importance should arise that would
demand the attention of the grand
Jury. "a
70 His Honor. the Judge of the Ninth
judicial District Court of the State
of Nevada. White Pine County:
We, the Grand Jury. beg leave TO
submit the following report:
We find that all inmates of the
County Jail have been informed
against and indictments presented:
We have investigated the shooting
done by w. L. Tuck and have already
submitted a report thereon to the
Court.
COUNTY HOSPITAL.
We have visited the hospital and
were assisted in our investigation by
Mrs. Cristman, the head nurse. who
Informed US that Miss Jennie Newin-
ger, the matron. was absent from the
city owing to the recent death of her
sister. We were shown every cour-
tesy by Mrs. Cristman and every de-
tail of the management of the hos
~pital was presented TO us. We con-
yersed with all the patients therein
and without exception they express
ed themselves as being entirely sat
isfied with the treatment and atfen-
ton they are receiving. They spoke

and the nurses under her charge.
Not a single complaint was offered
for our consideration. An inspection
of the building throughout disclosed
1t to be conducted in an excellent
manner and sanitary conditions are
of a high order. considering the dif-
flculty of insufficient room to accom-
modate the present inmates. The
operating room is we'll equipped. but
owing to the lack of sufficient num-
Der of wards. II Is very often impos-
sible to use this room for operations.
owing to the fact that Ii is often oc-
cupied by patients who are recover
ing from operations. for the reason
that there Is no other available room
TO remove them to and 1t Is also used
as the hospital morgue when patients
die. We have learned from the re-
port relative to the number of pa
tients cared for that the present con-
ditions are not the result OF an un-
usual number of patients, as 1t ap-
pears that the present number of pa
rients is considerably less than the
usual number.
We find that the wards are all oc-
cupied. principally with aged and in
digent patients who will continue to
be inmates of the institution as long
as they live. Taking into considera-
tion the present crowded condition,
We find every possible care and COM
fort is afforded the inmates and that
nothing more could be accomplished
unless the entire building could be
thoroughly renovated.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
We find that at all of the schools
visited everything seemed to be or
derly and systematic, hence we made
but slight inquiry into curriculum or
discipline, confining our inquiry to
the questions of safety and santa
tion.
County High School.
This building is three stories high
and has no fire escapes; all of the
pupils. at present los, and the teaeh-
ers, would have to use one stairway.
In event of fire. We believe this cob
dition should be corrected. We also
learn fire drill is not practiced. We
deem this of as much Importance In
this building as In the grades. The
building is plentifully supplied with
Pyrenes for extinguishing small
hre. but they should be installed in
boxes with glass fronts, so that they
