county.
The Grand Jury for the June term
have completed their labors and beg
leave to report as follows:
We have found one true bill for muir
der; one true bill for embezzlement;
two true bills for assaults with intent
to kill
We have ignored one charge for
assault with intent to kill; two charges
for intent to do great bodily injury; one
charge for soliciting crime, and one
charge for killing and manning stock.
Wehavoexamined the different county
offices and have found all books and
papers in good condition. and, as far as
we were able to ascertain, correctly
kept.
We find that licenses have been al
lowed to run five months and upwards,
which is contrary to law. We also find
that second class licenses have been
issued to parties who should have OBJ
tanned first class license, and would
urge the Sheriff to be more particular
in regard to the character and collection
OF licenses.
We find that the improvements made
in the county Jail of late are incom-
plete, inasmuch as the iron lining on
the sides does not extend to the ceiling,
aud there is no iron on the sides or
bottoms of the windows. We would
recommed that the Commissioners have
the work completed, and the windows
secured against the admission of sand
into the jail
A lamp is needed in the main hall of
the lower floor of the Courthouse for
the use of the Sheriff and other officers.
The windows in the Courthouse need
some repairs to prevent their rafting
by the wind. The roof of the court house
and the ceiling i'll the Courtroom and
in the halls need some repairs, and we
would therefore recommend to the Com
missioners that these necessary inn
provements be made. The new vaults
in the Clerks, Treasurer's and Re-
corder's Offices We consider very good
and much needed for the protection of
the public records.
We would recommend to the Com
missioners that they require of A. j.
Shepard, G.. NJ. Miller and Charles
kemler surety on their official bonds
in place Of Charles kesler, deceased.
