Justice Minturn presided In the abb
sence of Justice Charles w. Parker
who is i'll. In charging the grand
inquest Justice Minturn said there
were no cases of exceptional import
ance which 1t was necessary to call
especial attention to. He made the
usual explanation of the duties OF
the grand jury and told them that it
was only through the grand jury that
the courts, prosecutors and lawyers
are able to uphold the law, impress
of bringing in indictments or the
courts could do little to uphold law
and order
That the judges, prosecutors and
lawyers were sometimes criticised fol
laxness in upholding the law was
the case but asserted that the fault
really lay with the grand juries. The
administration of law and order In
any community, said Justice Minturn
was good, bad or indifferent accord
ing to the calibre of the grand jury
of that community.

kOUNTZE BARN BURNS.
Sunday Afternoon Fire Destroys Prop.
erty Worth $1,000.


Fire of unknown origin Sunday af-
ternoon destroyed the farm barn,
straw loft and corn crib at "Delbar-
ton," Luther Kountze's country home,
on Mendham road The blaze was
discovered just after one O'Clock in
the straw loft few feet from the
farm barn. Aid was asked of the
Morristown fire department and Chief
Day, Assistant Chief Sharrette and
several other firemen went to the
Kountze place on the auto chemical
engine. The firemen arrived just a
minute too late to save the farm
barn. Just as they arrived window
in the end of the barn towards the
straw loft was broken by the heat
and the fire swept through the upper
part of the barn. The firemen con-
fined their efforts to saving the farm
house and were successful.
There was some delay in getting
out the auto chemical. Chief Day
when appraised of the fire tried to
telephone to the house of Independ-
ent Hose company but could not get a
connection. He then jumped in his
auto and went to the house only to
find no one there. Cranking up the
auto chemical the chief left the house
with the machine and waited on the
corner of Park place and Washington
street for five minutes to get crew
to work the machine.
Twelve horses In the farm barn
were rescued, but three of them, af-
ter being turned out in pasture, re-
turned te-the. burning building and
had to be saved over again. Agri-
cultural implements in the farm barn
together with several tons of hay and
many barrels of potatoes were burned
and tons of straw and the well filled
corn crib all made food for the
flames. The property loss will ag-
gregate $4,000.

& Smethers, well borers, informs us
that they now have contracts for
boring so wells IN Bear Lake and
Star valleys, with prospects of the

They have just finished the contract
of boring test holes for the Telluride
Power company, along the line of
their proposed canal from Bern to
the dixie and from the latter point to
Dingle. These drills were made for
the purpose~of ascertaining the ma
ture of the soil at various depths, SO
that the company might better de-
tern,ine the depth Of their canal.
Mr. Dennis also informed us that
he intends to either purchase a home
in Montpelier or buy lot and erect
"a home, as he is confident that they
will have business enough in this
section to keep them busy for the
next two or three years.
