HENRY FREuDENTHAL,
Foreman.
To the Honorable Members of the
Grand Jury-We, your Committee
on Public Buildings, respectfully
beg leave to submit the following
report;
We find on inspection that the
Court House is in bad condition,
and would require large amount
OF money to put it in good repair,

possible have the partitions repaired,

To the Foreman of the Grand Ju-
ry of Lincoln county New, April sit
ting 1899,-We, your Committee ap-
pointed to investigate, and report
on the condition of Indigents or
County Poor, beg leave to submit
the following;
We find thatithe Indigents of the
towns of Pioche and DeLamar are
kept at the county expense, at a
greater cost than is necessary for
same, than if some person could be
engaged to take care of them on
ranch at some convenient and health
locality in the county. Some of
the Indigents are now being kept
at Mrs. McGuffey's ranch, doing
we'll and are satisfied. The place is
farm and healthy and we urgently
recommend that the Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners take steps imme-
diately to remove all Indigents from
said towns of Phoebe and DeLamar,
and state for our reasons, the follow
ing: 1st 1t will be much less ex-
pense to the county.
End. 1t will prevent those Indi-
gents who are addicted to the use of
liquor, from being a nuisance to the
communities in which they live, and
will prevent, in great number of
cases of sickness caused by excessive
use of liquor and the necessity of
hiring nurses at great expense, in
many cases. All bids for supplies
to Indigents, should be carefully ex-
amined before being allowed, and
only wholesome food and substantial
clothing should be ordered or paid
for by the Commissioners and no lux
uries OF any kind should be paid for
by said Commissioners, by order of
Committes,-Jas. Gibson, Gilman.
Phil. Beck and Joseph LAM.
To the Foreman and memb bers of
Grand Jury of Lincoln county, New.
April sitting 1899:
Whereas, it appears on good and
sufficient evidence that there are in
various parts of the County, practices
against and contrary to the laws of
the State and against the good order
and morals of the community-towit
1st.-The allowing miners in saloons
and gambling houses, and we de-
mand that the Sheriff and Dist. At
torney, enforce the law in such cases
strictly, and prevent such practices
in the future.
2nd.-Selling liquor to Indians, we
urge the Officers in this case to use
THEFT utmost endeavors to prevent
the "liquor traffic" to Indians and to
spare no expense to bring all parties
violating the above to justice.
3rd.-We find that large sum of
money has been squandered in Ash
Spring District No. 7, by negligence
and misconduct of the School Trus-
tees of said District snd we heartily
condemn such practices, as detri-
mental and injurious to the school
children of the District and our
School System in general.
4th.-We find that the School Trus-
tees of Pioche school District No. l.
have employed teacher, not quail
fed by law to receive public money
and that Legislation has been enact
ed by the representatives, on behalf
of the people in the vicinity and
within said District, authorizing The
employment of teachers who do not
comply with the laws. We therefore
condemn such legislation, as vicious
and condemn any Legislator who
voted for or urged such legislation.
We also condemn all parties, instru-
