The grand jury adjourned to-day,
sius die, and presented tho following
report:
To the Hon. II: Z. Beckham, Judge OF Dis
trict Court OF Tarraot County:
The grand jury beg leave to make
the following report: We have made
careful inquiry into and concerning
all violations OF the law throughout
the county that have bcen brought 10
our notice. We have presented one
hundred and thirty C3O bills during
this term OF the court. We find that tho
Sunday law is bsing enforced through.
ont the city aud county with only an
occasional secret violation. Public
gambling has also been almost en-
tirely suppressed, and th. gaming
thst has been done In the city for some
time, has boon done secretly. We find
that crime of all character Is on the
decrease in Tarrsnt county, only one
felony having been committed In the
county since our last sitting three
weeks ago. Wehave visited the county
Jail and found IL in good condition and
we'll kept. The prisoners, az far as we
could learn, are we'll treated III every
respect.
From tho number of prisoners IN
fact, and the amount OF work To be
dsne in grading them, we would ro-
Spectfuliy recommend the commits
sioners court to employ and pay two
Jail guards at the expense OF the coun-
~. We believe this would DO doing
justice to the sheriff, as no has now to
keep two guards,and tho compensation
allowed him by law Is not adequate to
Justify him In paving for the services
Of two guards. We have not exam
ined tho books OF tho county officers
that II Is not nee assary to do 80,
We also desire to return our thanks
10 the coult, the sheriff and his depu-
ties, and our baiiiif-, the county at
tornsy and district clerk, for the as
sistance given us and for tho uniform
courtesy extended toward US.
Il. II. ELLINGTON,
Foreman.
