ITALIANS WILL RAISE GRAPES THE GRAND JURrs REPORT
Plays No Favorites and EN-
bodys a Great Many
Pointed Suggestions.

To the honorable L. N. French, Judge
of the Eighth Judicial District Court:
We, your grand jury, heretofore en-
paneled, beg leave to submit the follow
ing report.
The State of Nevada VS.. D. P. Hous-
ton and w. d. Davis: Indictment found
against both defendants for gambling
The State of Nevada VS.. Albert Lind
say: Indictment found against defend
ant for burglary of sampling works
and also for burglarizing box car.
The State of Nevada VS.. Charles
Hammond: Indictment found against
defendant for grand larceny.
In connection with the case of the
State of Nevada VS.. Albert Lindsay, for
burglarizing a box car, we find that the
defendant was aided and assisted in the
commission of said offense by M. E.
Sanford, City Marshal of Fallon, Ne
vada, and Ralph dollhouse, Constable
of New River Township, who claimed
to act as officers for the purpose of
arresting and convicting the defendent;
and Charles Tooley, who claims to act
as an informer and that they did so act,
and we further find that said officers
were not justified in aiding and assist
ing defendant to the extent shown
in the evidence and we believe peace
officers should use their authority for
the prevention of crime, and should
neither aid or assist in the commission
unless it is shown that such crime
would have been committed without
such aid, and that it was absolutely
necessary for them to assist for the
purpose of detecting and convicting
criminal who has already been engaged
in the commission of crime.
Complaint having been made to the
grand jury that the City Council of the
city of Fallon, Nevada, has paid out
money from the city treasury in the
nature of refund of license fees col
lected, and it appearing from the evi-
dence that such payments were made
without authority of law, the grand
jury recommends that the city attorney
of Fallon examine into such payments
and take the necessary legal proceed
ings to recover the money so paid out
for the city of Fallon.
We, the grand jury. recommend that
s,,f Tho af ko TaIa
phone system that no discrimination in
rates be made between the residents of
the city and town and country districts
for residence phones.
1t having been brought to the atten-
tion of the grand jury that there are
residents and land owners of this coun-
ty who have no access to public high
way from their premises we recon-
mend that when a proper petition is
presented to the Board of County Com
missloners for the opening of road to
open such premises that the board pro-
ceed to open such road. without any un-
necessary delay.
The committee appointed by the
grand jury to investigate the places of
public amusement report that there
are places run in violation of law in re-
gard to exits and that the city officials
be authorized to look after the same.
