REPORT OF GRAND JURY.
Hon. e. II. Benton. Judge of the Eighth
Judicial District Court Of the State of
Montana:
We the grand jury in aud for Fergus
county, Montana, impanclled for the April
term respectfully submit this our final re-
port:
We met Monday, April I. 1890, and have
been in session four days. Ten eases have
been brought before us. thirty-four wit
nesses were examined, six indictments wer.
found and one no true hill reported. aud
the other cases dismissed for want of sui
ficient evidence.
We visited and examined the county jail
and found il kept ia IA neat and orderly
condition. There were five prisoners con
fined therein. who testified that they were
well treated. A committee was appointed
tn visit the county poor farm. They re
ported the place kept in good order There
are only two patients therein. who seemed
well satisfied With their treatment. An
inc the books and records Of the county
officers. They reported, as far as their
limited time allowed them Denomination,
that they were well kept aud in good order,
a nj We would recommend to the board Of
rounty commissioners that they appoint
examination of the books aud
r-eords of the county and report same to
iali term Of district court.
II having been brought To our mott that
a certain number Of persons in the county
were aud are selling liquors and allowing
gambling tn be carried on in their places ,l ,
business without taking ont the license re-
luir-d by law, we could not yet evi,ien,.
sufficient tn justify us in bringing any in
although We are satisfied oi the
truth of the reports. We would therefore
rail- the attenti.n of the county and town
ship officers to the matter and urge them
to enforce the law.
And We taks this opportunity "f express
ing our thanks to the Judge Of the court
aud county attorney for eourtesies sx-
tended to MS.
