Summary: Grand and trial jury lists of jurors and reports of jury, 1881 to 1886, 1894 to 1902, 1904 contain names of jurors and attendance. The minutes of the 1886 Grand Jury summarize cases heard by the jury. The Grand Jury reports of 1881, 1886, 1894 to 1902, and 1904 summarize indictments and contain internal reviews of county offices including conditions of the jail and hospital. The 1904 report contains a great deal of detail about the poor conditions at the county hospital and problems at the jail with security and overcrowding. There are a few miscellaneous records present of the Probate, Juvenile, Justice of the Peace, Constable, and District Court offices. Most of the case files are U.S. District Court civil cases. A lesser number of cases were criminal cases. There are a few transcripts of cases for each type following the case files. The civil cases are primarily concerned with debts, suits over ownership of real property or mines, and divorces and a few transcripts relate to contested water rights. One case involves a doctor accused of performing an abortion. The criminal cases involve writs of habeas corpus (including one for Wyatt Earp and J. H. Holliday), murder, robbery, burglary, incest, assault and other crimes.
