! The following is the report of A. l..
Miller, states attorney to Jan. 3, 1899.
To the Commissioners of Pembina
County:
Gentlemen:-I beg leave to report the
following, as such matters as de- m it
proper, your attention should be called
too, as they might otherwise be,overlook-
ed.
First. During the term OF N. c. Young
judgment was secured against Charles
Keller and one Greenwood for some
thing over $500 by direction OF Judge
Templeton. This judgment was secured
upon all action brought against the de-
PENDANTS as the bondsmen of one John
Goodman held to answer on the charge
Of violating the prohibition law. This
matter has never been brought to sue
cessful issue because of its peculiar legal
standing, the defendants having made a
motion for a new trial during the term of
Mr.. Young, which has never been argued
although several attempts were made at
the June. 1898 term by myself and Mr..
Young to take the matter up, with MIR.
Kneeshaw attorney for the defendants.
This matter should be disposed of soon.
Second. At the June, 1893 term, by
direction of Hon. o. E. Sauter, Judge,
the bond of c. Adamson was forfeited
and the court instructed the states attor-
ney to proceed to collect the same
Adamson was represented by Judge E.
| w. Conmy as. attorney, and some time
after the adjournment of the June term
wrote me asking that no action be start
ed as Adamson was i'll Manitoba and
making pr, parations to pay the bond and
secure the release of his bondsmen. The
matter was taken up once or twice after
that time with Judge Conmy, with the
result that no suit was instituted in the
hope that settlement could be affected
without. This matter should be closed
up as soon as possible as the surities on
said bond are not considered good.
In the matter Of the State VS. Louis T.
Nelson, who was sentenced during the
June term 1893 by Judge Sauter under
the bastardy act OF 1895 application was
made to Judge Sauter Tor the discharge
of Nelson under the provisions of Sec.
6l36 to 6l43 inclusive of the Revised
Codes, and Nelson at the hearing dis
closed to the court that Inc was possessed
vi silver watch and gold chain and that
the sum If one hundred and FIVE dollars
was due him from his brother, THEODORE
Nelson of Cavalier county for work. The
court authorized the release of Nelson
upon his turning over to the states attor-
ney the watch and cham and an order on
THEODORE Nelson for tile payment of the
money due. Nelson turned over the
watch ana chain and the order to me on
the 18th of September and on the 2lst
cay of September the order was accepted
by THEODORE Nelson, who promised to
pay the same. The watch, chain and
order have been turned over to my sue
cessor.
| In the case Of Nevins VS. Gordon and
Others, which was case arising out OF
thc drains made in the vicinity of Bath.
