The Disposition Of Cases.
After the civil business before the
court was attended to, Judge Bach ad-
dressed the jury as follows: IN
GENrLEMEN:-I am not going to make
you long address this morning. Last
spring was obliged to call the attention
of the grand jury to great many crimi-
nal matters which needed their attention.
I am happy to say that 1 have been all
over the Territory of Montana, have
visited q great many cities and have seen
none as orderly and .lawabiding as this
town is today. This good state of affairs
in this county believe is due to the
action Of the Grand Jury of last term of
court as much as to anything else. 1t is
owing to their faithful work that there is
SO little left for you to do. Twill appoint
Mr.. Julius Horst foreman of the Grand
Jury, and will ask you, MI. Horst, to go
about this business as you do about your
own. You have the right to ask ques-
tions of any witness during the course
of examination and to stop any one who
is wandering from the subject. do not
think you need to be more than twenty
minutes in mastering the testimony in any
case. 1t is made my duty by these
statutes of this Territory to call your
attention to few laws. 1t is your duty
to examine the accounts of the county
officials, to examine their records, to look
into the condition of the county Jail and
the county Offices, to see whether any
county officials are dealing in county
warrants, to investigate the sale of liquor
to Indians, to see whether any gambling
house or saloon has allowed minors to
visit it. This violation of the law should
be closely inquired into. Another viola
tion Of the law which you are charged to
look into is that of carrying concealed
weapons; another is the sale of liquor to
soldiers. If any of you Grand Jurors
who came from Sun River knows of this
being done, it should be investigated.
This I believe caused the crime which
took place at Sun River last spring.
Whatever other violations of the laws Of
the Territory there may have been will
be presented to you by the county
attorney.
I will not occupy your time longer but
will allow you to go to your duties.
The Grand Jury were then given in
charge of sworn bailid and retired TO
the Probate court room for work.
