been the custom for the Clerk Of the
County Commissioners to make tie
minutes Of the proceedings Of the
Commissioners, which minutes have
not been scrutinized by the Board and
approved, and according to the testi-.
mony, the minutes did not correctly
record the action Of the Commission
ers on matters coming before them.
These minutes have been signed by
the Clerk alone, and the jury recon-
mends that hereafter correct minutes
be kept Of all proceedings before the
commissioners, and that such minutes
be carefully scrutinized by the Board,
and If correct, approved and signed by
the Chairman Of the Board, and At
tested by the Cerk.
The Grand Jury further recommends
that the County Commissioners and
the County Clerk, through the County
Attorney, inform themselves ~ to the
laws Of this State governing the
transaction Of all county business in
such Offices, and that thereafter, nj
such laws be rigidly adhered to.

Unless the foregoing amounts are
returned 10 the County on proper de-
mand, suit for the collection Of the
same should be started.
Intoxicating Liquors
The Grand Jury has made an ear
nest effort, in the time available, to
investigate all violations Of the in
toxicating liquor law, Of which they
could learn, and believes that what has
been done will help to suppress this
evil in Gunnison County, and suggests
that anyone having reliable informa-
ton as to the manufacture and sale
of intoxicating liquors, bring the same
to the attention Of the proper officials.
The Grand Jury has, without reference
to the party involved, where the evi-
dence has justified it, indicted, but in
view Of the peculiar circumstances
connected with the charges against N.
B. Herrick, feels impelled to recon-
mend, in case the Court is pleased with
his attitude concerning the charge,
that he be shown extreme leniency.
Further Recommendation
The Grand Jury, in addition TO OBJ
|servations and recommendations above
made, desires to call the Courts at
tention to the fact that heretofore the
Commissioners proceedings have only
/ been published once every SIX months
and It earnestly recommends that the
law regarding the publication oi
Commissionersf proceedings should b
|strictly complied with, and these pro
lceedings should b publishad monthly
after each meeting.

Grand jury recommends that the

The County Commissioners unl,er
Law are paid $75.00 per month for their
services as county COMM isioners. II
Is their duty to meet on the first Mon
day Of each month, and audit and pass
upon all the bills presented against
the county, and to transact such other
business Of the county as may come
before them. According to the testi-
mony Of several witnesses, il has been
the custom of the commissioners to
meet, and almost without exception,
attend 20 all of the county matters
coming before such meeting in not TO

work in half day, so that it was

approve all bills by placing his sigma

been placed thereon, the bills would

corsiing 70 the testimony, almost with
out exception, all bills that were pres

Without attempting. because Of the
condition OF the record. to make any
demand for the return of all moneys
irregularly and possibly improperly
paid out on warrants issued BY the
County Clerk on claims allowed by
the County Commissioners, the jury
feels impelIed to request that . pro-
per demand be made on the proper
parties for the return to the County
Treasurer of amounts shown by the
records themselves, to have been IL
legally paid from the county funds,

ness Of the county, not TO exceed Is
cents per mile. The county commits
sioners Of this county made no pre-
text Of keeping an account Of their
actual expenses, or Of presenting any

J. ureably decreasing the force OF
a blow or fail.
II 1t were not for these natural
projections of the brain, the
master tissue of the body, fewer
children would survive infancy.
It is because of these protec-
tives that but few such falls are
followed by serious consequences.
The worst that happens to the
skull itself is to bend one OF the
soft bones inward making a dent
or depression. Even this, in the
absence of symptoms, may not
be serious, although it is always
serious enough to need attention
of your physician to determine
the possible damage and what If
anything ought to be done.
Your doctor will tell You that,
in the absence Of symptoms Of
injury to the brain, nothing
surgical ought to be done, and
that the literature of the profess
sion abounds in cases that have
gone through life in this condi-
ton without showing the slight
est consequences of the accident.
One of the ablest. most brilliant
and most distinguished members
of the United States Government
today, carries, in his skull a deem
depression received in early life.
But it doesn't follow from this
that bumps on the head are good
things for the baby.
Serious results may and oc.
casionally do follow.
Partial or complete uncon-
seriousness lasting for a variable
time, may follow more or less
marked conclusion of the brain.
Or in addition there may ne

paleness, cold and clammy skin,

If there is paralysis of certain
