To the Hon. j. B. Sener, presiding
Judge Of the first judicial district of
Wyoming territory;
SIR-We, the members of the grand
jury for the present term of court,
herewith submit to you our ANAL report
Of our labors and investigations during
the present term.
We have Investigated all matters that
have been brought to our attention
since the term began, and have taken
such action, under the law and our
oaths, as has seemed to us to be In ac-
cordance with our duties.
We have examined the jail of the
county and 6nd it in excellent condi-
ton. The prisoners, as we are informed
by them, are at all times furnished with
plenty of good, substantial food, and
are In all respects treated in a kind and
considerable manne by Sheriff Sharpless
and Deputy Hosford.
We 6nd, however, that the prisoners
are not in a very healthy condition,
owing to the want of exercise.
We therefore recommend that they
be employed either in carrying away
the rubbish and refuse matter that
from time to time has accumulated
around the Jail yard and grounds or in
building a cage within the jail itself on
the top of the n already in use.
Also that some competent person be
employed Immediately to examine the
condition of the plastering and walls of
the court house and report whether any
repairs are needed: and If so that said
repairs be made at once.
Also that a stone pavement be laid
on the south side of the court house to
replace the wooden walk o In use.
Also that a sewer be laid connecting
the court house grounds with the main
on Ferguson street, thereby connecting
the said grounds with the present sewer
system of the city.
In conclusion we have only to add
that our thanks are due and extended
to j. @. Baird, county attorney, for the
able and efficient service he has rem
dered during u Investigations.
LUKE VOORHEES,,
Foreman of the Grand Jury.
The grand jury was then discharged
for the term.
The court ordered that a certified
copy of the report be filed with the
county clerk, to be submitted by him to
the county commissioners.
Court then adjourned until 10 O'Clock
this morning.
- COURT HOUSE NOTES.
Henry Clouse was naturalized in the
district court yesterday.
The COW alleged to have been stolen
from F. E. Warren is claimed by two
or three other parties. She will be
produced herself as a witness to-day on
the trial, not in the court room itself,
but somewhere on the court house
grounds, in order that the jury can
take a view of her.
Baird appeared in court yesterday
with one eye b~andaged, the result of
inflammation caused by a severe cold.
When asked in regard to the situation
he replied, ''slightly dishgured but still
in the ring.n
About one hundred pages of journal
record have thus far been written up
by the clerk OF court since the term
opened.
The county commissioner will hard
ly pay much attention to the recon-
mendation of the grand jury that the
court house and Jail be heated by
steam.
Henry Conway Esq, is acting as one
of the bailiffs at the present term of
court.
Not a fine has been assessed against
any one during the present term.
The court house needs a bell and

An old gentleman came into the
court room the other day and after lis,
tening for awhile to the arguments

were up for hearing, started down
stairs, and us he went, muttered to
himself: "Wal III be gol darned If
