Grand Jury Report.

To His Honor, Judge J. T. Wat
k;ns, holding Court in and for Bos-
sier parish: We, your Grand Jurors,
duly impaneled and sworn in and for
Bossier parish, after receiving your
Honor's charge, retired to the Grand
Jury room, and made diligent inves-
tigation Of all violations of the Grim
iDal statutes which were brought to
our knowledge.
We have returned 81 true bills;
ignored 81 cases, and have handed
the District Attorney two cases, in
Guiding one murder case, as unfnish-
ed business, because we were unable
to get proper witnesses.
Examination of Jail reveals no
trouble or imperfection, save small
portion of pavement recently disrupt
ed, concerning which Sheriff said re-
pair would be made just as soon as
service of competent mason can be
procured.
Sheriff's and Clerks Offices are
well kept, and the necessarily cursory
examination of the Treasurer's books
indicates that the parish finances are
in excellent shape, and bid fair to re-
main SO. Affairs are conducted on a
cash basis, and indications point to a
balance remaining, even after paying
the unprecedently high costs of the
present session of Court. The
School Boards finances seem, too, to
be in comparatively excellent shape;
the Treasurer showing facts and fig
ures to the effect that the teachers
will be paid as they file their reports,
after February 18th, proximo.
In addition, we specially thank all
Court officers for courteous treat
ment.
Signed, in behalf of the Grand
Jurors, on this 2Sth of January, 1898
