The grand jury had evidence to show the charging of illegal fees for services not ren- dered by the present sheriff. We were able to conclude investigation in only one case in which mileage was charged for serving a 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.
