To the Hon J. T. Watkins, Judge of Sec
ond Judicial District Court, holding
sions in and for the Parish OF Bossier,
Louisiana:
We, the Grand Jury duly en-
pannelled for this term of your

report as follows:
That we entered upon the dis
charge of our duty, and have
discharged the same with care
and diligence, and with a full

While we have reported great
many true bills, we cannot say
that crime is on the increase in

We have examined seventy
eight of the eighty-six cases pre-
ented, and have found forty bills,
ignored thirty nine cases, and
have left seven cases in the hands
of the District Attorney, in which
we could not get the witnesses, SO
that he might examine and file
informations.
We have examined cases of a
special character and have found
a large number of true bills as
! result of said examination, ano
having finished all other business
except this of a special character
leave the matter in the hands ot
the District Attorney, that he may
file bills of information.
We have examined the Jail ant
prisoners therein, and find tht
same in a good condition and the
inmates we'll cared for. We hav'
also examined the offices of tn
Sheriff, Clerk, Coroner and Par
ish Treasurer, and find thei
books, records and Offices wei
kept.
| We wish to extend thanks t
your Honor, the District Attorney
the Sheriff and the Clerk, TO
courtesies and prompt assistanc
in the discharge of our officis
duties.
Wherefore, we pray that you
Honorable Court receive this, ou
final report, and that we be dis
