THE GRAND JURY REPORTS
And the Various Committees Find
All the County Offices in Ex-
cellent Condition.

In the District Court of the
Third Judicial District of the
Territory of New Mexico, with
in and for the County of Socor-
70.
Socorro, N. NJ, June 9. A. ID.
1908
To the Honorable Frank w.
Parker. Associate Justice of the
supreme Court of the Territory
of New Mexico, and Presiding
Judge of the Third Judicial Dis
trict Court thereof:
Sir:
We your grand jury empanel-
ed at the regular June, A. ID.
1908, term of the district court
within and for Socorro county,
beg leave to report.
We we're duly empaneled on
the first day OF the term and
have been in session for eight
days. During that period of time
we have examined % witnesses,
have returned IS true bills and
Ii no bills. We have returned
true bills in all cases where the
evidence justified the finding of
an indictment and have returned
no bills in every case where We
thought conviction could not
be secured before trial jury.
We have not had night sessions
but the fact that we have work
ed on an average of AZ cases
per day and have examined on
an average of Il witnesses per
day, we believe will be received
by your honor as evidence of our
work.
The reports Of the different
committees appointed by the
foreman to examine the different
offices of the county are hereto
attached and made part of this
report, with the exception of the
Jail. Your grand jury visited the
Jail in body and examined the
sanitary and other conditions
thoroughly. The Jail is a poor
one, to say the least, both as to
sanitary conditions aud as to
safety; and we recommend that
some steps be taken by the
county commissioners either to
repair same or have a new Jail
built, the latter in our opinion
would be more satisfactory. We
believe the time has come when
a modern up-to-date Jail should
be had in Socorro county.
We desire to thank the Honor
able Court for the sound instruc-
tion given us, and the District
Attorney for his faithfulneSs; we
desire to thank the other officers
of the court for their uniform
courtesy and feeling that we
have complied with the duty inn
posed, desire to be discharged.
Respectfully submitted,
LEANDRO BACA,
Foreman of the grand jury.

SAN ANTONIO CELEBRATION
Will Be a Hummer, According to
Program of Events Now Map
ped Out.

A communication which reach
ed the Chieftain Office yesterday
morning from San Antonio says:
San Antonio, June IL.
To the Chieftain:
1t took five business men only
thirty minutes last night to raise
$1,000 to celebrate properly the
coming national holiday here.
1t was done so quick that it was
over before they expected it.
The meeting was held in the
private Office of Powell Stack
house, Jr., president of the New
Mexico Midland railroad and the
Carthage Fuel company. A
speech of only five minutes by a
well known business man here
convinced Mr.. Stackhouse what
was needed and he put his name
down for $500. Three other
business men put their names
down for 500 each and the con-
ceSSion did the rest.
The celebration is going to run
two days, July 4 at San Antonio,
where the main exercises are to
take place, and July 5 at
Carthage. Five baseball teams
belonging to the Socorro county
league will contest for a silver
cup. There will be balloon as
tensions, steer roping contests,
horse racing, burro racing, etc.
1t IS impossible. now for the
big celebration to fall down and
we want the whole of Socorro to
come early and STAY late Spec
ial trains will run all day from
Carthage to San Antonio both
Saturday and Sunday. There
will be two days of continuous
round of pleasure. A ride over
the New Mexico Midland rail-
road, The scenic railroad of New
Mexico, is we'll worth travelling a
hundred miles TO take. Super
intendent w. l.. Weber has prom
ised a ride down in the old Gov
erument mine over a mile deep,
the oldest coal mine in New
Mexico, worked by United States
soldiers in early davs, furnishing
coal for blacksmithing and fuel
purposes way back in the fifties.
Full program will be publish
ed i'll the Chieftain next week.
Respectfully,
