MAKES MANY RECOMMENDATIONS
and SUGGESTS that ANOTHER
GRAND JURY Be CALLED DATONCE
Indictments for Most Part Cover Alleged Violations
OF Liquor Laws, and
Gambling

Eighteen true bills of indictment
Many strong recommendations.
Request that another grand jury be
called Immediately.
These arc the cummings up of the
labors of tho twelve men who have
been in almost constant session since
tho first of the month and therefore
the year, as an inquisitorial body un-
der the provisions of the statute pro-
viding that a jury of this sort shall be
called in counties of the first class at
least once a year.
Tho indictments arc for the most
part on charges of gambling and Ii
quor law violations. At the request of
the officials the names are not given
out, and will not be until the parties
indicted are arrested
In the first offense cases of both var
ieties the bonds will be in each case
5000; second offense cases the bonds
will be $500. For gambling the fines on
conviction will be from $50 up. 1t is
understood that at least some of the
indicted parties will plead guilty, and
pay their fines as quickly as possible.
The jury's report and rccommenda-
tons as document is clsssed by those
who had tho privilege of reading 1t at
the court house. as being exceptionally
strong and pointed. VERY much the
best grand jury report" said ono lead
ing official. that has yet been pre-
sented in Pueblo county"
