Grand Jury Report

Hon. George 8. Brown, judge of the
Fourth Judicial District of the State of
Nevada, in and for the County of
Elko.
We, your jury, impanelled this 18th
day of January. A. D. 1909, respectfully
submit the following reports
We have had presented for our con-
sideration three (3) cases of grand
larceny, one of embezzlement, one of
grand larceny and embezzlement, one
of assault with deadly weapon with
intent to infiict bodily injury, ten (1O)
of passing checks with intent to de-
fraud, having insufficient money with
drawee to meet them.
We have found true bills in the three
grand larceny cases, ignored the en-
bezzlement case, and the case of grand
larceny and embezzlement. Found O
true bill in the case Of assault with q
deadly weapon with intent to infiict
bodily injury, and true bills in the ten
cases of passing checks with intent to
defraud, having insufficient money with
drawee to meet them.
This grand jury, being more in the
nature of a special grand jury, and one
drawn to dispose of the criminal cases
now pending, we did not consider it
necessary to make the usual examina-
ton of the books of the county officers
and the condition of our public build
ings. The general grand jury in last
October investigated as usual, and we
are informed that there is to be another
grand jury early in the spring, which
will probably make the usual investi-
cation.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

roach the diseased portion of the ear.
There ID only one way to cure deafness,
aud that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it IS en-
tirely closed, Deafness rs the result,
and unless the inflammation can be ta-
ken out and this tube restored TO its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
