REPORTS ARE UP
TO DONAHOWER
ATTORNEY GENERAL rs BUSY
FRAMING CASES FOR STATE.
Latest Two Reports of Public E,x-
aInjner Contain Further Sensations
Congressman Buchanan Must Pay
for Trespass or Stand Suit-Demand
Made on Him for Over $4,000.

Attorney General Donahower has
his hands full with the results Of the
public examiners investigation Of the
state auditors office. The reports
previously filed with the governor are
all in his hands. The last two were
comment or recommendation, to take
whatever action he deems right.
The last reports are said to be very
meaty. For the present however, they
will not be made public. One of them
deals further with the question of TIM
which were sold in the Dunn admin
istration and more or less cut over
without cent ever coming in to the
state. 1t cites many cases where
tracts We're sold over again with no
apparent attempt to enforce the condi-
tions of the first permit or collect
anything on 1t. Many of the tracts
involved have been cut clean, and the
state school fund has realized little or
nothing.
The other report turned over today
deals with the question of mineral
leases, and presents evidence to show
that employees in the auditors office
tracts issued on state land. Some
serious questions for the attorney
generals department are said to be
involved.
The attorney generals office is SIM
ply swamped with the work on hand.
Messrs. Donahower and Dickson are
putting in their time digging out the
material for suits, and it is likely that
| several will be filed soon. It would
be impossible for the present force to
cleanup all the cases in years.
Buchanan Must Settle.
Congressman c., B. Buckman, who
figures in one Of the trespass cases.
has been invited to come up and set
| tie. Unless he pays the amount de-
manded by the attorney general, suit
will be brought against him. The rec
ord shows that he cut trespass timber
worth over $4,000 on the cruisers es-
innate, and settled with Auditor Dunn
for $4,000. Under the law the audi
tor had no authority to compromise
for less than double value, and it is
understood that the demand is for
over $4,000 more. Buchanan has been
in several times for conference, and
there has been considerable CORE
spondence, but so far he has failed to
pay the amount claimed.

A CAMPAIGN ON TO
CLOSE WINEROOMS
HOME PROTECTIVE LEAGUE WILL
SECURE MANY ARRESTS.
Evidence Has Been Placed in Such
Shape That Wholesale Revokal of
Licenses May Be Brought About
Epworth League Protests Against
Licensing Dealers Charged With
Illegal Acts.

Saloon conditions in Minneapolis
have become intolerable to the Home
Protective league, and it's members
purpose to see that the Wineroom or
dinance is enforced or to know the
reason why. Already full evidence
has been placed in the hands Of the
city attorney with a request for a
warrant in each case.
It is the plan to make the fight a
vigorous one and to a finish. With
this in view the men who have col
lected the evidence Of violation Of the
wineroom ordinance have done SO on
Sundays and have supplemented their
work by securing against the same
places full evidence on Sunday sales.
against each saloonkeeper involved.
AS the court must revoke the, license
Of a retailer on his second conviction
for violation of the liquor ordinances,
the defense will naturally be strenu-
Gus. However, in case the prosecu-
tons under the wineroom ordinance
prove successful and result in closing
Of the rooms, there are not likely to
be trials on the other charges in hand.
Evidence in these cases has been
secured by a lawyer who knew what
to look for and liquor cases promise
to have the right of way In the munic-
ipal court next week.
An Epworth Protest.
No quorum of the council commit
tee on licenses was obtainable at the
regular meeting this morning, but
w. C. Calderwood of the Epworth

MISGUIDED PITY
George Ryers' Sympathy for Old Horse
Proved Expensive.

George Byers took pity on the old fam
lily horse because he thought 1t was not
getting enough to eat and shot it, altho It
belonged to another man. The horse was
valued at SIS. and Byers paid over that
amount in police court this morning
The evidence showed that when Byers
and his mother moved from Minnetonka.
Mrs. Byers gave the horse to L. Schrack
for his keeping. The young man thought
the horse was starving, so he visited
Schrack's place, led the horse out to the
woods and shot it. He claimed that the
horse had never been given to Schrack
but Judge Holt refused to recognize the
claim.

suade two young girls to drink liquor in
