Utah and Salt Lake. 1t is therefore
up to you people to see that the Col

be on the map.
III Colorado thinks for moment
Utah is going to accept this road on
a desert, show the eastern public two
hundred miles OF the worst country
within our borders-bring the tour
lists over a stretri of territory that
will be an everlasting knoA on the
state-appropriate state fund to
build highway that will benefit
tourists alone, while tax-paying res
idents in other sections are crying
for good roads, in order that Colorado
may use u road 1t has already con-
structed-side track its desert lands
and put on its best clothes for the
tourist, regardless of the fact that 1t
will send him nearly hundred miles
farther-then you gentlemen in Col
orado have another guess coming.
Let's play the game on the square,
meet each other half way. Utah is
willing and Colorado will have to be
willing, or we won't get in the game.
I'VE have at the present time a
highway built from Salt Lake to
within about ten miles OF the Colo
RADIO state line, via Vernal. 1t has
been used for nearly year now, and
is in better condition than your cross
state highway. The people of the
northwestern part of Colorado have
petitioned for a road to connect with
this, but their prayers have been nn-
heard because Colorado had another
axe to grind. 1t would perhaps give
the tourist touch of desert country
in your state, which might reflect on
Colorado, so let Utah be the goat"
We have a little desert of our own
out in western Utah, which keeps us
busy explaining without taking on
the troubles of Colorado.

hurrah and the Hoosiers came

DEPUTY CLERK At
ANSON IS ARRESTED
ON SERIOUS CHARGE

The case of defalcation of Deputy
County Clerk, j. E. Tyson OF Jones
county, referred to in the Signal last
week was even more serious than at
first reported. From what can be
learned of the matter, Tyson has been
a man we'll considered I'm his county
and lacked only few votes Of being
nominated last year for county clerk.
Since the election he has been n de-
putty i'm the office. It is said that he
Is charged with drawing county war
rants, payable to fictitious names or
rather to names of men in the county
with slight changes in initials. It is
said that he would take up these war
rants and sell them to st. Louis
brokers and the Irregularities were
not discovered until short time ago,
although the operations extend back
for quite a while.
An examination OF the books has
been made and the alleged opera
tions reach about $500, about
500 of which has not been paid.
The question now to be settled is
whether the St Louis brokers, the
county clerk or Jones county viii
have to bear the loss of the money
already paid

THE GRAND JURY
MAKES REPORT.
AFTER WEEK OF OELIBERATION
The Grand Jury Assembled Again
Last Tuesday and Finished Their
Work and Were Discharged.

Following is their report as render
ed to the district Judge
To Honorable Jno. b. Thomas, Judge
OF the District Court Of Scurry
county.
The Grand Jury having completed
its work now presents this as its final
report.
This body has been in session six
days and has investigated all of
fenses against the law and has made
diligent inquiry into all alleged viola
tions thereof called TO its attention.
Seventy eight witnesses have been
summoned and examined. AS a re-
suit of our deliberations we have
found four true bills for felony and
no misdemeanors. We have inspected
the iail and court house, the public
buildings of Scurry county. The jail
we find in good condition and empty
of prisoners. W. find the court house
is not kept in sanitary condition.
The basement rooms a number OF
them contain large quantity OF ac-
cumulated rubbish, consisting OF old
barrels, boxes, old papers and mis-
cellaneous trash and dirt, too numer-
Gus to mention, some of these accu-
mutations are highly combustible and
undoubtedly should be looked aiter
at once. There Is hardly a room in
the building that is kept as neat and
clean as II should be- We would sug-
gest that the proper authorities give
attention to this and find a remedy
therefor, as our county court house Is
too good a building to be kept In the
condition in which we found It by our
inspection.
We find that the office OF the dis
trict clerk is inadequately provided
for and would recommend that i'm
mediate provisions be made by the
Commissioners court to supply said
Offlro WITH kulllNltuA HhNA'A'+'
fling cases to accommodate the tax
ing care of records and papers OF TINS
important office It is practically I'M
possible for the clerk Of said court TO
properly take care Of his business
with the insufficient facilities at his
command
We find the matter of crime In our
county is as nominal as could be eN-
pected in proportion to population u
Is almost an Insignificant matter ana
with continued enforcement OF aI'
the laws as we find they are being en-
forced It is our hope that the same
will remain at minimum. Having
finished our labors and thanking ihe
court and all who have rendered us
assistance in the transaction oil our
business. we ask to be finally dis
charged
