McClelland and Wesley Tabor by the Marión county grand jury, now in Bession, fur the murder of Alexander and Oscar MoClelland. John McClelland was arrested last evening on a bench warrantissued by tho order of the grand jury, and Tubor is now in jail in Salem. This case created quite a sensation two years ago, when two skelotons were found in a pond on the farm previously owned by John A. McClelland, four miles north of Centralia. The skeletons were supposed to be those of Alex and Oscar McClelland, father and brother of John A. McClelland, but they were never fuüy identifind. Every grand jury since has investigatsd the mystory, bnc no indietment has been found before. Tabor was brought into the case by a confe8sion which a divorced wife testifled to before a grand jury in Junuary last. What new evidence has been presented to this grand jury is not known.
