REPORT OF GRAND JURv

70 Hon r. q. Prlckett, Judge Of the
District Court Of the Second judicial
District, Boise County, Idaho Terri
tory, October term, 1879:
: We, the Grand Jurors empanneled
for said term Of said court, having FIN
lshed our labors, present the follow
ing report:
We have found two true bills and
have ignored two cases.
We find the County Hospital con
tanning but two inmates, who ap
peared to be well fed, clothed and
otherwise provided for Everything
connected with it is clean, the rooms
well ventilated, carpeted and provided
with stoves, and think everything per
tanning to, and its occupants are prop
erly attended to and cared for.
The Jail and its surroundings are ID
good condition, with good and suffi-
cient accommodations for prisoners:
That it IS secure in every part, and
that such improvements as III our
Judgment are necessary are already
,,eing made and we can recommend
nothing farther for its better improve
ment
We would recommend that the foun-
dalton Of the Court House be renewed
with fir posts, and the space under the
floor to be filed up with sand or gray
lei. This amount Of repairs in our es-
timatioR being sufficient to furnish
the county with good Court House
for several years.
An examination of the bonds of the
county officers shows that the bond of
the Sheriff is given for one half of the
sureties that the law requires.
That there is only one surety for
the penal sum on the bond of the Tax
Collector, whereas there should be two
sureties for the whole penal sum.
The Assessors bond is good one
with the exception that one of the
sureties is dead
We find that the bond of the Treasur.
er of Boise county is fixed at fifteen thou
sand dollars, which we consider a
small bond, and should be executed
with good and efficient securities, and
that the bond on file in our opinion is
not a good and sufficient bond.
| The bond of the Probate Judge is
insufficient by reason of the death OF
one of the securities.
We would recommend that the
Board of County Commissioners re
laurie and see that the contractors fol
repairing roads and bridges, lerforn
these duties according to the contract
We would call the attention of the
proper officers and the keepers of sa
looms to the circumstance that minors
between the ages of five and sixteer
years are INDUCED in the habit of Wis
lifting saloons in disregard of law.
We think that the allowance to DR.
Zipf by the Board of County Commits
sioners for post norton examination
at the county seat to be an illegal al
|lowance, and we particularly call thu
lattention of the Board of County Com
Imissioners to the act creating then
and defining three duties and powers

wEDDING COSTUMES.


In new hOEA.
The subioined is from the New York
Graphic of recent date:
Several elegant weddings have taken
place this week, and the beauty of the
toilets has been the subject OF comment in
fashionable circles. One worn by Miss
stevens, Of Hoboken, was as remarkable
for its delicacy aud taste as for its cost.
The rich satin was shrouded in myriads OF
rows, Of the finest Breton lace, plated so
closely that it had the appearance OF foam.
The veil was an heirloom, and was attached
to a close, full wreath of white rosebuds
and natural orange blossoms. The mix
ture of these flowers formed the ~Sarniture,
but the bouquet was formed entirely OF
white rosebuds. No artificial flowers were
used.
The six bridesmaids walked in couples,
each two dresses exactly alike, and each
two different from the Others, but all wore
white, with large leghorn bonnets, trim
med with white ostrich feathers, and car
ried a bouquet of deep red Jacqninot roses:
A New York bride wore thousands Of
do liars worth of point lace, and a third
was accompanied by two tall and distin-
guished bridesmaids, who made a great
sensation in Princess dresses of pale pink
and dashing Gaiusborough hats.
The most beautiful dress worn by the
mother of a bride was Of moonlight satin,
made with a long train, but perfectly
plain, with the exception of a narrow
plating over which the edge was cut out
10 half squares. The rich surface reflected
every ray of light which fell upon it, and
was only very lightly yelled by a magniti-
cent Indian scarf of delicate gauze, marvel
lousy embroidered with fine, real gold
thread.

