ever criminal causes are be- | ing investigated before the grand jury, the grand jury must appoint a competent Stenographic reporter to re- port in short hand the testi- mony that may be given in such causes and reduce the same, upon the request of the county attorney, to longhand or typewriting. The services of such stenographer consti- tute a charge against the county. No other person is permitted to be present dur ing the sessions of the grand jury except the members, the county attorney, a stenogra- phic reporter and witnesses actually under examination, lor an interpreter; and no person must be permitted to present during the expres- sion of your opinions or giv- ing your votes upon any mat ter before you, except the county attorney. Your fore man may cause the county attorney to issue subpoenaS for the attendance of wit nesSeS or interpreters, and may administer oaths to the witnesses appearing. Any witness disobeying a subpoe- na so issued will be punished for contempt of court. The judge of the court will ac- minister the oath to the stenographer and interpreter in case you need either, be- fore either enter upon his duties. The reference to the county attorney in this charge and information ap- plies equally we'll to his duly qualified deputy.
 In order to find an indict- ment, at least twelve of your number must concur, and when an indictment has been found it must be indorsed "A True Bill" and the indorse- ment signed by your fore man and the names of the witnesses examined before

grand juror, except when re- quired by court, to wilfully disclose any evidence adduc- ed before the grand jury or anything which he himself or any other member of the grand jury may have said or in what manner he or any other grand juror may have voted, on a matter before them.
 Your oath further requires that you indict no person through malice, hatred or i'll will nor leave any person un- presented through fear, fav- or or affection, or for any re- ward or hope thereof. This requires you to. leave all bias behind you when you enter the grand jury room, and to discharge your whole duty fairly, fearleSsly and impar- tially. You have no right to permit your judgment to be influenced or controlled by any personal, religious or po- litical feeling. No personal, religious or political contro- verSy should have any abid- ing place in the grand jury room.
 The county attorney is your legal advisor and is al- lowed at all times to appear before you for the purpose of giving information rela- tive to any matter cognizable by you, or for giving you ad- vice upon any legal matter when you may require it, and he may interrogate witnesses before you when you or he deem it necessary. It is your
 
 duty to follow his inStruc- tions of matters of law, unless you should be instructed to the contrary by the court.
 The grand jury may, at all reasonable times, ask the ad- vice of the court, but unless such advice is asked, the judge of the court must not be present during your seS- sions. Upon the demand of the county attorney, when

 Your investigation of crimes is one-sided only; it goes to the guilt of the acus- led. You have no right to pre- .Sume that there will be evi- dence upon the trial of the case that will explain or con- tradict the evidence present. led to you in support of the charge. For this reason, however, you ought to be convinced from the legal evi- dence before you, unexplaln- ed and uncontradicted, that it would be sufficient to au- thorize a trial jury to con- Vict the accused of the crime with which he stands charg- ed before you should find an indictment against him.
 You are not bound to hear evidence for the defendant; but it is your duty to weigh all the evidence submitted to you, and if, in the course of your inquiries you have req son to believe that there is other evidence not presented to you, within your reach, which will explain away the charge under investigation, it will be your duty to order such evidence to be produced and for that purpose you may require the county attorney to issue process for the wit nesses.
 l call your particular at- tention to the secrecy which your oath imposes upon you. It means that whatsoever transpires in the Grand jury room must be kept secret, un- less you are called upon in a court of justice to disclose the same. Your own actions, the action of your fellow jur- orS, the action of the county attorney and the testimony before you, all must remain inviolate. This is due to the protection which the law gives to innocent men against whom accusations may De brought as we'll as to prevent the defeat of justice by in- forming persons of indict- mentS found against them, and thus, perhaps, permitting the guilty to escape; the court earnestly trusts that you will keep this charge in mind. Under our Penal Code it is a misdemeanor for any grand juror to wilfully disclose the fact of an indict- ment having been made for a felony, until the defendant has been arrested, and it is also a misdemeanor for any

GRAND JURY CHARGED BY THE
 JUDGE; BONDESSOE, FOREMAN

The entire quota of 16 grand jurors were in court yesterday to receive inStruc- tions from the court as to duties. Following is a list: :: lobe w. Barber, Oscar P. BondeSson, George F. Cot ton, John Ghiotto, Andrew Y. Greer, Edward D. Hodges C. A. Livingston, Edward Metcalf, Paul Moretti, David Fred Samuel, Earl B. Smith, E. L. Crane, J. w. Edwards, R. F. Gray, A. E. Johnson, J. M. Thacker.
 The last five on the list are those drawn by special venirs. Oscar P. Bondesson was named hy Judge Baxter as foreman, after which the following charge and infor- nation was given by the court.
 Gentlemen of the Grand
 Jury:
 You have been selected from the body of the people for the purpose of making an investigation of all public of- lenses against the laws of the state, committed or triable within the county of Yuma.
 The oath that you have ta- ken requires you to make diligent inquiry and true pre- sentiment make of all such matters and things as shall be given you in charge, or otherwise come to your
 
 knowledge touching the commission of such public offenSes, and that in all in dictmentS you shall present the truth, and nothing but the truth, according to the best of your understanding.
 The cases to be considered by you are those which will be given to you in charge by the court, those which will be submitted to your consid- eration by the County Attor- ney, and those which you, yourselves, may have cogni- Zance.
 It is not your province in considering preSentmentS, to determine whether the per sons thus accused have been the offenSes charged; that is the province of the trial jury. Your duty is to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to put the accused on trial before a trial jury. This evidence must be legal evidence, not hearSay, re- ports, rumors or conjectureS such evidence only as would be competent in a court of justice. It is your duty to receive no evidence in any charge under your in- veStigation, except such that is given you by witnesses

ne A. U. l1tSlnK uIllt above Bard has again, for the third time, suffered from a broken levee, and a great portion of. the 40 acres is un- der water. This land lies close to the river, and is the richest land to be found; but the government has failed to take adequate measures to protect the Bard settlers so that at least in some in- stances the land has not been reclaimed.
 We quote ore of the set tiers:
 You know how the Rec lamation Service advertised this land. A class of the very best settlers went in, all with some money. Now the facts are that the said land was swamp and never has been reclaimed. The year when the people on the MiSsissipp. were flooded We had to take our stock up on the leyee anc our land was sWamped some places two feet deep.
 We paid the government f55 per acre. The reclama- tion service huShed Up our claims, stating that they sure would get help for Us from he government. For four years we have all lost our crops every year in June anc July. It has cost me $40UL cash and many years of hare saving, and now they vii plaster my place with $35.3> per acre more.
 "IS there any possible show for us to get the Examiner tC help us
 Personally, we dare nOi mention oUr grievances, fol f we do the water tenders and ether employees are ap, to make life so disagfeeabi, for us that 1t would break { man.
 All 1 ask is that the Ex- aminer send us competent man or help Us get a compe tent one to look over ouI claimS-a man like Mir. Null holland.
 Out of 173 water gates not more than twenty are located where a practical irrlgaror would put them. When l get the water on my lowest cor ner the government has to bank up the ditcheS four feet to force it over my land, and, | of course, it has cost me sev- eral hundred dollars to con- meet and l am always fight ing breaks.
 If possible, let me know if you are the poor peoples friend, and 1 shall be glad to give you more data"
