Grand Jury Report.

To the Honorable County Court, in and for
Calareras county, at the March Term,
1868.
March Term, 1868. of this Honorable Court,
beg leave to submit the following report:
We have had under consideration fifteen
cases, and have given each case full and
thorough examination. and have found the
following indictments, to-wit:
Three, for murder; one for breaking and
entering house in day time, with intent to
steal; three for grand larceny; four for
buying and receiving stolen goods; three
for misdemeanor, and one was ignored.
We have also examined into the escape
of the county prisoners, and find that the
same was through gross negligence and
carelessness on the part Of the Jailor, under
whose immediate charge those prisoners were,
by leaving the Jail and having his time occu-
pied by playing a fashionable game of
''poker," at the same time the prisoners were
playing their game with a poker, or some
other instrument unknown to the jury, by
which they made their escape. while the Jail
was left in charge of an incompetent person.
We also find, upon further examination.
that neither Mr.. James Oliphant ex-Sherif
of this County, or his Deputy, Mr.. VIM. F.
Cotton, are in any way to blame as regards
the escape of the prisoners.
We visited the County Hospital, which is
at Mokelumne Hill and made careful ex-
animation, and inquired into the condition
of the inmates thereof; we find sixteen per-
sons treated and cared for; we find the
building in all its departments, in good con-
dition, and the wants of tie unfortunate in
mates du.y cared for. No complaints were
made to US, and we should Judge the wants
of the inmates are fully and satisfactorily
attended to, and that DR.. A. H. Hnrchner
has faithfully and skilfully discharged his
duties.
We also visited the new county jail and
found the same to be in a cleanly and COM
Portable condition. and the prisoners well
cared for by the officers in attendance
We would recommend that the Board of
Supervisors of this county, as soon as posi-
BILE, have the inner wall of the Jail strength
ened.
We would further recommend the Board
of Supervisors of this county to enforce the
laws in regard to the County and Township
officers, in settling their accounts, quarterly
as the law requires them to do.
The Grand Jury desire to return their
thanks to the District Attorney, Mr.. 7. K.
Wilson, for the prompt, efficient and courte-
Gus manner in which he has discharged his
duties before US. and for much valuable as
sistance rendered US in the discharge of our
duties.
We most cordially return our thanks to
the Sheriff of this county, and his deputies,
for.their prompt and kind attention paid us
during the session.

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.-On Friday week
since the body of man was found hidden
in the chaparral near the main Stockton
road, about four miles below the North
American. The discovery was entirely the
result of accident Some stock escaped from
drove which was being driven along the
road by Mr.. Wheat and his son, and the boy
went in pursuit of them. Approaching near
where the body was secreted, the horrioie
stencil arising from it attracted his attention.
and upon returning he informed his father Oh
the circumstance. Search was Immediately
instituted and the body discovered. Judging
from the appearance of. the remains winch
~rore u, an advanced state of putrificatlon,
life had probably been extinct for month
or al. weeks. The hogs, large numbers OF
which are running wild in that vicinity, had
so mutilated the corpse as to have precluded
the possibility CT recognition, even by those
who had known him intimately. and there
was nothing found upon his person which
could lead to his Identification. All that
could be determined with certainty in regard
to the body was that it was that of white
man. Although he had been placed in a
thick bunch of bushes, yet to more etfectu-
ally screen him from view, limbs of chaparral
had also been cut and driven around him.
A handkerchief was knotted and hung loose
ly around his neck-probably used as gag.
An inquest was held upon the body, on
Saturday, by ]. G. Pollard. Justice Of the
Peace; we have not the verdict of the Jury
before US, but learn that the opinion that he
was murdered, is universal. In hopes that
it NAV lead to his identification we give
description of his clothing: He had on very
finely knit drawers and undershirt--red (; a
checked shirt with a common gray miner 5
shirt over it; light gray coat and cashmere
pants His hat and boots were missing.
One of his trowsers pockets was turned in
side out. Some one may possibly recognize
the remains by the dress. Two front teeth
were out, and two others had been filled,
one with gold and the other with compost
tion. The man had undoubtedly been rob-
bed and murdered.

LAND SLIDE.-On Sunday morning last a
land slide occurred at the claim of Norton &
Co., IN lower Rich Gulch, completely filling
and covering up the mouth Of the tunnel.
The slide was SO deep that it included three
sets of timbers in the general smash up. The
tunnel is run through an old slide and the
recent heavy rains had softened it so that it
came down like an Alpine avalanche. For
tunately no one was injured. The men who
were at work in the claim at the time had
prepared blast and gone out to await the
explosion. When at the mouth of the tun-
mel they saw unmistakable indications of the
impending danger, and had time to remove
the tools about the claim before the slide
came. Their escape seems providential. But
for having the blast in readiness just as they
did, they would have been confined in the
tunnel, and as the explosion of the blast
would have filed it with smoke, they would
have been suffocated before relief reached
them. The debris has been removed and
operations are progressing as usual. The
Company expects to reach the lead within q
month.

The weather during the week has been
very warm and pleasant. Spring has fairly
opened. The trees are budding, the cheerful
twitterings of the martins, as they discuss
the relative accommodations of rooms in
which to commence housekeeping, the bo-
quets of wild flowers which the delighted
children gather and the fresh mantle of green
which envelopes the hillsides and fields, her
aid the near approach of a new season.

swayed his icy sceptre numerically over US,

SToRM.-Saturday last was the stormiest
day of the season. We have never seen it
rain so hard before. More water was run
ming in the streets than at any previous time
during the Winter, and all of the gulches
and streams were filled to their utmost ca
pacity. The Sonora stage did not attempt
to make the trip on Sunday. and the Stock
ton stage was unable to get through. For

enough to affect the larger streams, and we
have heard of no serious damage being done
by it. We think it must have been the

ANOTHER MINING Academia miner
by the name of A. McGregor, an old resident
of Rich Gulch, had his leg broken while at
work in his claim at that place, on Monday
morning last. The particulars of the acci-
dent are as follows: Mr.. McGregor was at
work in the ground sluice" which has been
cut close up to the bank. The claim is only
about seven feet in depth. A small quantity
of gravel caved down and caught his leg be-
tween it and the edge of the Grace" fractur-
ing the limb above the knee. Help was at
hand and the unfortunate man speedily res
cued from his unpleasant position. We are
informed that the amount of dirt which came
down was so small that under ordinary cir
cumstances it would not have inflicted
injury. Mr.. McGregor is one of our most
respected citizens, and has the sympathies of
many friends in his ill fortune. He was
brought to the Hill for treatment and placed
under the charge of Dr. A. H. Herchner, by
whom the limb was set. We are happy to
be able to state that Mr.. McGregor is rap
idly recovering.
