one matter Investigated by that body in the
presence of reliable witness. That witness
was not available or he should have been
called TO testify against the Juror who was in
contempt, l do not want to hear of any
grand juror telling of the matters brought
before the jury shall investigate II you
violate your oath"
Judge McCarty briefly covered the law in
the. various cases reported to the prosecutor to

identical to horse stealing; robbery three
cases OF burglary; one charge of keeping saloon
open on Sunday; shooting with intent to kill;

been sold.
The officer followed Jordan and ar

! In regard to the provision for ar as
sistant for the County Superintendent
of Schools, the request is made on the
! ground of necessity, and has been
made before.
| There are about seventy-five school
districts in the county, and the law
provides that the County Superintcnd-
ent shall visit and examine each school
at least once a year. As matter OF
| fact, he has to visit some of them
oftener, and at the best it takes close
| to four months of his time, during
which he is compelled to be absent
from his office, and those who wish to
! transact business connected with the
schools are forced to wait for his re-
| turn, which often works a hardship.
These are the reasons given for asking
