To the Honorable A. L. Fitzgerald,
Judge Of the Third Judicial District
Court Of the State Of Nevada, in and for
Eureka county:
We, the Grand Jury, impaneled by
your Honor and assigned to duty on
the 3Oth day Of December. A. ID. 1895,
having investigated all cases and CON-
plsInts submitted and broughttoo our notice
by the District Attorney and other par.
ties, and having made a full aud thor
ough examination Of the books and
records Of our public officers, beg re.
spectfully to present our final report,
as follows:
The State Of Nevada vs.. Charles Mo
Cartley; charge, HOUSEKEEPING. A true
bill.
The State OF Nevada VS.. John How
enden; charge. assault with intent to
kill. Bill ignored.
We recommend that the following
laws be strictly enforced by the proper
officers, to wit:
The law requiring physicians and
midwives to file with the County Re-
corder the requisite certificate Of the
births Of children at which they have
oficiated.
The law requiring those who perform
the ceremony Of marriage to file with
the County Recorder the necessary GER.
tifcate as provided by law. and the
law requiring persons officiating at the
burial Of any and all persons to file with
the County Recorder a certificate of the
death within the time provided by
statute.
We recommend that all supplies for
the county. when practicable, and all
contracts which may run for one years
time. be let to the lowest bidder.
We request the license collector to
carefully watch and enforce the law re-
lating to the sale Of spirituous liquors,
etc., and to insist in every instance upon
the collection of the legal license for
such. and we particularly call the atten.
tion Of the peace officers to the necessity
of enforcing the law relating to miners
visiting saloons, buying liquors and
cigars, and also to the sale Of liquors to
Indians, a practice which again seems to
be largely INDUCED in.
In regard to certain election contests
at the close Of the last election in this
county, we found the afidavits of c. L.
Broy, plaintiff, in each case, in the sixty
instances in which circles instead OF
crosses were alleged to have been on bal.
lots counted for the defendants, to have
been made wholly without foundation.
and while we entirely exonerate the va
rious boards of election inspectors from
the charge OF malconduct and miscon.
duct made by the plaintiff in the cases
referred to, we strongly admonish all
persons in the future to abstain from
making such unfoundsd afidavits from
spite, malice or other unworthy motives,
as great hardship and expense may re-
suit In consequence thereof to those
whom the public may see 6t to elect to
Office.
We found that during the year 1894
U. F. Tyler OF Mineral Hill did Q retail
liquor business without q license, and
that during the last six months of the
same year E. NJ. Baum Of PaIisade, Ben.
son & Engstrom Of Beowawe conducted
q hotel business without q license for the
same, and we recommend that the
| County Commissioners instruct the Dis
trict Attorney to m proceedings
for the collection Of the sums so due the
county against Mr.. John T. Wheeler,
then Sheriff. and his bondsmen.
We call the particular attention of the
officers whom il may concern to the great
nuisance Of permitting hogs and other
such animals 60 run at large in the pub
lie streets, and ask that the law relating
to the same be strictly and stripgently
enforced.
We would say in conclusion, that the
county is to be congratulated upon its
present financial condition. and in view
Of the stagnation in business brought
about by the crime Of demonetizipg sill
yer, we ask the present county admins
t~ration to continue the good work Of re-
trenchment Of expenses in the conduct
Of the county government.
