ber of cases have been dismissed and
otherwise disposed Of. Judge Leib
in his fearless manner has made many
friends among those who wish for the
victory of law and order, and while he
has perhaps made few mistakes
they have been very few and the more
we see him perform the more we think
of his ability to do the right thing at
the right time. Politics cuts no ice
with him hut he is accommodating to
those deserving and deals leniently
with those who have made mistake
by accident or If the offense is the
first before his court. He is ably as
sisted by District Attorney Geo. +.

Report of Grand Jury
To the Honorable Thos. ID. Leib,
Judge of said Court:
We, the duly elected, qualified and
empanneled Grand Jurors of Quay
county, for the April Term, 1915, Of
said Court. do hereby respectfully
submit this our final report, and on
approval thereof by the Court, beg
10 be discharged from further attend
ance upon the Court.
We have been in session for five
days, during which time we have ex-
amined 30 cases. and have examined
a large number Of witnesses In con-
nection Herewith and have return
ed into Court twenty-three indictments
and seven no true bills.
We find that the laws of the State
are being generally obeyed in this
county.
We have examined into the Offices
of the County Officers and find that
the records are being kept in very
excellent condition; and that the Of
fcers are performing their duties, as
we understand them.
We beg leave 70 make the following
recommendation:
We recommend to the Commission
ers of Quay county, the installation Of
q toilet on the second floor of the
Court House, and further recommend
that the Grand Jury room he enlarg-
ed and altered, or that another room
be assigned to the Grand Jury sufii.
cient for It's use; the present meeting
place of the Grand Jury being wholly
inadequate and insufficient in size, and
In accommodations.
Upon thorough investigation we
have found that the recent raising OF
the cells, and other repairs on the
Jail, by the Commissioners, are a
great improvement over the old con-
ditions. We find the jail clean and
sanitary, and the Sheriff's records are
In good condition, but his Office is poor
iy furnished.
The Grand Jury would further rec.
ommend the heating of the court house
and Jail by some heating system OF
approved design, instead Of stoves
and submit that such system would
make for economy and comfort.
We extend our thanks to the Dis
