The report in fun follows:

oldle OI COlOrauD, county OIL Mesa, SIS.
To the Honorable the Judge of the
District Court of the Seventh Judi
cial District, Sitting in and for the
County of Mesa, State of Colorado:
Your Grand jury, heretofore called
under open venire issued by the court
to the sheriff of Mesa county, begs
leave to report;
That at its sessions during the last
two weeks it has partially concluded
its investigation of the matters that
have properly come before 1t, and re-
ports at this time that 1t has found
and herewith returns unto the court
fifty indictments, charging violations
of the laws of this state.
Your grand jury reports further
that it has Investigated the affairs
of Mesa county, and we find that the
business of said Mesa county has
been, and is being conducted in
very loose and negligent manner, and
in many instances in manner which
may properly be designated as GRIM
inal We herewith append our re-
ports and recommendation upon the
various county offices as follows:
1st. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS:
That we, the grand jury. after care
full investigation, heartily endorse the
statements of the public examiner of
the state of Colorado that the affairs
of the county commissioners of Mesa
county have been for the last four
years, conducted in a loose and negli-
gent manner. We find that large
number of claims against Mesa coun-
ty have been allowed by the county
commissioners without being sworn
to as by law provided, or without
being properly itemized, or o. KID by
the board of county commissioners,
all as by statute required. We fur
ther find that the record of the do
ings and acts of the county commits
sioners has been very carelessly and
improperly kept. the record In many
instances being entirely silent as to
the business claimed to have been
done by the board. We find. furth-
er more, that it has been the custom
of the county commissioners to allow
and pay, illegally, an annual compen-
sation to a so-called purchasing
agent and to allow and pay for I'M
certified examination OF the books or
the county from year to year. Such
payments being illegal in our estima-
ton, we hereby instruct the district
attorney and the county attorney to
begin such action in the name of the
taxpayers of Mesa count as may be
necessary to recover Lack to the SAID
taxpayers from the county commits
sioners all money SO Illegally expend-
ed and paid out by the county COM
missioners. We find that the law
is positive that the acts of the county
commissioners cannot be excused on
account of advice given them by the
county attorney, but that they are
themselves responsible and account
able to the taxpayers for any unlaw-
full acts performed by them, not
withstanding any advice which may
have been given them by the county
attorney contrary to the laws of the
state. We recommend that the
county commissioners dispense with
the services of the present county at
torney and employ as county attorney
one who will give them better advice
than it appears has been given dur
ing the last three years.
The grand jury further sanctions
all actions heretofore begun in the in
terests of the taxpayers of Mesa

GRAND JURY REPORT IS
SCATH|NG REBUKE TO-
0.P. REGIME IN COUNTY
Indictments and SGOngs in Written Statement Were nex
peced; Were Result Of Unpublished Findings Of Auditor
Ready Kenehan Last Summer,
MORE severe condemnation of

A MORE severe condemnation of
"A the acts of the past republican
4 administrations could hardly be
imagined than that contained in the
report of the grand jury which ad-
journed its sessions Saturday night.
Although the gist of that report was
published in The Sentinel Saturday
night the full text of 1t is repeated
to-day.
The indictments returned against
the eX-county officials were not un-
expected nor were the multiplied true
bills found against the best known
land most prominent of our alleged
Dootleggers. That the county attor-
ney and the county engineer should
come in for such a scathing rebuke
was a surprise to all who were not
familiar with the unpublished results
of Auditor Kenehan's investigation.
II is known today that the major
portion of the facts adduced by the
auditor while here and assisted by
his public examiner were not given
out at that time but were reserved
for use before the grand jury.
One member of that body declared
that practically every man went
into the discharge of his duties with
the idea that there was more bum
combe than facts in the charges
against the couty officials but that
the incontrovertible evidence brought
before them by the district attorney
and various other witnesses convinc-
ed them of the urgent necessity of
the indictments and the reasonable
ness of the recommendations in the
report
