n Post Commanders will keep them.
selves constantly and fully informed
of the condition of the country with
in the limits of their commands, aud
to this end will put themselves in
communication with the Sheriffs,
Chiefs of Police, and other peace
officers of the Counties or Districts,
and will require from them such re-
ports as may be necessary. In the
execution of the duty committed to
the military authority by the laws of
the United States, Commanding
officers will act as far as possible by
and through the civil authorities, and
will give them moral support and
physical aid whenever it may be ne
cessary to secure the proper and full
execution of the duties imposed upon
them by law; but this will not be
construed as authorizing arrests to be
made or guards to be furnished by
the military authorities when the
means under the control of the civil
authorities are adequate. Whenever
any civil officer, magistrate or court
neglects or refuses to perform any
official act properly required of such
officer or tribunal, whereby due and
rightful security to person or pro-
perty is denied, the case will be re-
ported by the Post Commander to
these headquarters, with all the facts
and evidence required for proper
comprehension and action. When
the civil authorities refuse or fail to
arrest persons charged with crime, or
when offences are committed in vio-
lation of the police regulations es-
tablished by military authority for
the preservation of order or the pro-
lection of persons or property, com
manding officers will cause the
accused parties to be arrested, and,
upon examination, held for trial or
discharged, if the accusation should
not be well founded. When citizens
committed for trial cannot be imme-
diately brought to trial, they will be
admitted to bail if the crime or
offence with which they are charged
is bailable under the laws of the
State in which it was committed.
