The grand jury yesterday filed an
other partial report with Judge
Brown, the document being of con-
siderable length and entering upon
several important matters. In full
this report is as follows:
We, the grand jury. find the hos
pital kept in a first class manner
under the present management. The
matron seems to be we'll qualified for
the position she holds, but is badly
in need of an assistant to take care
of the patients at night.
II appears that a night watch is
very essential On investigation we
find that a patient known as Kelley
and one commonly known as Blackey,
in a delirious state, escaped from the
hospital during the night. when the
matron was asleep, and the matron
can therefore not be blamed and is
in our Judgment eXonerated, having
been up with this patient Blackey the
best part of the night
We therefore recommend that the
county commissioners hire a eompe-
tent person as assistant who shall be
ex-ofiieio night watch. We further
recommend that the commissioners
have the hospital banked up with
prison labor, and sometime in the
near future site be obtained for a
regular county farm where the in
mates may be employed in raising
farm products.
The patients have the best of care
The attending physicians are able,
and very attentive TO the needs of
the inmates.
We recommend that the old COM
forters be destroyed by fire. That
the old blankets, sheets and pillow
cases be thoroughly renovated and
washed and used for the regular
boarders. That few beds be pre-
pared with new bedding throughout
and kept for emergency patients.
We also suggest that the regular
boarders be kept in one part of the
house, as far as possible from the
sick inmates.
That the commissioners hire or
cause to be hired carpenter for
the purpose of making such repairs
as Is necessary, in order to make the
house comfortable.
