TO ANSWER TO GRAND JURY.
-----
Rosebud Parties Give Bond in
Sum of $500 Each.
-----

       Justice J. D. Lamar and Sam Smith, special deputy constable, of Rosebud, were held to await the action of the grand jury in the examination at Rosebud Tuesday.  They are charged with being instrumental in the death of a Mexican, a report of which appeared in a previous issue of this paper.
       The defendants waived examination and their bonds were fixed at $500 by agreement.  The bonds were readily given, being signed by the leading citizens of Rosebud.
       The circumstances, as developed, show that the dead Mexican was the party, or one of them, who burglarized the store of Emelia Davila on last Friday night; that before he died he told the officers where to find the cash drawer taken from Davila's house, and the officers found it as located.  The Mexican also had on clothing which belonged to another party.
       There were about half a dozen shots fired at the Mexican, only one taking effect and that in the back, going through the body.
