COUNTY COURT CRITICIZED Called ..Attention ..To ..Unsanitary Condition In No Uncertain Term " . Ag the result of a grand Jury in vestigation and recommendation, 1 Sheriff Knox has notified all oper-l atorg of punch-boards in Prineville to destroy their boards and not to re-install them under penalty of be ing prosecuted tor gambling. The action was taken Tuesday afternoon after the grand jury had filed its final report and was discharged by T..JA rt..K.. t ne report so tar as it reiaiea w the punch-boards, reads: "Among other things " after due consideration that the operation of the so-called punch-boards as now found in dit-, ferent places of business in the city j of Prineville are so close to a form ' of gambling that they are perni cious and we recommend that the peace officers of the county and ot the City of Prineville notify all operators of such devices forthwith to destroy same, or suffer the 'con sequences of the law. We have in spected some of these punch-boards and instruct that prosecutions toU ' low immediately If this recommend-' ation is not heeded at once." " j The report also deals in no un certain terms with the county court for its failure to heed recommenda tions of previous inquisitorial bod ies relating to the sanitary condi tion of the county jail. In this respect the report reads: "For the sixth successive time do we, as a grand Jury, call the atten tion of the county court to the In decent and unsanitary arrangement found In the main corridor of the county jail, where the toilet an'd cooking facilities almost face each other. We feel that we cannot too strongly condemn the - county court of Crook County for their failure to improve these conditions when six grand juries in succession have seen lit to call the court's attention to this matter, and at least one of them emphatically censured the Court for its failure in paying at tention to the recommenadtion that we are about to make: v" "The toilet facilities should be partitioned away from the main cor ridor of the jail. The cost of this improvement would be negligible, , but we presume that the county court will continue to ignore the recommendation regarding this thing that we think essential to ' protect the county from possible ! and expensive cost that might bi, incurred in the future unless this important improvement is made be-: fore the approaching summer." . I The report was signed by G. H. Nye, Foreman, John F. Haynes, Guy Sears, Henry Edwards, D. A. Sears, G. J. Shobert and John K. Grimes, who were members of the grand j jury. The report means that 42 men during the last six terms of the . county court have inspected the jail and made the same recommend-. ation having thereby made ' no im- ' pression on the county court, tor , each grand Jury is comprised of j seven tax payers of the county,' gathered from every1 section of it.: ALFALFA ITEMS (Special to the Journal) .
