We respectfully beg leave to submit
this, our final report. We have ex

two true bills and one ignored. Two
cases of defacing brands and illegal
branding, two true bills. One case of

twenty-four witnesses.
Some delay has been causod by im
portant witnesses not being on hand.
We find that In some of these cases tho
witnesses had not been subpoenaed,
but had promised tho district attorney
to be in attendance at court. We
would recommend that in the future
tho district attorney sees that sub
poenas be issued for all important wjW
nesses in tim,e ti. gpt them. ' before, the
grand, jury,
Thore have been a number of wit-
iinnaou before us complaining of
the Navajo Indians committing vail
ous depredations. We would recom
mend that the proper officers, and
especially our sheriff, take up the mat
ter with tho proper Indian or U. S.
officers and if posslblo get clothed
with authority to 'keep tho Indians
back from the ranges of the Coconino
stockmen.
We understand that the grand jury
of Match, 1896, recommended that the
proper officials take steps to charge
Mrs. Foster, the mother of a little gitl,
now some ten or twelve years of age,
to placo her child iu school. From
information that has come before us
we find that the superintendent of
schools has requested Mrs. Foster to
send the little girl to school and that
she has refused to do so. We would
iccomniend that the proper officials
use the law to tho fullest extent in this
question, and if possible give the little
girl the advantages of an education.
Wo respectfully teudei- our thanks
to tho Hon. Owen T. Rouse and all
officers of tho court for tho uniform
courtesy extended to us during Ibis
session of the grand jury. e respect

Short Sketch of His Life and
Public Service-
Twenty Years n Itesldenl of the Ter
ritory, He Has Been Many
Times Honored by Ills
Fellow Citizens.
It is almost unnecessary to intro
duce the Hon. A. J. Doran to the
people of Arizona, yet it may not be
improper to briefly review the life aud
career of our next delegate to con
gress. Mr. Doran is a mcchauic, his trade
being that of a mill wright aud bridge
maker. He has nearly all his lifo
been a pioneer in the van of the march
of civilization. His interests aud sym
pathies are with those who have strug
gled iu the past, aud who are yet
struggling to hew out of the great
west a magnificent empire.
Mr. Doran was born at New Phila
delphia, Ohio, iu 1810. When but
four years of age he was taken by his
grandparents to Booucville, Mo.,
where they remained three or four
years. When about seveu years of
age his grandparents removed to Iowa,
aud took our delegate there. In 1860
Mr. Doran, during the Pike's Peak ex
citcmcut, went to Colorado and en
gaged iu mining. Iu 1861 he went to
Marysville, Cal. Iu 1862 he enlisted

Phoenix Herald.
Oue of tho unknown men who was
shot at Lcadvillo Monday while taking
a hand iu the explosion of the CorO'
nado mine, has been idcutiiied as John
O'Reilly, an old Arizona miner.
O'Reilly worked for several years in
tho mines of Yavapai county, aud was
fairly well knowu in this city among
tlioso who handle the pick under
ground. He was known as a bad mau
and often boasted of the activo part he
took iu the Cotier d'Alene stiike in
Idaho several years ago, and of bis
also taking part in tho blowing up of
tho Strong mino at Victor a couple of
vears ago during the Cripple Creek
strike. Ho left Phoenix last March

ARIZONA POLITICS.
There were 41 votes cast by federal
officials at the Williams convention
almost a majority; and yet the conven
tion most unmercifully denounced
President Cleveland. Oh shame! Oh
ingratitude! If you could not endorse
or support your benefactor you should
have at least refrained from voting.

That one thousand dollars belting
money with the Sentinel that McKiu

Come, now, some of you enthusiastic

Colonel Brodie's withdrawal from
the race for treasurer, ou the repub
lican ticket of Yavapai, while regretted
generally by men of both parties, is
due to his association with many en
terprises affecting the building up of
Arizona's principal industry, that of
water storage and the reclamation of
its arid lauds. Since Mr. Brodie has
withdrawn from the field of politics,
the impression prevails that he desires
to be free and unincumbered iu his
work of superintending tho immense
Waluut Grove dam, au enterprise of
incalculable benefit to the territory at
large, aud which will probably be
rebuilt, or started, at ouce. Had Mr.
Brodie, however, decided to again
come before the people for auy office
of his choice, he would have received a
flattering testimonial from the voters
of Yavapai and been elected boyond a
doubt. Journal-Miner.
Some of the democratic papers of
the territory, previous to the meeting
of the republican convention iu Phoe
nix, shouted themselves hoarse yelling
"cowards" aud "weak-knees." Now
their tune is changed, and they are
regretfully sighing and crying because
these "cowards" and "weak-knecs"
had the courage to declare their loy
alty to the party whose bauner they
have followed for years. And it is
just the same old banner, too not a
star nor a stripe missiug aud floating
from the same prosperous standard
which has always carried it. Come
off, you who shout coward and gold-
standard! Look to your chief, and
learn wisdom from him who declares:
"There is no gold standard in the
Republicau platform." Look to his
tory aud learn that the Republicau
party is the only true, consistent friend
silver has ever had. Tucson Citizen.
