,ut the laws of the State are
inadequate to handle the situa-
Jon, and for that reason we
nave had no remedy to apply.
nor any laws upon which we
could base any indictments.
Investigations show that
there is also a considerable
amount of bootlegging being
carried on in Nogales and in
the county in general. We sub
poenaed nuoerous witnesses be-
fore us to testify concerning
alleged violations of the pro-
hibition laws, but none of them
were able to give us any de-
finite information along these
lines, and because of our in
ability to secure proper and sat
isfactory evidence we have been
unable to return any indlct-
ments charging any one with
violation of the prohibition laws,
save and except one defendant.
We believe that the Sheriff S
office is greatly handicapped
and crippled in the enforcement
of the laws, and in the appre-
hension of criminals, because OF
an insufficient number of de-
puties and jailers, and to this
end we strongly recommend to
and urge upon the Board OF
Supervisors that they reestab-
lish the positions of two County
Rangers; that a deputy sheriff
be appointed for and stationed
at both Patagonia and Du-
quesne, and particularly at Pata-
gonia, as the people in the coun-
ty are entitled to just as much
police protection as are the peo-
pie in Nogales, and that an ad-
ditional deputy be appointed for
duty in Nogales.
We also strongly recommend
and urge that the Board of
Supervisors increase the salaries
of all jailors to the sum of
$125.0O per month; that all de-
putty sheriffs be paid at least
$125.00 per month, and that the
under sheriff be paid $140. 90
per month, the present schedule
of salaries being paid to the
jailors and deputy sheriffs be-
ing inadequate to supply the
average man with the neces-
sary cost of living.
We further recommend that
a new county Jail be erected, the
present Jail having outgrown
it's usefulness, and that until
such time as a new jail can be
erected that the present Jail
be repaired and put in a more
sanitary condition, and that the
county physician be required to
inspect the county Jail at least
twice a week. We also recon-
mend that iron bars or steel
netting be placed across the Jail
yard so that it will be possible
for inmates Of the county jail
to have access to the jail yard
during daytime.
We have investigated all coun-
ty offices, and from our in
vestigation we find that all of
them are being run efficiently
and economically.
Thorough investigation of
road construction shows that
the system of handling this
work by day labor is very in
efficient, and that proper check
has not been made covering the
keeping of the time or the SER
vices rendered.

GRAND JURY REPORT
The Grand Inquest of Santa
Cruz County Completes its
LabOrs and Adj0urns

Yesterday the grand jury
presented it's report to Judge
O'Connor, and it's members
were discharged. = Following is
their report as presented and
filed.
In the Superior Court of the
State of Arizona, in and for the
County of Santa Cruz.
Grand Jury Report.
To the
Honorable w. A. O'Connor,
Judge of the Superior Court OF
the State of Arizona, in and fos
the County of Santa Cruz:
We, the Grand Jury, duly en-
panelled and sworn on the 18th
day of December, A. D. 1917, as
a grand jury of the Superior
Court of the State of Arizona,
in and for the county of Santa
Cruz, beg to report as follows
We have inquired into three
cases of murder, and five cases
of grand larceny, one of assault
with intent to commit murder
and one for bootlegging, and
herewith present to you the fol-
lowing true bills and indict-
ments, ,to-wit, 1.-TWO for murder,
five for grand larceny, one for
assault with intent to commit
murder, and one for boot
Logging.
We have made a thorough in
vestigation into the murder of
Fred J. Miller at Mowry, Santa
Cruz County, Arizona, on the
18th day of October, 1917, but
from the evidence produced be.
fore us we were unable to re.
turn any indictments charging
anyone with the murder of the
said Fred J. Miller.
In view of the fact that it is
the duty of the State Examiner,
who is an expert accountant,
to examine the accounts of the
several county offices, the
Grand Jury have deemed it un-
necessary to examine the &C.
counts of the various county
offices, as the State Examiner
will in due time make a thorough
investigation of tie accounts of
the several county offices, and
will, at that time, make a re-
port of the result of his in
vestigations to the Board of
Supervisors.
Investigation shows that a
number of defendants have
gone without trial on account
of a trial jury not being called
in time to try these defendants
within the time specified by
the statute of limitations. We
respectfully suggest that a
method be adopted, or the sys-
tenn improved, so as to avoid a
recurrence of this situation in
the future, and to that end we
respectfully recommend that the
Court adopt the same system
that is now in effect in Pima
County, viz, that a trial jury be
summoned in the month o1
january of each year to serve
for the entire year, being ex.
cuesd from time to time tt
be called again within 3
time not to exceed ninety
days. In this manner no de.
~
fendant will escape for want OF
a trial jury within the time
specified by the statute of
limitations.
We have investigated condi-
tions relating to the practice of
prostitution within Nogales and
the county in general, and from
The daily morning oasis., 1918-01-01

We recommend that in the
future in the maintenance of
county roads that a system be
adopted that will prevent like
eaks, and that the taxpayers be
given full value for their money.

