A meeting of th'i Miners' Associa tion of Grunts Pass was held ou Tuesday evening at the exhibit build ing.

The association is working for a large membership and all miners, busiuesi men and citizens who are interested in the development of our dis'rict are urged to unite with the organization Tom Duffy.rocently employed at the Coudor dam at Gold Ray was arrested Friday uight for attempted burglary and is now detained in tho county jail waitiug the next term of court J. W. Baker, Wm. Stovall and Mr. Woodcon were going home from the. laundry late Friday evening when they saw the feet of a man protruding from tho side door of Hartli'i clothing store, said members occupying the vacancy where a pane of glass should have been. The feet were in egress and were followed by the legs aud body of a man who crawled out upon the sidewalk. Iu answer to question ing as to what he was doing there, the man said lie was hunting a place to sleep. Tho four men walked together as far as the stieet corner, when the in truder in the store started np Sixth street. Mr. Baker signalled . the others to keep him in sight aud started to End the marshal. At the Lnyton he found Ex-Marshal McGrew, who went with him aud anested the man near the Union restaurant alley. Iu the examination before Justice Furninn on Saturday, Baker and Woodson positively identified Daffy as the man whom they saw crawling cut of the store. Stovall was not so sure, paying that he could not see well after night. Duffy claimed ab soluto ignorauce -of the entire trans action aud sought to prove an alibi by the proprietor of the Oregon saloon and another man who' saw him there, but this cvldeuce failed to locate Duffy at the time the burglarious at tempt was committed. He con fessed to having been very drunk aud was unable to give a clear account of his movements. Several who saw Duffy on the even ing in queslion, think that he was leiug used in 'his drunken condition as a tool for others and that tho more culpablu parties made their escape. Duffy had nothing ou his person to incriminate him and it was not found that anything was missing from the store. Tho glass pane nf the door bad evidently been broken and pushed in from the outside.

Snp- I'o the Honorable Circuit Court: We, the grnnd jury duly empanelled for the September, 1004 term of the above entitled court, respectfully sub mit this as tho report of our official action : We have diligently inquired into all alleged crimes that have been brought to our attention aud have re turned true bills in all cases where wo felt that tho evidence justified and have declined to indict in all others. Wo have diligently inquired Into tho murder of Florence Chapiu or Mrs. Wells, whichever her true name may be and have been unable to find sullicient evidence to warrant us in returning an indictment against any one for Hint crime. We respectfully suggest that tho seriousness of the criuio deserves tho strong support of the state officers by the county court in the matter of the apprehension of the guilty party. We have examined the county poor house and liavo visited aud conversed with the inmates thereof aud wo find the place neatly kept and the inmates thereof ueat and generally satisfied. Wo suggest however, that tho water supply is not good, the only supply being surface water which Ib muddy and real.y unfit for nso. The limited time at our disposal has prevented us from making any expert examination of tho records aud tiles of the various conuty officials, but tho lusjiectiou which we have bceii enabled to make justifies as iu reporting that we find th records neatly kept and in good order and wo have found all of the county ollicial.i courteous and obliging. We have examined tho county jail and report that its sanitary conditions are not tho best. This could be partly remedied by a new floor. Wo would also suggi'st that because of tlio con strui'tion of tho jail and its general condition, it is liable to bo consumed hy fire and so long as it remains iu its present condition, some one ought to sleep thcro of nights while pris uerB are confined therein.
