IT IS UP TO THE COUNCIL.

The mayor and city council GER
tainly do not intend to overlook the
vicious breach of public peace, and
the assault upon city policeman,
in which no arrest was made, on
Wednesday evening, Sept. 9Th.
The breach of peace and the as
sault upon city police officer was
made about midnight, one hour
after every liquor establishment in
Red wood Falls was closed. It was
made on a sidewalk directly under
the second floor of building where
the mayors family was sleeping.
The policeman had twice warned
the law-breaker that he must de-
sist, and when he warned him the
third time the law breaker, not sat-
isfed with his violation of the city
ordinances, compounded the offense
by jumping onto the police officer,
and before the latter got him under
control, bruised and mangled his
face.
And yet the police officer made no
arrest, but by some peculiar cir
cumstance, the assailant attempted
to have the police officer arrested.
The GAZETTE insists that if the as
sailant had been any other than the
party referred to, who has frequent
~ been in mix-ups and released,
the arrest would have been prompt
and effective.
1t is up to the mayor and to the
city council to inquire as to whether
there is an understanding between
the horse doctor and the policeman
whereby the latter is to have rights
not possessed by other people, and
as to whether the policeman in
question is to continue thus in the
fragrant violation of every important
detail of his duty.

The much talked of final report Of
the bank examiner upon the inves-
tigation of the auditors Office dur.
ing R. G. Dunn's regime, has been
made public, and Mr.. Dunn and his
two assistants, Messrs. Finn and
Patterson, who are accused in the
report, have given out their replies.
We are glad that the report has
been made public, because we
realize that Mr.. Dunn can stand
upon his record in the Office, and
with the explanations he and his
assistants offer, everything in the
report has been scattered as if it
were but ashes before the north
west wind. No public official, no
matter how carefully and accurate
ly he administers the duties of his
Office, can manage them without es-
Gaping criticism from people who
are bound to criticise, and Mr..
Dunn has been fortunate in having
that criticism come from source
that was opposed to him before the
state convention. The people should
read both the report and the re-
plies and we are willing to take
chances on their voting right after
they do so.
