October Term of C ire wit Cottrt Now On J. A. Panda Having Haariag. The regular October term of Circuit Court commenced at the court bouse ia this city on Tuesday last. The first matter taken op after excusing a num ber of tbe jurors was the drawing of a grand jury, which was composed oi the following named men: Geo. W. Makintter, Goble, farmer; Jas. W. Barr, Clatekenie, farmer; Nell Downing, Kainier, farmer; Geo. C. Beaver, St. Helens, fisherman; John Boyd, Houlton, farmer; Edmund Oleen, Deer Island, mill man ;M. Hoven, Goble laborer. The balance of the jurors were excused nntil tbe 13th. The grand jury went to work on tbe case of the State vs. Jacobsen, tbe Bute vs. Lovell, and investigated some other mat ten. Much evidence of an incriminating nature which Sberitf Thompson has against J. A. Pender, suspected of the murder of Mrs. Daisy Webrmra and her son, Harold, aged 3, in a lonely cabin near Scappoose, September 4, was intro duced before the grand jury here Wed nesday, and will lead to an indictment against the prisoner charging murder in the first degree. The jury, it is believed, will not return a verdict nntil tonight at the earliest. Among the witnesses examined Wed nesday were Guy Whitney, the clerk who ia alleged to have given Pender tbe paper which was found unopened in the Wehrnian cabin ; Mrs. R. E. Bates, who declares that the placed in the com munity mail box Saturday before the murder a package of stenciled muslin, discovered unopened by the authorities wheo they substantiated tbe suspicion that a murder had been committed, and J. M. Fry, the Scappoose rancher, who sayt the package of muslin wat not ia the mailbox near Pender's residence at 0 o'clock on the afternoon of September 2, within an hour and one-half of tbe time Mrs. Bates declares she placed it there in the presence of the prisoner. On account of Thursday being a legal holiday the grand jury went home Wednesday evening, and again took up tbeir labors at this place this morning. YANKTON SCHOOL REPORT.
