warrant on a prisoner in the county jail — $96.75, and serv- ing two subpoenas on the same three persons in each case, in Silver City, upon the returns of which mileage was charged at $21 on each subpoena — making $138.75 for mileage charged for services made in Silver City. It will be observed that we have not ex- tended this investigation to the terms of officials preceding the incumbents. The limited time would not admit of this, as we deemed the present conditions of county affairs of more importance. We recommend the appointment by the court of two experts in accounts of county officers to continue the investigation of county affairs from 1885 to the present time — they to be paid by the county. The probate clerk, being absent and the probate judge having no records outside of the clerk’s office, no examination was made in pro- bate matters. The grand jury recommends that action at law be commenced against the officials (ana their bondsmen) who have been beneficiaries of the peculations which we have reported. Respectfully submitted, D. P. Carr, Foreman. Enterprise Editorial— September 5, 1890 THE REPORTFor the past two weeks this city and Grant County has been enjoying an excitement the like of which has never been experienced here before and it is to be hoped never will be again.
