TERRITORIAL GRAND JURY RE
PORT.

To Hon. Norman Buck, Judge First
Judicial District for Idaho Terri
f. tory.
SlR:-"'he grand jury of Nez Perce
County having enquired into all mat
ters coming before US for the present
term Of court herewith submit our final
report.
In the case Of Louis p. Wolsey, now
confined in the county Jail, We find
true bill of indictment for assault
with intent to kill. Several other
complaints of criminal offenses were
laid before us, which, after due investi
CATION, were dismissed as the evidence
therein appeared insufficient to war
rant an indictment. The presentmont
herewith handed to the court speaks
for itself.
At the timely and pertinent sugges-
ton Of your Honor We investigated
the matter Of county roads, SO far as it
was possible for us to do, and find
much confusion and irregularity in
the present road system. A special
complaint was laid before us in refer
ence to a certain DISTRACTED road in the
Waha District and which the super.
visor thereof, Mr.. j. A, Lathrop, had
been notified to open according to law.
We recommend to our board of county
commissioners and to the supervisor,
aforesaid, that this road be opened, and
we further recommened to said com
missioners and all supervisors in the
county, that all pubic roads be opened
according to the provisions Of the
statutes and then if changes are de-
sired or necessary, let such changes be
effected by petition to the board Of
county commissioners, or such other
lawful means as are provided for.
We also recommend to the county
! commissioners reasonable liberality ir
y the distribution of county funds fol
a the purpose of erecting such bridges
J. as are actually required for the public
t good. Among which, we herewith
n mention the Cow Greek bridge, ant
IS other important bridges required ii
II the Genesee precinct, also the McGreg
e or bridge, the Toner bridge and Others
a in the Moscow precinct.
q We have made full investigation
!. of the county buildings and of the va
e ries county Offices and are pleased t'
d report favorably in reference thereto
It Of the conduct of the affairs OF th
l. treasurer's office, under the supervision
a of Mr. n. Hale, We are qualified T.
b state that we not only found the cour
ct ty funds well protected but the treas
,r urcrs accounts perfectly correct an
N funds in the treasury as reported. W
in compliment Mr.. Hale on his ellicienc
j. as an officer, as also his poiteness an
ry atlability in granting us access to tn
Sc records. OF the auditor, Mr. }. il
x. Evans and the assessor, Mr.. IL. W
