Prompt Work
Saves Building

On Wednesday morning when court
was about to convene it was noticed
that the Spencer building in which
court was being held, was burning near
the fue in the ceiling. 1t was impos-
sible at first to throw water on the
burning timbers, but after chopping
hole in the roof and allowing some of
the smoke to escape, water was ap-
piled and the fire extinguished. In the
meantime the furniture had all been
removed, as it had appeared that the
building was doomed. Prompt work
was all that saved the building.

appointment in Willard last Sunday
night, but upon arriving there, found
that the school house-the only
suitable building there-had been clos
ed to all public meetings or gatherings,
and was compelled to postpone his SER
vices indefinitely.
1t appears that the furniture has
been ill-used at some gathering, and as
a result the building is to be used only
for school purposes. This is about as

guiding was completed through the aid

FINRL, REPORT
OF GRIND JURY
Find Many indictments. Probate Clerks Books
Badly Kept.

Territory Of New Mexico, IS
County of Torrance. %
In the District Court, SIKH Judicial
District.
The Honorable Edward A. Mann,
Judge of the District Court of the
Sixth Judicial District in and for the
county of Torrance.
We, the members of the grand jury
duly impaneled and sworn, at the
special February 1907 term of said
court to inquire Of offenses committed
within said county, do hereby respect
fully submit this our final report.
We convened on the 4th day Of Feb
ruary, 1907, and have continued in ses-
sion continuously from that date until
and including this 10Th day of Febru
ary, 1907, with the exception of Sun
days.
During our deliberations we have
examined one hundred and twelve wit
nesses and returned into this court
from time to time thirty four true bills
and twenty one not true bills.
We have investigated all parties who
were in custody of the law, having been
bound over by the magistrates or JUS
tices of the peace to this court to
await the action Of our body and we
have likewise considered all charges
against persons who had been bound
over to this court and were upon bond
awaiting the action of our body. And
we have also investigated all charges
of offenses committed against the laws
of this territory within this county and
of which evidence has been produced
before US or could be obtained.
We have investigated the official
records in the office of the Probate
Clerk and ex-officio Recorder and find
that the record of retail liquor licenses
and gaming licenses is incomplete and
not kept in satisfactory manner. We
further find that portion of the off
cial minutes of the proceedings Of the
Board OF County Commissioners are
written in Spanish and a portion there
Of in English and that large number
Of said minutes are not authenticated
by either the Chairman or Clerk of
said board.
We also find that it is the habit of 3
number of peace officers in this county
to carry firearms under circumstances
and conditions not sanctioned by law.
The grand jury has also found from
an inspection OF the files In the office
of the Probate Clerk that the Justices
of the Peace Of said county or a great
number thereof have failed to file quar-
terly reports of fines and costs taxed
and collected by them as required by
section 1892 of the Compiled Laws of
1897.
It has also been brought to our at
tention that in, several instances JUS
tica5 Of the Peace have apparently
favored their relatives in the matters
of cases brought before them wherein
such relatives were parties.

ward A. Mann, Judge of the Sixth
Judicial District Court, sitting in and
for Torrance county, adjourned the
court until the second Monday in June,
at which time the petit jury will
report for duty, and all those
having cases pending will be expected
to appear The case of Jap Clark and
w. A. Mexican, charged with the muir
der of James M. Chase, was set for
trial for Tuesdas morning, but owing
to the absence of important witnesses,
postponement was asked, and reluct-
antly granted by the court. The fact
that the meeting of the Supreme Court
made it necessary that Judge Mann be
in Santa Fe next week, together with
the desire on the part of the court to
make the court funds go as far as pos
sible, were given as the reason for the
adjournment until June 10th.
Matters in court have been carried
on with prudence and yet with all pos
sible speed, avoiding haste, and the
Court has made friends on all sides by
his dignifed and sagacious, yet un-
sophisticated and unbiased manner