Florida State
Fair And
Exposition
A Great
Success
(From E. T. Hollingsworth, Jr" d-
rector of Exposition, Florida state
Fair and Exposition.)

Probably never before in the MS
tory of the Southland has there ever
beer staged greater exhibition OIL
varied agricultural products, as was
shown at the First Florida State Far
and EXPOSITION, which closed sue
cessfuE period of twelve days dura>
ton in Jacksonsonville on March ..
The live stock exhibits, representing
the best blooded animals OF South
Georgia and many of the finest bred
and raised in Florida, established a
record for future shows OF this char
Iacter, and was the object of favor
able comment and surprise from the
thousands of Northern and Western
visitors in the State who attended the
fair, and who did not believe that
Florida could raise cattle or swine,
nor successfully conduct general
farming.
The First Florida State Fair and
Exposition, under the management O,
L. K. Hanafourde, was a decided sue
cess, both financially and as an ad-
vertisement for the State, such as
couiG not be purchased at any price.
The officials of the enterprise are as
one man, pleased over the attain
laents of the project of those public
spirited men and firms who through
their support, made the State fair pos
si5le, are also firm in the belief that
i is truly Florida asset" of the
f'rst water, and will become bigger
and better each succeeding year.
The exhibitors from other counties
twenty-five in number-have "a
turned to their homes with the in
tehtion of NOW making plans for the
next State Fair, and those visitors
nom the counties failing to partici-
pate in the First Florida State Fair
nave mad their eyes opened to the
value OF the fair toward the develop-
ment and upbuilding of their respec-
tive communities, and have an
nounced that they will be numbered
among the progressive counties of the
State next year.
Although the State Fair was a dc.
oided success in every way, it would
nave been a greater success if the citi-
zens OF Jacksonville had responded to
the call and patronized it as thew
nave done other public spirited move
mcnts. The amusements including
the johnny J. Jones shows were az
ceptlonally clean, and were kent so

THREE AMERICANS FIRST
TO ENTER TH|AUcOURT

With the American Forces in
France, Oct. 10.-(Corespondence OF
the Associated Press) 1t was three
American privates who gave the
French civilians of the German oc-
cupied village of Thiaucourt the
greatest thrill Of their lives. For
four years they had been waiting
and then the Americans came.
When the three privates-an ad-
vance guard Of swarms Of other Am
orleans in their wake-swung into
the war-torn village Of Thiaucourt
not a soul was in the streets. But
within a few minutes news spread
among the TOO hundred civilians
that the Americans were there and
men and women and children came
in droves from cellars where they
had been hiding in terror for two
days and nights. And from other
cellars and dugouts there came 500
German soldiers who were delighted
with the idea of giving up.
The offensive of the First Ameri-
can army, which wiped out the st.
Mihiel salient, began on a Thursday
morning and it was Saturday after
noon when the weary Americans
reached Thiaucourt, hungry and IA
tigued from fast walking in their
eagerness to keep pace with the flee
ing Germans.
AS the Americans poured into the
village and the French realized more
and more that again Thiaucourt had
come into her own men stood in the
streets and cried openly and women
sat about on doorsteps and bits oi
wreckage caused by shells and wep
until near exhaustion. And in the
confusion the children cheered bu
even some Of them, the older onet
realizing what it all meant, cried too
and kissed the hands Of the Officers
and men.
What food they had on hand th'
French turned over to the Ameri
cans the villagers insisting upon th'
Americans taking all they wanted o
what they had. So in the street
and in the houses, some Of them oc
cupied only a few hours previousl
by the German officers and men, tn
Americans made themselves at home
for short breathing spell, and tn
French population Of the village en-
deavored to satisfy the appetites Q
