A note received from Joe Laisure, dated Pierce City, Idaho, indicates that he is again hustling in the west, with the probability that he may re- main at that place tor a time as he directs that the Herald-Review be sent to him there.

He had not ventured out of town before in four years, not hav- ing any suitable person to leave in general charge, but he felt that every- | thing would be safe while the grand jury was in sessiou. Instead, however, THE GRAND JURY HAS ADJOURNED Remained in Sechina Nine Days’! and Returned 29 Indictments. | MAKES SOME RECOMMENDATIONS. Repairs Needed at County Jail and Poor Farm—Makes Criticism on Hearsay Reports— Wants the Lid On. The grand jury fur the June term of district court concluded its ar- duous labors on Thursday afternvon last. Judging from the number of indictments returned—twenty-nine— it was a busy body during the nine days it was in session. Many subjects were given consid- eration, and _ nearly everybody against whom charges were made ‘got their needins,” if we may be permitted to quote one enthusiastic member who appeared to he very proud of the record made. It is very evident that the jury acted on hearsay when the criticism was offered on the manner in which the pest house is conducted. 'l'hose in a position to know the facts were prepared to furnish ample evideuce that every possible care and attention has been given to| patients by Dr. Gendron as chair- | man of the health board. The come plaints that were made as to the treatment given patients were en-| tirely without support, while the} bills turned into the county could | have been produced before the jury to show that the supply of provisions was ample at all times. A pest house is not a desirable place for any one to put upat, but at the same time Itasca county cannot afford to supply palaces for those unfortunates who must be cared for at such a place. The buildings are plain, but they are as comfortable as the homes of many of the men who served as jurymen and voted to condem them: and the Herald-Reyiew will not hes tate to say that the food supply provid- ed to inmates of the pest house has been far more luxurious and expen- sive than that provided to the fami- lies of a majority of those who ex- pressed condemnation of the care given to the county charges in this| respect. In addition to the cases of indict ments reported in the last issue the following arraignments were made during the week: Rube Patterson, assault in the second degree; pleaded not guilty. John Erwin. accessory after the fact to assaultin thesecond degree: pleaded not guilty. Fred Anderson, same above; pleaded not guilty. Keaton Willis, murder in the second degree: pleaded not guilty } Ben Young, Wm. Tibbits, Martin, Eli Laiselle and John M. Junes were all indicted on charges of being im- plicated in alleged fraudulent voting at the spring election in Deer River. Edgar Chill, late justice of the pea e | at Deer River, drew three indicts | ments—two on charges of grand larceny in the second degree and one} for compounding a felony. Following is the report and recome mendations as returned to Judge McClenahan: Grand Rapids, Minn., June 13, 190 To the Hon. W. $. McClenahan. Judge of the District Court. Sir: The grand jury for the June, 1907, general term of the district court in and for the| county of Itasca, fifteenth judicial district, state of Minnesota, beg to submft the follow- ing report: The grand jury, asa body visited the county jail and found same kept in good condition. but would recommend that three additional cells be placed in the space arranged for that purpose in the original plans, as the jail is at times very much overcrowded. We would further recommend that the padded cell be repaired as it is in an entirely useless con- dition at the present time, The gutter on the jail building is in such a condition that the walls are being injured by the leakage and an expenditure of a few dollars now would save a very heavy expense to the county at a later date. We also visited the poor farm and found everything there in an apparently neat and clean condition and the inmates apparently being taken care of in a satisfactory manner; but we would recommend that a wheel chair or two be provided for the inmates and some more comfortable chairs for the feeble in- mates; that a new smoke pipe to the furnace in the basement be procured; and that the heating pipes be covered with asbestos. We visited the pest house in a body and found its condition far from satisfactory; that the attention of the commi: 8 called to the fact that there are several needed improvements which had been at their request enumerated and laid before them at their meeting today. In our opinion the officer acting as the chairman of the health board has apparently been negligent offense as | they took adyantage of the opportu- nity and went wrong. Lost- -Pair of gold mmmed glasses lost on Decoration day. Return for reward to Emil Litchke. in his duties and we recommend that the the county has been violated and the presi- dents of the various villages throughout the county have been called before the body and in each and every instance they have ex- pressed their willingness to endeavor to en- force the laws of the state governing the closing of saloons and governing gambling of all kinds and we would recommend that the county attorney and the sheriff see that the laws are enforced in the territory outside of the organized villages and that all citizens of the county do all in their power to the same end. Respectfully submitted, H. E. GRAFFAM. Foreman. All Right at Keewatin. A. M. Maclain, president of the Village of Keewatin, was a special guest of the grand jury the ti ’ the week. Mr. Maclain was sum- moned hither to receive instructions from that august body as to the manner in which he should enforce the laws relating to liquor selling and gambling in his village. To a Herald-Review man Mr. Maclain said he did notanticipate any trouble with the saloon men of Keewatin for violations of the Jaw, He said they were a very respectable class of ¢iti- zens and would conform to any regu- lations that might be reasonably pre- scribed.

On their re- turn they will occupy the new home on Secund avenue west, which Mr. Tedford recently purchased. Tre- news Girl wanted tor general house work. ‘Mrs. C. C.
