JUDGE FRANK
 BAXTER'S COURT
GRAND JURY MAKES IMPORTANT REcoMM ENDATIONS AND CON- CLUDES.

The grand jury of the Superior Court adjourned Saturday noon, April 27, having as shown by their final report, considered 30 cases, finding 20 indictments, and ignoring 10 of the charges, and in the course of their proceedings having examined 70 wit nesses. This is the heaviest calendar of business ever turned out by grand jury in Yuma county. In reporting upon the condition of the County Jail, the grand jury stat ed that they found the cement floor of the lower cell, in poor sanitary con- dition, and recommended that a new coat of cement be given it. The re- port further continues: '1n the course of our proceedings, matters and things have been brought to our attention which lead us to make the following recommendations
 "1. That all Peace Officers be re- quired to wear in a conspicuous place their stars or badges, at all times while on duty. 2. That the Yuma County Board of Supervisors be requested to adopt an ordinance regulating automobile traf- fife on the public roads of Yuma Coun- ty, designed to safeguard the lives and property of the travelling public" The jury found to the effect that the food furnished prisoners in the jail was satisfactory in both quantity and quality.
