District Court of the 3rd, Judicial Dis

the Grand Jury especially charged them
relative to the laws concerning the
erection and maintaining OF guide boards
at the junction of the principal roads in
said county.
This Grand Jury has carefully investi-
gated the same and find that the report
OF the Grand Jury at its session held in
June, 1901, ascertained from the differ
ent members thereof where said guide
boarGs were necessary and made and
filed diagrams thereof with their final
report with the County Clerk OF said
County, and directed the same to be call
ed to the attention of the County Com
missioners of Lander County: which
said Clerk did at regular meeting of
said Board that said Board failed to act
thereon.
That thereafter the Grand Jury i'm
paneled December 1901, had the Board
of County Commissioners appear before
them personally and upon inquiry found
that they bad done nothing in the mat
ter.
Now upon the foregoing showing it is
resolved that copy of this report be
again submitted to the Board of County
Commissioners at their regular meeting
to be held June I'd, 1902, and it said
Board takes no action thereon within 60
days from said meeting that the District

the provisions of the law regarding the
penalties OF neglect in such case made
and provided. BY order of the Grand
Jury.
We further beg leave to report:
That we have examined into the mat
ter of Charles a. Richards charged with
selling whiskey to an ILdian and have
considered that it was for the best inter-
est to take no action thereon at this
time.
We have also made recommendations
to the County Commissioners in the
matter of repairing Jail and woodshed.
Also recommend that County Commis-
sioners look after water tunnels and
pipes and notify the Austii Water Co's.
Agent that they must put the water
pipes and tunnels in good condition, as
at present time they are menace to
health, aud in case of fire are wholly in.
adequate.
THIS Grand Jury has information that
certain parties in Austin have been sell
ing whiskey to minors in violation of the
statutes, and we recommend that the
officers of this County be especially
jealous in getting evidence in these
matters to present before the grand jury,
who will do their duty and SEQ that the
guilty parties are punished.
Recommended and resolved that the
foreman, j. A. Miller, appear before the
County Commissioners at their next
regular meeting and express the views
OF the grand jury with respect to the
erection of guide boards.
We have carefully investigated all
complaints that have come before US.
We found as follows in the following
cases:
State of Nevada vs.. Sylvestre Aurt-
enechea-Charge murder in the first de-
gree-A true bill.
State of Nevada vs.. Alex. Castro
Charge selling whisky to Indians-A
true bill.
No further business appearing at this
time, we make to your Honor this, our
final report, and adjourn without date.
