Friday afternoon the Wilbur

pleased that they not only re-

times and attempted to recall
them the fourth, when the man

they intended to be at the Chau-

REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY
For the December, 1907, Term of
District Court for Socorro
County.

Following is the report of the
grand jury which was in session
all of last week:
We. the grand jurors for the
December term of court holden in
and for Socorro county, New
Mexico, at Socorro, beg leave to
report as follows:
That we commenced our work
of investigation into the affairs
of Socorro county into which it
was our duty to examine and
have remained in session six days
and have worked steadily and
diligently through all this time;
that we have examined carefully
a large number Of witnesses and
have reported bills where we
felt it our duty to do so without
fear or favor to anyone, and
have refused to indict where we
believed there was no chance for
conviction. We have returned a
few No Bills, owing TO the fact
that for some reason or other
process had not been served upo n
the leading and material witness
es, and we trust these cases will
be taken up by the District At
tornev at the next grand jury.
We have been treated with
consideration by the various Of
ficers of the court and by the
various county officials, for
which we extend our thanks.
We have examined into the
Sunday law and the gambling
carried on in this county, and
while a few guilty parties may
have escaped owing to our ina
bility to secure evidence against
! them, yet we have indicted in
every case where we had evil
dence that would warrant "A con-
viction. And here the grand
jurors desire to say that in the
future they hope that the sheriff
of Socorro county, whoever he
may be, will more closely attend
to his duties in regard to closing
up saloons run open on Sundays,
and gambling carried on in his
county without having a license
for same so that similar indict-
ments in the future will become
unnecessary.
The foreman of said grand
jury duly appointed various COM
mittees to examine into the var
ious offices of said county and
their reports are herewith ten
dered to the Court.
We further desire to say that
Socorro county should feel con-
graduated upon the fact that
there has been no very serious
violations of the law that has
come to the attention of the
present grand jury. Now, hav-
ing closed our laborS, we trust
that they have been satisfactory
to the Court and ask that we
may be dismissed from further
duties.

Foreman of the grand jury,

NATIONAL CONVENTIONS
Several Cities Of the Country Con-
tend for Honor Of Entertaining
Them.
CHICAGO AND DENVER CHOSEN
The Former for the Republican and
the Latter for the Democratic
Gathering.

The republican and democratic
national committees have fixed
the time and place for the hold
ing Of the next national conven-
tions.
Several cities were candidates
for the honor of entertaining
these great and historic gather
ings and their respective claims
were urged with great insistence.
Chicago won the republican
convention and the date set for
the nomination of the next presi-
dent is June 10. The windy city
will put its great auditorium in
to first class condition to accom-
modate the delegates and the
thousands of visitors who will
gather to see the convention do
its work.
Denver won the questionable
honor of being the scene of the
nomination of the loser. The
city has a new auditorium that
cost half million dollars and is
capable of holding fourteen
thousand persons. The date set
for the assembling of the demo-
cratic convention is July 7.
