Report o. Grand Jury.
Territory Of New Mexico, county OF

vember term, 1905.
To the Honorable w. J. Mills, chief
justice. etc.
The grand jury Of the above term
OF the district court Of San Miguel
county. beg leave to submit the fol-
lowing final report:
We have been In session for Z
period Of nearly three weeks, and, dur
Ing that time have examined = very
large number Of witnesses. and inves-
tigated very many alleged offenses
against the laws. In S3 OF the cases
We deemed the evidence sufficient to
justify an indictment, and have return.
ed true bills to the court. In 3 cases
investigated BY us the evidence was
not sufficient to justify Us In finding
IN indictment. and we have returned
no true bills. A list Of such cases II
herewith returned for the information
Of the court.
In accordance with the charge given
us by your Honor we made the best
investigation possible for US into the
unlawful cutting Of certain fences IN
San Miguel county. We examined sew.
eral witnesses In this matter and
called before us all witnesses whom
we were informed might be able to
give evidence In this matter. The
members Of the grand Jury manifest.
ed the greatest zeal in their endeavors
to ascertain the parties guilty Of this
offense, and we regret to report to the
court that we were unable to obtain
evidence sufficient to justify us In re.
turning indictments against any per.
sons. We trust that by the next term
Of this court the matter may be again
investigated with possibly a better
result.
The grand jury In a body visited
the county jail, inspected It thorough

prisoners there confined. We are
glad to be able TO report that the
Jail is In an excellent condition, ex
tremely well kept, clean, and as much
liberty Is given to the prisoners as Is
consistent with their safe keeping
None Of the prisoners had any com
plant to make Of the treatment which
they are receiving. We think that
the sheriff Of this county. and the
jailor who has immediate charge OF
the jail are 10 be congratulated upon
this condition. We also inspected the
court house. and find II In good con
dition, excepting the basement: the
plumbing in the basement Is In bad
order and we recommend that II be
called TO the attention Of the board
Of county commissioners for their
action.
On the whole we take pleasure In
reporting that the county Is free from