Excursion 10 MeIsoud's Raneh-The
Days Amusement

y
The excursion Of the Centennial Guards
Of Ruby Hill, to McLoud's ranch, took
place yesterday. The most extensive pre-
parations were made for the event, and
everybody and everybody's neighbor an
nounced their intention during the past
week to attend. 1t was not a matter Of
surprise, therefore. when a train contain
ing about 800 people pulled out from the
depot yesterday morning. The journey to
the ranch occupied about two hours, and
when the train arrived at that point, all
were anxious to change the seats they had
occupied for couple of hours under a broil-
ing sun, and every six inches of shade that
could be found under tie brush and
saplings was soon occupied. There was
scarcely any place however, where the
suns rays did not penetrate, and for seve-
raj hour a hot sweltering mass of human
iy surged around the grounds. A pavilion
had been erected, but it was too hot for
dancing, and 1t was soon abandoned.
Three innings satisfied the base-ballers,
and Ton Wren, with his pockets full Of
balls and a bat in hand, was content to
spend the balance Of the day under the
shelter Of a Bingham umbrella. The crick-
eters too were soon Disguised, and left the
field. A race between Messrs. Roberts and
Crowley, ended in the formers favor on
the second trial. The fact was the weather
was against the boys, and they soon real
lied that the only thing that could be done
successfully was to drink lager, and an as
toEishing amount of that beverage disap-
peared in the course Of the day. The target
shooting was the feature Of the day, and
we, therefore, give the scores of the differ
ent contestants, for which we are indebted
to Mr.. J.. I. Lee, the umpire. The first
prize was won by john Stinson, and the
second by George Dell. The scores were
as follows, the highest point possible being

A New AMI Eiesan, Embellishments.

Messrs. Luther Clark & Co. will to-mor-
row evening throw open to the public the
above elegant establishment. When we
say elegant that is precisely what we mean.
A more complete and magnificent saloon
was never fitted up in Eastern Nevada,
and We doubt II its equal is to be found in
Virginia City. The furniture is Of solid
walnut, aud Is massive and costly. The
apartments comprise the main saloon, a
club room for gentlemen partial to draw"
and a faro room. The latter is to be con-
Quoted by Messrs. Scott and Richmond.
An elegant modern style pool table has also
be-. provided for the accommodation OF the
patrons OF the house. All OF the rooms,
including the saloon, are carpeied with
brussels carpet. Nothing but the choicest
brands Of wines, liquors and cigars will be
served over the bar. In a word, IL is TO be
in all respects a firstelass two-bit saloon.
A feature Of the establishment will be a
tempting hot and cold lunch spread day
and night, with a Partisan caterer to serve
guests. Remember the grand opening to-
morrow night. Also remember the place
up stairs in the G.. p. building.

WARD ITEMS.

1t is the opinion Of not a few that the
lower tunnel OF the Martin White Company
should be driven in without delay, il it is
ever intended to develop the mine in q sub
stantial manner. 1t is evident the Com
soon, as it is painfully apparent that the
ore bodies now being extracted will be ex-
hausted by the end Of the present year.
They go down below the depth already
reached, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that at the depth this tunnel would
tap the vein IN immense body Of ore will
certainly be encountered.
In this particular section it blows some
times. One would MOI think it, but up on
the side Of the Egan range, overlooking
Ward, it blows, the wind does, for all that
is out-blows the bark off the south side Of
the trees. Constant dropping wears away
a stone, and wind that never let up, at that
altitude must of necessity have a COR
responding effect. This is a true story.
For several days past aqueous vapor has
hung around and about this section after
a fashion that was we'll calculated to cheer
the heart Of the rancher. 1t has not only
loafed around, but let go and come down
in copious showers at short intervals, and,
it would appear, the end is not yet.
NJ. B. Garaghan is now the possessor OF
q stallion which he claims is OF the blooded
persuasion, so blooded that it would be
safe to wager that he would make a mile
inside Of a minute. Five hundred dollars
wouldn't buy him.
Peter McCabe, who was supposed to be
fatally stabbed on May oath, by s. P.
Clifford, is rapidly recovering. He is at
this time out OF danger.
The Star Mining Company has levied an
assessment of 20 cents per share. delin-
quent July 18th. The day Of sale is fixed
for August 18th.
W. N. McGill, the contractor for haul
ing ore to the Martin White mill, put his
teams in motion again the first of the pres
ent week.
Fred Hip, Bob Briggs and Dave O'Brien
pull out for Yankee Fork next Thursday.
They go in their own conveyance.
All repairs to the mill are now about
completed, and it will no doubt start up
to-day.

About 5 o'clock the excursionists again
sought the cars, and were soon on the way
to town. A couple Of fights broke the
monotomy Of the tedious journey. Every
thing that could possibly be desired for the
enjoyment OF those in attendance was done
by the Guards, but pleasure was out Of the
question with the thermometer at boiling
point, and many a breath of relief was
drawn when Eureka appeared in sight.
Financially the affair was a success, and it
could have been in all other respects had
the weather been propitious.
