The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1917-12-01

of the State of Nevada, in and for
the County of Eureka.
We. your Grand Jury empanneled
by your Honor and assigned to duty
on the 21st day of November. A. d.
1917. having investigated all cases
submitted and all public matters
brought to our notice by the District
Attorney and others, do now submit
our report.
State of Nevada VS.. J. j. Tognoni
Charge. Attempting to convert
property belonging to an estate to
his own use-A true bill.
We recommend that the Sheriff of
this County make a demand on R. A.
Laird for the possession of the Sill
yer Banner, presented to Eureka
County by the late Senator Nixon for
its vote on the Silver question, and
if the said r. A. Laird refuses to
deliver the said banner to the said
Sheriff, that the District Attorney
take such legal proceedings as may
be necessary to have said banner re-
turned and placed in the custody of
the County Clerk of Eureka County.
Nevada.
We presented a document to the
Court which was duly filed.
The Grand Jury having investiga-
ted the minutes of the County Com
missioners. find that there was an
apparent attempt to deprive the duly
elected County Clerk and Treasurer
of his Office to which he was duly
elected by the electors of this Coun-
ty. 1t further appeared that suffi-
cient bonds had been filed, and that
the bonds were in proper form. And
that another person had executed a
bond for said Office expecting to be
appointed to the office of Clerk and
Treasurer of Eureka County which
took place before the Office was de-
clared vacant; this would indicate
that this other person had been Civ
en- some assurance of his appoint
ment long before it had been deter
mined whether the regularly elected
Clerk and Treasurer had failed to
qualify or not. Therefore be it re-
solved. that this Grand Jury censure
those who concurred in such action.
We, the Grand Jury. recommend
that the County Board of Health, the
Local Health Officer and County Ply
~sician, or any other person whose
duty it is to enforce the laws in re-
gard to infectious and contagious
diseases, do strictly enforce said laws
and rules and regulations as pre-
scribed by the State Board of Health.
Whereas; 1t is a matter of public
knowledge that within a few closing
days of the last Legislature of this
State, an abortive effort was made
TO abolish the Third Judicial District
Court by annexing Lander County
to Humboldt County, and Eureka
County to Elko County; and.
Whereas; Such a change would be
against the wishes and judgment of
the vast majority of the citizens of
said district; in fact. would not COM
mand the support of n per cent of
the people of Eureka County and
would be extremely prejudicial to
the interests of both counties and
could only have its origin in the spite
work or spleen of a few political NAL
contents;
Therefore, be it resolved that we,
the Grand Jury of Eureka County.
repro bate and condemn the aforesaid
effort to deprive our County of the
benefit of our Judicial District. and
that no person or persons connected
with the attempt should be consid-
cred worthy of the respect or on
sideration of our people.
We earnestly recommend that
the County Commissioners and all
property owners within the town of
Eureka repair their sidewalks so that
that they will not be dangerous to
life or limb.
