WERE NOT HONEST.
Wholesale Indictments of County
Officials by the Grand Jury at
kalispell, Mon.
The List Includes Nearly Every One
From the Sheriff to the County
Commissioners.
The Commissioners Asked to Suspend
the Others and Then Resign, But
They Refuse.

KALIsPELL, Mon, Nov. 13.-The grand
jury has made a final report giving the
result Of an investigation into the affairs
Of the county Offices. Judge Dubois, in
charging the grand jury three weeks ago,
called attention to the rumors of irregu-
larities said to exist in the offices Of
sheriff, assessor, clerk of the district
court and county commissioners, and in
structed the jury to indict where the
evidence sustained the charges.
For three weeks the grand jury has
been going through the county records,
with the result that six indictments have
been returned against Sheriff Gangner
for embezzlement and perjury, two
against Clerk of the District Court
Swaney for elnbezzlement, three against
Assessor Graves for embezzlement and
misconduct, and two against Jailer Nc
Gowan for embezzlement and careless
ness in allowing prisoner to escape.
The jury has also handed in eight indict-
ments against the county commissioners,
charging misconduct in office in allow
eng numerous bills which the grand jury
regard in excess of the amount that
should have been paid.
In giving the result of the investiga.
ton the grand jury severely condemns
the methods which all of the accused
have employed in conducting the affairs
of their respective offices. and unmerci
fully scores them for the manner in
which the records have been kept, say.
ing the accused officials are either in.
competent or willfully kept the records
and accounts in such shape that no state
ment can be obtained as to their true con
| dition. The jury scored the sheriff fo1
the manner in which prisoners are said
to have been treated by the jailer. They
recommend that the county commission
ers temporarily remove from office the
officers now under indictment, and ther
hand in their own designations pending
the trial of the cases. This the officers
refuse to do, saying that on the tria
they can clear them selves of hecharges
| preferred. All are under heavy bonds
The cases will not be called up for tria
until the January term.

New York State is to have a constitu-
tional convention, and the delegates
thereto we're chosen at the recent cleo
ton. The Republican landslide in that
State not only gave the coAtrd of the
legislature to the Republicans. but the
constitutional convention as well This
latter fact has carried CONSERVATION into
the Democratic camp, for the Tammany
chiefs had so arranged things that they
supposed they would have the conven-
ton absolutely in their control. The
Democratic legislature provided ;hls a
large number Of the delegates should he
chosen on a general ticket, as they felt
perfectly certain of carrying the State,
and counted on these delegates at-large
to give them control, even though the
Republicans should carry the local dis
tricts outside Of New York and Brook
lyn. But the Republicans carried the
State, and will have a big majority in
the convention, and will have the remod-
Ring or amending of the State eonsiitu-
ton in their own hands. Truly, Tam.
many has fallen into the PIT it digget
