That the law should provide capital punish ment for faithless wives Is the de mand of C. M. owles, a prominent citizen of Toano, which has aroused a fierce controversy tn the Richmond newspapers. The session of circuit court to com mence September 21 wHI be the first one since the law was enacted which t takes the power of Indictment from the district attorneys and leaves It entirely with grand juries. In view of this 'fact the coming Jury term of court will be of much mors than ordinary significance. At that time the new system will be given Its first trial In this county and the work of the grand Jury will be watched with Interest. Just what is to come before the grand Jury in September Is something that is not being advertised very widely. In fact there is no way of telling at this time Just what cases will be brought because the field will be open to all and there is yet lots of time for cases to be developed. But that there will be a multitude of cases for the seven grand Jurors to Investigate Is freely admitted by District Attorney Phelps. This morning he prohesled that It will re quire at least a week or 10 days for the grand Jury to finish its work and it may be that the grand Jury inves tigations will compleedy overshadow all other business at the September session. Naturally the grand Jurw will have to investigate many cases wherein the prohibition law has been violated. Already some complaints along this line have been laid before the district attorney and there is no doubt but that the grand Jury will have to pass on many "blind pig" cases. The facts connected with these cases will be made known Inside the grand 1urv room. Light Criminal Docket. Were It not for the grand Jury in vestigations there would not be much to the September court session. At present there are but three or four cases awaiting trial and these are not of great importance. Warren Stephens, Melvin Huck and Guy Hayes will be tried for cattle stealing. Quinn of Hermiston is under Indict ment, for a serious offence and Asa Van Winkle's case will be investigat ed by the grand Jury. Gold Strike Attracts Many. - Reno, Aug. 22.
