Clerk.
The charge has been brought to the
notice Of this grand jury that diseased
cattle have been butchered aud the
meat sold In this county. While thus
act does not come within the province
Of a grand jury, vi earnestly recon-
mend that the proper officers Of Elko
County make some investigation into
this practice.
We find that the various county OF.
ticers are much hAmpered by insufficient
Office room. The present Court house
is antiquated and too small for the
proper transaction Of the business Of
the County and the District Court.
Nearly every grand jnry for a number
OF yGars has recommended the need OF a
court house.
We earnestly recommend that the
voters OF the County be given an oppor-
tuDity to express their WI hrs by a vou.
for a bond is. uc, to the end thai the

ALIO'S C0UNTRYMEN
 BELIEVE HE IS INSANE
The Case O. the Denver Murderer Will
 Go 70 the Jury at Noon.

Denver, March 1.-The hearing of evidence in the trial of Giuseppe Alio, charged with murder in the killing of Father Francis Leo Heinrichs at the altar of St. Elizabeth's Catholic church on the morning of Februar,- 23 last. was continued this afternoon
 The prisoner himself was not placed upon the stand. The defense called only two witnesses. Dr. Joseph Cuneo. formerly Italian consul in Denver. and Dr. Baron Gustave Tosti. the present local representative of the Italian gov ernment.
 Both testified as physicians. all though Dr. CuneO acknowledged that he was -ot an expert in mental dis eases. He testified that he had not had tine to form an opinion of the sanity of the prisoner. while pr. Tosti said that he believed AliO was insane from the simple fact that he killed his victim without motive.
 No evidence Aiio is an anarchist or that he had ever been g member of any societ.- O. even that he had been a reader O. anarch;stic literature has been adduced during the trial To- morrow morning the attorneys will make brief arguments and the judge will deliver his instructions. IL is un- derstood that the case win % to the jury b-- noon at the latest.

THE FLEET AT MAeDALENA.

San Diego March IA wireless message has just been received late to- night by the Point Lama government wireless station to the effect that the big battleship fleet arrived off Mazda lena Bay early tonight. According to the message the ships will lay off Magdalena all night and proceed into the bay early in the morning.
 The news that the fleet has already arrived at Magdalena comes as d big surprise. The itinerary of the long voyage beginning from Hampton Roads on December 16 last. did /not call for the arrival of the ships at Mag dalena until Sunday so that with the arrival off the Mexican bay tonight the fleet is almost four days ahead of time It has been known for some weeks past that the big sixteen" would arrive gt the practicins ground ahead of time but il was never sus- peCted that such an excellent a show ing as this would be made
 An important fact about it is that most Of the four days gain in time was made on the last stretch of the voyage from Callao. Peru. Previous to the visit at that port the fleet had kept on the schedule. making the va riOus stops as called for in the itincr- ary.

WILL REST TONIGHT
 IN MAGDALENA BAY
The Battleship Fleet Less Than 200 Miles
 South Last Night
An Official Declaration Made Yesterday of the Squad rons Itinerary On the California Coast South of San FranciscO

san Diego, March 1.-The American battleship fleet under command of Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans is to- night less than 200 miles south of Magdalena Bay. Lower California and should put into that island protected harbeT late tomorrow afternoon Re- ports oi the fleets arrival will not be available however, even for the depart ment at Washington until some time during tomorrow night or Friday morning.
 The navy wireless station at Point Loma, which is equipped with the strongest instruments and Is in charge of the most capable of the navy's oper- ators has never been able to communi- cate with a vessel at Magdalena Bay until well after the setting of the sun The best work is done after midnight IL is explained that the light waves during the day overcome other i'm pulses of the wireless long distance efforts and communication by day is seldom maintained over a space of more than four hundred miles. Mag dalena Bay is 620 miles in an air line from San Diego.
 Point Loma station was in commu- nication with the fleet early this morn ing and again exchanged signals with the flagship Connecticut tonight. The exact position of the vessels was not indicated in the earlier dispatches which were strictly of an official na- ture in cipher but the ships are said to be maintaining ten and a half knots. This speed it is estimated here will bring them late today within less than 200 miles of Magdalena Bay

The battleship crews will probably be given a day or two of rest before target practice is taken up. RecoW target practice work will be done with only four ships an the range at one time but after it is completed there will be some battle tactics and fleet maneuvers with every ship in line.
 California coast cities were grstified today over the announcement of the tentative partial itinerary of the fleet from Magdalena Bay to San Francisco.
