The new 1910 grand jury has been
drawn, held short session and ad-
journed. It is perhaps the most rep
resentative body, on the whole, ever
selected in the county.
w. G. Ruddell, the Lovelock gang
representative, was appointed fore
man, although he had previously asked
to be excused. In making the appoint
ment Judge Mitchell, with charming
naivette. stated that he had been "ad-
vised'' that his appointee was man
of wide experience in county matters,
which fact was not disputed, and the
learned Judge did not see fit to dis
close the name of his advisers. In the
selection of the committee chairmen it
is possible that Foreman Ruddell was
also advised. The unimportant com
mittees ON county buildings and roads
and bridges were entrusted respective
! ly to John G.. Taylor and Richard
Barry, while that of county officers was
given in charge of A. F. Trousdale
father of the present incumbent of the
clerks office.
| After all was set, everything wen,
through with a rush, presumably in or
der to save the county the terrific ex
pense of approximately $50 per day
One by one the committees reported
and all went swimmingly until the
committee on county officers had re.
ported, when it is said long howl
went up. In quick succession the three
amendments quoted above were offer.
ed and adopted by practically unani
nous vote.
A perhaps rather significant sentence
is contained in the original report OF
this committee, which reads:
"All fees of each Office are NOW
remitted and paid to the treasurer ur
to the first of April, 1910.'
In the same committees recommen
dation regarding the employment OF
an expert to check up the county Of
fcers. it does not suggest that "a now
resident be employed for that pur
pose, as adroitly claimed by the Local
organ in its published report of the
proceedings of the body, but rather
that a NONRESIDENT be employed
for that purpose. The grand jury evi
IDENTIFY did not care to pay local ex
pert several hundred dollars for ap
plying generous coat of whitewash tc
all of the officers, perhaps having beer
influenced by the committee on public
buildings. which recommended thai
only the walls of the several Offices bt
kalsomined.
The report in full is as follows:
To the Honorable Thomas Mitchell
presiding Judge of the Second Judicia
District Court in and for the County
of Humboldt, State of Nevada.
