Gentlemen of the jury

ton of violations of the criminal law,
with the single end in view that the ac-
cused may be brought to trial. Apart
from statute, the Grand Jury is con-
fined to investigations of violations OF
the criminal law, and unless such
Investigations disclose facts constitut-
ing a recognized violation of that law,
it has no power or authority to criti-
,cize any particular or number OF
individuals.
From the time of the reign of Ed
ward the Third to the present time,
Grand Jury has been continued and
preserved as an institution necessary
for the preservation of peace, good
order, and dignity of the State IN
bringing to trial those guilty Of viola
tions of law, and in protecting people
from being put on trial upon frivo-
lous, unfounded or false accusations.
You have the fullest and amplest
power to investigate, as it is your
solemn and prescribed duty to do, into
the willful and corrupt misconduct in
office of public officers of every des-
cripitation in the County. Finding
any such evidence of willful and cor
rupt misconduct, it will be your clear
duty to indict.
There are certain statutes which the
Legislature has directed shall, from
time to time, be brought to the atten-
ton of the Grand Jury.
Section of Article 27 of the Code
requires that your attention be called

Rivalry Between Hens And Her
Eggs Continues;GOOs Enters
Contest

The rivalry between hens continues
and not only that but this week a
goose steps into the limelight.
On Saturday morning Dan Lichty,
of near Gortner, presented an egg laid
by one of his White Leghorn hens, at

could compare results with the ac-
counts of hens of D. A. King, of Acct
dent, and W. A. Hauser, of near Oak
land.
Mr.. Lichty's, or rather Mr.. Lichty's
hens egg was three inches long and
weighed four ounces. The circumfer-
ence the long way was 8 inches, and
the short way round was 634 inches.
Mr.. Hauser's hen had the advantage
in length and long circumference but
Mr.. Lichty's hen had the edge on the
short circumference.
A short time later E. H. Dilley, of
near Oakland, presented his find.
He had no thought of competing with
the hens but wanted to establish tie
county record for a goose egg. One Of
these eggs weighed eight ounces,
was 10 3-8 inches in circumference

the short way. He had another egg

the attention of Governor O'Conor. We
hope that the legislature will enact
some legislation that will provide
funds to do the work." he concluded.
