A REPORT ON THE COUNTY INFIRMARY.
The Board Finds Inmates Poorly Cared For
and Recommends a Change.

The board, by it's committee, in
spected the county infrmary on June
4, and beg leave to submit the follow
ing report:
CD We find at this time 20 per-
sons being cared for, 8 men q ne
gro) and II women 6 of them ne
groes). The county physician reports
three of the men to be epileptic, one
of them being apparently congenital
idiot. Of the women, two are idiotic,
and one other subject to recurring at
tacks of dementia. 1t is the iudg-
ment of the county physician that
constant association with these un-
fortunates exerts a bad influence on
the other inmates, and the board
atrongly recommends that they be re-
moved to the state institution provid-
ed tor their care and treatment, as
the law requires.
(2) We find a lack of proper fac
ilities for flushing the closets, and
keeping them in a clean and sanitary
condition. A part of this is undoubt-
edly due to the insufficient water
supply. Such a state of affairs is
dan gerous to the health of the in
mates, and should be promptly and
thoroughly remedied.
(3) Of the % acres of land at
tached to the institution the super
intendent reports only 4 under culti-
vation. The board is of the opinion
that the area of cultivation should be
largely increased, and the labor of the
sound inmates used
thereon.
(4) The board is Of the opinion
that the food and clothing supplied to
the inmates, while insufficient in
quantity and poor in quality, is per-
haps all that can be expected as long as
The court pursues the policy of farm
ng out the contract for the care of
The county destitute to the lowest
bidder. The board unanimously con-
lemns such an arrangement as one
whose onl y merit Is a false economy.
The board understands that the
present superintendent, according to
;he terms of his bid, is allowed each
week two dollars and some cents for
zach person. Out of this sum he
must feed and clothe one person, and
llso withdraw one.twentieth of his
'wn weekly income. In the hands of
n unscrupulous man it can be readily
cen how the destitute wards of the
ounty could be made be to suffer.
'he board does not prefer any
harges against the present manage
1ent, but most unhesitatingly con-
emns the principle as radically
alse and vicious one, unworthy the
ignity and character of the people Of
linn county, and urges the court to
dopt some other scheme at the ex-
iration of the contract of the present
lperintendent.
Respectfully submitted,

for feeding cattle owned by Mitchell
and for doing other work on the farm.
Mitchell went TO the farm. and. call
ing Devonshire out of the COW barn,
asked him if he was the originator of
the story. Devonshire admitted that
he was. Mitchell denied that he owed
the money. TO this Devonshire re-
piled: You are Il -- liar" Mitchell
reiterated his charge Devonshire
grabbed n iackknife. and Mitchell, try
ing 10 defend himself, was stabbed in
the left arm Devonshire again went
after Mitchell and the latter drew a
32-caliber revolverand fired three shots
at Devonshire. They took effect in
the head. killing him instantly.
