GRAND JeRY REPORT.

To Tie Honorable, Tie Judge of the
Fourth judicial District of Nevada,
april Term, 1876
Your Grand Jury would respectfully
report that they have found five true
bills and one preseDtment, rs follows /:
One true bill for embtzzlement; one
true bill for HOUSEKEEPING; one true
bill for mayhem. one presentment for
burglary; one true bill for burglary /;
one true bill for arson of the second
degree.
There are at present seven prisoners
confined in the County Jail, to wit:
j. w. Rover, under sentence for MUIR
der; BENZ. Ainsworih. charged with
HOUSEKEEPING; w. G. Ricord, charged
with embe Zzlement; All Man, charged
with may lem; Alb Lee aud All Kayne;
sentenced for selling whisky to Indians;
q. NJ. Fall. charged with arson in the
second degree.
We wish to bring before the Com.
mi-siouers the oft repeated tale of bud
air Ia the Jail we consider it necessary
that something be done whereby the
Jail caA be better ventilated, as it is
Impossible to live in it without con-
tractinp some disease
We also recommend that tie Com
missioners attend to having a jail yard
for the use of tie prisoners. as it is
actually necessary TOR their health; also
to remove the privy from the Jail to
the jail yard.
We would recommend that the Com
missloners attend to the above recon-
incubation ut their Dext st .sslon with
ont fail, for in SO doing they will save
the county IA heavy expense at some
future day.
We believe the Sheriffs have done as
/ well las they could tor the health OF the
prisoners under the circumstances.
We wonld herein state that we be-
lieve some of our township officers are
very derllict in their duty, and would
recommend that they. from this time
forth, do their duty according to their
oaths- without tear, favor or Partially
As the Grand Jury for the January
Term made an examination of the
books and offices Of the county we
deem 1t unnecessary 10 Investigate
them again at this time.
There being ito further business be-
fore the Grand Jury at this time We
respectfully ask TO be discharged.

As we felt assured all the time, the whole story which the Evening Star tried to get us to accept is a mere fabri- cation. It will be seen that the loan only costs the State ten per cent.-no bonus being paid and DO compensation being paid to the agent. What has the Star to say now? Here is the letter;

The Other Side of the Picture.

In another column will be found communication from an intelli- gent correspondent headed, "A visit to the Penitentiary Conyicts at Spadra Coal Mines" We cheerfnlly publish this, being per feetly willing to let both sides be known, and believing that due credit should awlays be given when it is merited. We the more cheerfully make room for this, on account of the many, and no doubt greatly exaggerated, ale gations of cruelty and unmerciful treatment which have been charg- ed against Mr. Ward. We are glad our correspondent has taken the pains to give tine pubic the substance of his interview, and we are pleased to know that the tale he tells is altogether contra dictory of the reports of dissatis- faction ol the part of convicts with. their keepers, and refutes the reports of cruelty so often set afoat. With such class of men to deal with as Mir. Ward has un- der his charge, 1t would be very unreasonable to suppose that he could manage them without the most rigid discipline. Our cor respondents report shows that so far as the Spadra convicts are concerned, they are perfectly con tented and fully satisfied with their treatment and fare-being well supplied with both clothing and rations.
