 In its report the grand jury took occasion to score the law officers, the report touching on this matter as fol- lows:
 Tn our two weeks service on this grand jury 1t has become very evident to us that the work of our police detective and sheriff forces Is very lax, in a great number of instances, DOT | dering on absolute carelessness.

Tt Is our opinion that the depart- | ments mentioned could materially as- sist in bringing to justice more of- | lenders of the law, than they have l heretofore and we recommend more vigorous attention to duty in future. The jury also recommended that the next Legislature take away the juris- diction of the justices of the peace as
 the jury reports that 1t finds them g
