Defrauding Farmers.

Two sharpers have been defraud4
ing the farmers OF several counties in
this section in rather original and
decidedly shrewd manner. They
went over the country leasing the
land for coal, but when they came
across a German farmer who was inn
perfectly acquainted with the En-
glish language, or who was unsus-
pecting and confiding, they presented
for his signature an article of agree
ment, the concluding portion of which
was. a judgment note. They secured
nearly $4,000 of these notes, which
they disposed of to banks and private
capitalists, realizing in this way about
81, 000.- Cun1b. Times.

Grand Jury Report.

To the Honorable, the Jud1es of the
Circuit Court for Garrett county:
The Grand Jury beg leave to SUBJ
nit the following report:
We have examined forty-nine (49)
witnesses, who appeared before us,
(seYeral who were summoned, did
not appear), and carefully investiga-
ted all cases presented for our con-
sideration. We also examined the
public buildings of the county. con-
sisting of the Court House, Jail and
Sheriff's House, and regret to say that
in many respect the Court House is
insecure as place of safety for the
public records, in consequence of the
insecurity of the fastenings of WIN
dow shutters and other openings.
The leakage in the building itself;
the evidences of weakness in the gen.
eraI structure besides the walls show
unmistakable signs of decomDosi-
ton in the material used. We rec
ommend that prompt measures be
taken to repair said building, so as to
preserve it from leakage and other
damages incident to its bad construc-
tIon and condition. We think much
Improvement might be made in the
keeping of the building, especially in
its cleanliness and comfort.
The Jail and Sheriff's House we
find in good condition. There are
other sanitary conditions, however,
we are bound to especially notice,
which we think ought to be remedied
by the substitution of suitable water
closets for the offensive methods now
in use, which must, if continued, en-
danger the health of prisoners, as
well as the Sheriff and his family.
The condition of the poor of the
county, their proper protection and
maintenance has been a subject of
deep concern and thorough investi-
CATION by the Grand Jury. Informa-
ton before the Jury has developed
the fact that much of the money now
appropriated by the county has not
been judiciously and faithfully APP
piled for the support of the poor, in
tended to be benefited thereby. And
in view of these facts and other con-
siderations, the Grand Jury believe
the time has now come for the pur-
chase by the county of a suitable
property as an Aims House for the
better protection and comfort of this
unfortunate class of our fellow beings.
We earnestly hope, so far as this
subject may come within the scope
or duty of our county authorities,
that they take such action as will
carry into effect this recommenda.
ton.
All of which is respectfully submit
ted.
