Il has also been called to our atten-
tion that minors are being permitted to
enter certain saloons 10 our town; In
fact. some Of them being mere children.
are permitted to and do remain in
saloons. joining in the games. etc., found
in saloons.
At the present time there are in Eu.
reka one or more vagrants, commonly
called pimps. to-wit: every lewd male
person who lives in or about houses Of
ill fame. and we respectfully represent
to our Honorable Court that the officers
Of Eureka Township and of Eureka
County who have the enforcing Of the
laws relating to all OF the matters above
complained Of. and most particularly
the offices of Sheriff and Constable. are
open to the severest censure for the
lax. incompetent and grossly negligent
way in which these laws have been en-
forced in the past, and we respectfully
recommend that these officers be dis.
ciplined in such a manner as to insure
to the citizens of this town the strict
enforcement of all these laws in the
future.
While the conditions at the present
time are much improved, in comparison
to the past, it is persistently rumored
that as soon as this Grand Jury shall
have finished it's labors. that our town
will again be invaded and cursed with
repetition of the conduct hereinabove
complained of, and in anticipation of
this we hereby respectfully request the
Court to impress upon all those in
power to use their combined efforts to
speedily stamp out any attempt Of a
repetition Of the causes of our complaint.
We suggest to the County Com
missioners Of our County that they
pass such necessary measures at an
early date. with respect to the issuance
of licenses, that any persons per-
mitting women or minors to enter their
saloons as prohibited by law shall be
Immediately deprived of their license

may already be prescribed by law.
1t has been called to our attention
that hogs are allowed to run the streets
in and about Eureka that no pretense
whatever is made by the owners of said
hogs to comply with the law in regard
to keeping them penned mp; that they
congreRate under sidewalks where the
same will bring disease; that they
break into yards and destroy property.
We also find that cows and dogs and
other animals have the free run of this
town, and we suggest that the County
Commissioners shall pass such ordin-
ances. with the proper penalties at
tached. as will put an end to this partic-
ular nuisance.
We would call the attention OF the
proper officers to the fact that the or
dinance prohibiting the depositing Of
manure and rubbish in the big ditch
and on the streets is not being complied
with. and that the same should be
strictly enforced.
We find that minors pay no atten.
tion whatever to the curfew bell; that
they can be found congregating in
groups on the Main street in front Of
saloons after the curfew has rang; that
it has been brought to our notice that
minors in this town have been commit.
ting malicious mischief by breaking win.
dows. throwing eggs at business signs.
and in other ways making themselves
very obnoxious to the business com.
munity.
1t has been called to our attention
that drunken Indians are a common
sight on the public thoroughfares, and
that they congregate in vacant houses
and disturb the peace Of the surround
ing community.
1t has been called to our attention
that the law in regard to enforcing the
attendance of children of school age to
our Public Schools Of Eureka County
has been neglected. and we recommend
that the proper officers hereafter see
that said laws are strictly enforced.
We find on South Main street. ad-
joining the Tennis grounds, an old
brick building in very delapidated
condition; said building being q menace
to life and limb. We recommend that
the County Commissioners consider
this matter at their earliest date.
