time, but marines were landed to
hunt up the stragglers and there were
many to furnish amusement for the
crowd. Some are still here; saw
four a few moments ago that pa
triots (?) were furnishing champagne
for as fast as they could down it.
In general they behaved themselves
admirably; even the drunks we're
good humored drunks, although they
could have blown up the postoffice
without punishment from Los Ange-
les residents. Last night saw two
marines carrying drunk who had
lost his hat and was in complete dis
array. He did not object to being
dubbed nor dragged, but had cap
tured a dog that he hung on to
against all persuasion, and probably
took aboard. Another bunch Of 10 or
IL were being taken out on the pier
to their launch when one spied yell
low cat under bench. He promptly
threw his hand baggage at him and it
hit the ocean SO far above the cat
that he was not awakened. Imme-
diately half of them hit together in a
struggling pile where the cat had
been, but was then going along the
wharf as fast as cats can go. They
threw everything "throwable" at the
cat and finally cornered him on the
end of the pier. Instead of killing
him as hoodlums would have done
they resolved that his color was bad,
but he had given them noble chase
and left him as safe as before, except
decidedly awake. They had thrown
all that they had loose, mostly caps,
oranges and magazines, and were
pushed headlong into the launch.
When going out in the dark they
gave three cheers for Los Angeles,
and later three more for the yellow
cat. I was astonished to find such
little men as seamen in our navy.
All that I saw would not average five
feet seven inches. The commissioned
officers are mostly tall, the lesser Off
GERS seem to be the tallest left. The
discipline seems to be fine. I got on
the landing pier before the ropes were
drawn, SO had d close view. The
steam launches were going as fast as
they could nsahe ysiv tor each other.
Around IL o'clock the transfer was
back. A launch would arrive, q sar-
geant would yell for men for the Ohio
or Missouri and etc, and down they
would come. Later he would yell
"come down here Ohio'' and two or
three would struggle out Of the crowd
with half dozen sweetheart's hang
ing to them, dive through the awning
and subside. (They were calling the

Twenty.Seyen indictments Returned in
Eight.Day Session.

To the Honorable Court:
We, the grand jury, beg to submit
the following report. Witnesses sum-
moned III; witnesses examined, 124;
Found 81 true bills.
We examined the books of the sher-
iff and chancery clerk, and found same
neatly and correctly kept, as far as
we know.
We have examined poor house and
find inmates well fed and houses neat
ly kept, although found some repairs
needed. Barn blown down; needs
new foundation; needs locks and 2
window lights and putty on residence
and one lock and the floor in white
department needs repairs. Some re-
pairs on roof needed. Jail in bad con-
dition, neither safe nor sanitary. The
wood work up stairs in prisoners de-
partment should be torn out and
should be lined with sheet steel and
steel beams should be put in, and a
concrete floor made. We recommend
that waterworks and sewerage system
be put in Jail. We recommend new
beds and at least change of clothing
for each prisoner. Also a thorough
Whitewashing thoroughont. Also a
new floor in dining room. We find
some of the iron bars rusted into at
iron window stills. We do not CEN
sure the jailer, as we think he is do
ing as well as could be done under
present conditions.
As many reports have come to our
investigation Of the public worship Of
the colored people being disturbed in
various ways and as there are no wit
nesses we have found it impossible to
bring the necessary BILL. We recon-
mend that the reliable good negroes
see who it is disturbing their worship
and have the guilty parties reported
to the magistrates. We recommend
that the minor cases bedisposed of by
the mayor and magistrates, as much
as possible, as we don't think the
grand jury's time should be taken up
except when necessary. MI \.
We especially recommend that the
supervisors do not pay the road con-
tractors until the roads are worked
according to specifications, and we
furthermore ask the citizens generally
to take notes as to whether their roads
are worked according to specifications
and, if necessary, report matter to
next grand jury.
We wish to thank all officers of the
court for their uniform kindness and
courtesy.
