Ifart is now confined m the countv jail with $5000 against him necessary to secure his release, pern! ing the outcome of his appealed cases and the indictments against him. It is believed that if Mart is content 'o remain in jail until the outcome ol the appeal, as it anpears improbable that lie will be :.ble to tiirnish bail 1,e will have served several months, for which he will not get credit on the original sentence. However it, is the belief that if he is successful in se curing bonds within the next two of ibree da vs. he will have the appeal dismissed. EIGHTS OF PYTHIAS 10 .
