To the Hon. W. i. Galbraith,
Judge of End Judicial District. The
Grand Jury tmpannpled at the De-
cember term of the District Court in
and for Deer Lodge County, M. T..
submit the following report: That we
have examined into the cases that
have been presented to US and ali
matters of our own knowledge
wherein offences have been commit
ted against the statutes of the Terri
tory, and made such disposition of
them as in Our opinion tie law justi-
les.
That we have indicted at least one
third If all the citizens of this county
for various Offences and have evidence
hefOre US t. ''cinch" the other twn
thirds. Our inclinatiOns are all right
10 do so, but we are satisfied that any
further ac'i"n by this body would 81
cripple ,Our Court that its adjourn
mer' would be pecessjtsted by the
absence of go many OF the legal fra
ternity, whose sm ling but dishonest
faces surround Your Hon"r.
We have at the hour of midnight
made cur adjournment ana respect
fully ask your Honor to excnse us for
the term. Should you. however, coD-
4ider that we are duty bound t. iudict
the other two thirds of the citizens
t. r the several Offense. of which We
feel constrained t. admit they are
guilty, VIZ are willing, yea anxious,
To- continue in Session for the term uf
u natural lives. But. your honor.
IN view of the fact that we are large
taxpayers, and have in great part 10
foot the enormous expense Incurred
in kerping this b"dy together, We
deem it hut just to ourselves. as we'll
as the few Others who aid in making
up the assessment rod; to ask that We
be dismissed at once. It is true,
many who came before US we ~
consistently show the door, but you
will remember that a great majority
Of compliments appear full handed;
and we feel it our duty to give them
\ hearing. In conclusion, We would
sav that District Attorney PembeT-
ton has been very kind, and aided as
materially In arriving 81 verdicts
winch the clouded atmosphere of at
fairs would doubtless have prevent
ID. Also, we desire especially to
return thanks to Jim McMast 'rs for
the courteous manner in which he
passed the ''infOrmars , at sta ed in
~tarval. and in times # dire distress.
HIS efficient deLu les were always on
nand to d. the hOnOrs OF the chls I,
for which we feel doub'y gratif1-d.
Feeling that we have we'll ana fully
tried every case c ming before US,
from clearing ont the Cninamen on
the Main street of DEER Lodge to
''srklng" it to y poor miserable cur
in N+va.ia valley for branding q calf
III t. p~rchance s:rayed into bis pAs-
ture. we again ask to be relieved
from further arsiuOus duty.
