Grand Jurors PreSentment.

To the Honorable the Judge of the Circuit
Court Of the Seventh Judicial Circuit of the
State of Florida in and for Brevard County,
at the spring term thereof, in the year of
our Lord one thousand nine hun lTed and
two.
The grand Jurors inquiring in and for
the body of the county of Brevard at the
term aforesaid, beg leave to make this
our general presentment:
We feel gratified at the decrease in
crime of a serious nature in our county,
and that our people are law abiding, and
we welcome with delight the return of
prosperity to our people.
In making this general presentment to
your honor, We want to state most en-
phatically that our recommendations for
Improvements to the public buildings and
offices are not mere idle declarations, nor
made to suit the fancy of some disgrun-
tied office-holder, but they are made after
a careful examination into the matters,
and are the result of mature deliberatiOn
thereon; and We sincerely hope that the
board of county commissioners will not
simply order the same 'read and filed for
future reference" but that they will act
promptly upon the same.
First. The most important office to the
property owners and citizens of this
county is the clerks Office, for in it the
records of titles, the court proceedings
and all records are kept, and the people
frequently have to examine these records.
The building used for this office and the
preservation of the records is inadequate
in space and insecure, and the records
cannot be kept systematically nor safely
therein. We therefore urge upon the
county commissioners to either enlarge
and improve the present building in order
that it may prove adequate for the con-
stantly increasing business and to preserve
the valuable records, or to construct a
new one for such purpose. We feel that
this cannot be too quickly done, and the
people certainly will endorse the action OF
the board if they should act promptly,
and not merely make temporary i'm
provement, but one which will be perma-
nent and adequate.
Second. We recommend that secure
fence be built around the courthouse
grounds in order to keep ont stock, and
to keep the grounds in good condition.
Third. We have examined the offices
Except assessor and superintendent OF
public instruction. they being absent,
the latter on account of illness in family,
and find them as well kept as the circum-
stances will permit.
Thanking your honor and officers OF
the court for courtesies shown, We beg to
be discharged.

Weather Bound on an Island.

On Sunday Mr.. and Mrs. Dunnam and
children, Mrs. and Miss Mather, two
boys and three girls, and Wenzel and Os-
car Schubert, all went to the beach at
Mud creek, well known locality near
Ankona, with very pleasant weather at
starting. The boat was pretty well load
ed. After a while heavy norther came
up and the river had ugly seas on it, and
the party did not want TO risk the return
trip with the gunwale low in the water,
so they were weather bound on the island.
Hour after hour passed and they did not
return. The folks left at home became
anxious, not knowing what might have
happened, so at | p. IN. your scribe called
on Mr.. Walker, who kindly hitched his
horse to the wagon and we drove TO Mr..
McCarty's, where the safest boat could be
obtained, reused up the family, and
Messrs. Dan and Bryan McCarty very
generously got their boat ready and with
still very heavy wind blowing and sras
very high, We unswervingly steered for
Mud creek, where, when we arrived
there, We found the grown people of the
party seated comfortably around tire
and the children fast asleep in the fisher
mans shack, all hungry, however, a
they had nothing since dinner except a
few oysters and small muIlet wIrich op-
portunely jumped into the boat, hitting
one of the ladies on the head. The party
then embarked and We're towed across
the river by Mr.. McCarty's boat. On
the whole the trip was much enjoyed
though the folks were late in reaching
their beds, but a Shakespeare, or some
other old duffer, said: AIS we'll that
ends we'll
ASKONA.

Jensen, Eden and Fort Pierce We are in

CONFESSES TO A CRIME.
Mysterious Disappearance of Noah
Long of Argentine, Kan, is
Cleared Up.

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 1o.-Rhoda
Taylor made a written confession to
the police of Argentine, Kan, across
the river from here, Saturday, that
Noah Long, the aged stonemason, who
disappeared mysteriously from his
home there a week ago Saturday, had
been robbed and his body thrown into
the Kaw river. Long was an old sol
der, and had drawn 1910 pension
money from the bank on Thursday
last. He visited saloon in Argen-
tine that night, which was the last
time he had been seen. Saturday the
police were searching for the body in
the river, which, except at the place
where it is alleged he was thrown in,
is covered with thick ice.
Donohue, Dave Moran, nephew of
the missing man, and the Taylor wom-
an were arrested on Tuesday last and
Golf was taken Saturday after she
had made the confession. All live in
the bottoms along the river. Friday
night Moran attempted to commit SUI
icide by cutting an artery in his wrist.
The nature of the charge against Mo-
ran is not known.
