REPORT OF
GRAN DJURY

The district court was occupied to-
day with the trial of Roy B. Parsons,
the former clerk who is accused of
embezzling $42 from the funds of the
postoffice. At three O'Clock the wit
nesses for the government were still
being examined. 1t is understood that
the defense will offer a plea of tenn
porary insanity for the actions of the
defendant at the time the money was
missed. The government attorneys
are prosecuting the case, and H. M.
Dow is conducting the defense.
The Territorial Grand Jury made
its final report this morning and was
discharged With the last report came
six more true bills and three no bills,
making a total of ten true bills and
three failures to indict. The report
of the jury is a follows:
Report of Grand Jury.
To the Hon. William H. Pope, Judge
of the Fifth Judicial District, with
in and for the County of Chaves,
Territory of New Mexico:
We, the Grand Jury, for the Octo-
Der term, 1908, of court, beg to sub
nit to your honor the following re-
port:
We have examined into the various
complaints which have been present
ed to us for consideration.
We have also inspected the books
of the various county officers and we
f,,1 tIo ho
rectly kept.
We have inspected the Jail and the
prisoners therein, and we find the Jail
to be as well kept as the conditions
will warrant and the food provided
for the prisoners to be plentiful and
cleanly and that everything provided
for the prisoners is wholesome and
well prepared. The prisoners report
good treatment and all of them, seem
to be in a fairly good condition of
health.
We recommend that better facilities
for lighting and ventilation be provid
ed, and that there be general clean
ing of the jail and premises; that the
waste water be piped to sewers and
that the sanitation and surroundings
of the Jail have careful attention.
We further recommend that better
and larger rooms for the different ju-
ries'be provided, as the present rooms
are entirely too small.
And now having finally completed
our duties, we beg to be discharged.
r. F. BARNETT, Foreman.

nothing, but will do more good than
harm, for the moisture is needed to
make winter grass. Next to rain, it
was the best thing that could happen
