less
natural to enter the beautiful Golden
State after surmounting obstacles, so
rich is the reward after arriving
there. . . ... i
N Owing to the fact that our train
was twelve. hours . behind schedule
time, we crossed the Sierres daring

the night.; Ordinarilly, this part of
the journey is accomplished during
daylight, and the traveller may drum
to his or her fill of the grandeur and
beauties of these tree girt and snow-
topped mountains. Fortunately, our
train dashed into the first snow anea
while it was still light enough , to ap
preciate the details of its construction
and the need of its protection. Mas
sive timbers supported the well built
roof and the sides were boarded from
top to bottom perpendicularly. Most
of the way the side boarding is arrang
ed in such manner that a six inch
space is left between boards. In the
most exposed, sections, however,' the
boarding is continuous, in order to af
ford absolute protection against the
drifting snow.
; Forty Miles Long.
Shortly after leaving the first snow
shed we entered another and for over
forty miles. This time our train roll
ed on . beneath - Its shelter. . ' Around
mountains on the brinks of precipices,
over bridges, through valleys for about
forty-two miles our train sped in its
man-defying-the-elements protection,
the roof and sides of which held back
innumerable tons of snow.- The flash
ing spaces In the fence-like side- walls,
like the waving wand of the hypnotist,
soon lulled as to sleep.
Enchanting San Francisco.
The awakening, came In the enchant
ing land surrounding San Francisco
and it was not long until our train
had finished ' its cross-continent run
and, steed-like after a gallant run,
stood panting in the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company's terminal at Oak
land. From there It was but a twenty
minute ferry ride across the bay to
San Francisco, America's gateway to
the Orient. That, Phoenix-like, has
risen from the ashes and destruction
of the earthquake and fire of three
short years ago to greater and grand
er proportions.. ;
Of San Francisco, however, more
another time.

SGEIIE OF TROUBLE
Operate Coffee Plantations in
Nicaragua, Which Threat
ens to Make War.
TROUbLE IS QUITE SERIOUS
TWO YEARS AGO ISHAM SEDG
WICK LOST HIS ENTIRE COFFEE
CROP AS RESULT OF A REVO
LUTION. -
Friends of Wayne county people who
are engaged in business In Nicaragua
are anxiously awaiting word from
them in regard to the little disturb
ance between that country and- San
Salvador, and In which the United
States and Mexico may intervene. I
ham Sedgwick and Harry Leonard,
formerly of this city and several Dub
lin 'men are engaged in coffee raising
in Nicaragua. ...
Richard Sedgwick stated yester
day that he had received no -word
from his brother for some time but
(hat In hia last- letter he did not refer
to any trouble,' In watch the country
was engaged. He has a large coffee
plantation at Malagalpa, which Is
about 200 miles from Managua, the
scene of the trouble, accordlntT to dis
patches. The other Wayne county
people operate plantations . not far
from where Mr. Sedgwick is located.
Two years ago when President Ze
laya of Nicaragua was engaged In
war with another Central American
Republic Mr. Sedgwick suffered a big
loss. His men were conscripted Into
the service of the nation, except those
who led to the mountains and re
mained in hiding. Mr.- Sedgwick was
the only man on his plantation and
as it was the time to harvest the crop,
he had to allow It to rot on the
bushes. His mail was opened and he
otherwise suffered many Indignities.
No doubt if the trouble between Nica
ragua and San Salvador becomes ser
ious there will be a recurrence of the
conditions two years ago. This year,
Mr. Sedgwick writes to his brother,
that his coffee crop la of much promise.
