And have examined and ignored the
case of the Territory VS.. John Barnes
held to answer on the charge of Grand

And we have examined into and ig.
nOred two complaints of Grand Lar

Committees were appointed to ex-
anime and investigate the affairs of
the various county officers:
The committee appointed to investi,
gate the Treasurer's Office found the
affairs of that office in good condition,
the books kept in buslueaS-like man
ner, and the office Leaf and orderly.
The money held by the Treasurer was
counted and fuG! d to correspond with
the accounts a, ohOwa by the books.
The committee on the Sheritf's office
reports that it ha> examined the books
and accounts kept by the sheriff and
finds that the receipts for monies col
lected and paid over to the Treasurer
correspond with the balarces therein
shown.
In the matter of collecting gambling
licenses it has come to our notice that
the law is not strictly enforced in
many cases, and we recommend that
more stringent measures be taken
hereafter in making such collections.
Our examination of the County Jail
disclosed the fact that it was well kept
and properly ventilated, but is evil
IDENTIFY inadequate to the county's
of Supervisors that a calaboose be
erected, or some adequate provision
m ide for the confinement of inebre-
lates and other petty offenders, near
the business center of Kingman, thus
preventing the present Jail from being
overcrowded, as is frequently the case.
officer, it is at the present time, very
inconvenient to convey the prisoner to 1
the county Jail, and when only one Of |

case, the town is left unprotected while |
said officer is engaged in taking such :
prisoners to the county Jail.
The records in the District Attor.
ney's Office were found to be carefully !
and accurately kept; the county prop |
erty in good condition and the Office
economically kept, and administered |
in the interest Of the public Especial |
attention is called to the fact that by
means of an attachment suit seven !
hundred and fifty dollars was collect |
ed by the District Attorney, on the
forfeited bail bond of one Harry Gray,
since the meeting of the last Grand
Jury.
The committee appointed to investi- |
gate the office of Probate Judge, who

manner.
The affairs of the County Recorders
office, as reported by the committee, |
were found in excellent condition, and
the receipts of the Office for the first
three quarters of the year 1899, col |
lected and turned over to the Treas
urer amounted to 1629.2OS, showing
an increase in the business of said Of |
flee over any previous administration
of the same, in the same length of
time.
Complaints having been made to
this body, as to the condition of af. !,
fairs at the County Hospital, and the
manner in which that institution has
