The following is the report of the
Territorial Grand Jury for Nez Perez
county:
10 the Hon. Norman Buch, Judge at
the lst Judtcial District, Idaho
TERRITORY, Nez Prrre Caanty:
We the undersigned members of tho
grand jury in and for Nez Perez coun-
ty beg leave to submit the following rs
our report We have had under our
consideration eight cases of various
kinds. We have found five indict-
ments, and three cases ~ere dismissed.
We have examined the records Of the
county as kept by the county officials
and found them kept in systematic
and correct manner. We have cx-
amined the county jail aad the officers
in charge are doing their duty faith
fully, Prisoners are as well cared for
as circumstances will permit, yet we
find the Jail inadequate to the safe and
comfortable keeping Of prisoners. Up
on examination we find the present
incumbent of the treasury holding the
office not in accordance with law, and
recommend that the board of commits
sioncrs have their attention called to
the fact. All of which we respect
fully submit l. N, HlBBs,
Foreman Grand Jury.

proceedings OF trial by juries. Persons can

evidence, arraign citizen At the bar OF pub.
lie justice without shadow for conviction,
but with the hope Of disgracing them by
public arraignment for crime. In this un-
certain path our prosecuting attorney is too
often led by these breeders of disturbance
and agitators of the public peace, bringing
him before the public in false attitude that
their personal imaginary grievances may be
redressed, and he stand like one who did
not do hi. duty. After the trial WAS over
the disputed heifcr made it's appearance in
the city and at once became the object of
curiosity and examination. Many OF the
grand jurors who had agreed to indict the
Doctor from the testimony aiduced, scru.
tinized the branding and no person has been
found who can discover even the faintest
outlines of the CD brand upon the animal,
We ourselves were curious enough to try
and make the discovery, but utterl, failed
to find anything indicative of any other
brand except the 10 brand. False accuse
tions of this nature tend more to elevate
the person accused still higher in the esti-
nation Of the public than many years of
constant study for moral supremacy could
do. The general public seem to be as much
pleased over the result Of this conspiracy az
il the Doctor himself.
