S. *x WIILMAR, MINNESOTA WEDNESDAY,
Grand Jury Reports.


The grand jury respectfully requests
that the following ststement be made
public:
1.-THE grand jury reports that they
have thoroughly Investigated into the
charges made OF gross Negligence and
mismanagement OF the finances of the
city Of Willmar, for the fiscal year
beginning In the spring Of 1898, and
ending at the time OF the adoption OF
the new city charter In 1901. A large
number OF witnesses have been ex.
amined, many Of whom have been
members OF the council during those
years. From such examinations the
grand jury 10 satisfied that such
negligence and mism anagement was
inexcusab]e. The council did not at
any time exa nine into the system of
books kept by the city, nor the man.
ner OF collecting and disburslng the
city funds. The finance committee at
no time checked over the accounts of
the recorder and treasurer in the pro-
per manner. The finance committee
at one time even discovered a short
age OF the city funds In the hands Of
the recorder and urged him to raise
money with which to make up such
shortage, but did not make any report
t. the council Of the shortage.
We believe that they failed to do
their duty in this respect. We fur
ther believe that the same committee
also neglected and failed to do their
duty in not Immediately notifying the
bondsmen of their discovery, so that
the bondsmen could take immediate
steps for their own protection. 1t has
appeared to the grand jury through
out the whole of said investigation
that the members of the council for
those different years are able and in
telligent and are good business men, and
that had they as members of the coun.
Gil used the same care and conserva.
tism in the management OF the city a.
fairs, as they always have in their
own business, there would have been
no shortage and this investigation
would have been unnecessary. We
do not desire to criticize any one coun.
| Gil or member in particular, but be.
lieve that all during those years have
in some manner neglected to perform
the duties imposed upon them by law

A. B. Hanecom was the next victim.

agreed on a verdict of guilty after
having remained in secret session on
ly about Is minutes. This establishes
"non-tox" as an "intox'' and copse-
quently charges OF pieging may be
preferred against ell parties handling
same.
The next case was that of the state
W Benjman Waterman, "willfully,
maliciously and otherwise" accusing
him OF selling intoxicating liquors
without license. The chief witness
for the state is At present at Hot
Springs, Arkansas, for the benefit OF
his health and In order to save the
county the expense of procuring same
witness and furthermore remembering
oil the acts of kindness bestowed up
on him by the city and county in times

secured q ticket for Minneapolis where
he expects to remain visiting with
"friends and relatives'' till Friday
morning, when he will return to re-
ceive his "winter appropriations"
When the case against A. o. Bryant
was called tho county attorney report
ed that the chief witnsss had left the
city Unexpectedly and here this case
rests At present.
Three indictments have been brought
by the grand jury against Samuel
osmundson for misappropriation OF
city funds. He pleaded not guilty to all
charges. Three indictments were also
returned against Carl A. GustafsoD,
one for grand larceny in the second
degree aud two for burglary in the
third degree. Some time ago VIM.
Gilger found that several household
articles such ~ bed quilts, silver
spoons, rubbers, galvanized wash
tubs and other articles too numerous
to mention had disappeared from his
cottage at Eagle Lake. A search for
the guilty parties was At once COM
menced and it is claimed that some of
the missing articles were found at
Gustafson's home. Gustafson, how
ever, when arraigned pleaded mot
guilty." His case will probably come
up for trial Friday.
The grand jury adjourned yester.
day noon, after returning sixteen in
dictments at this term.

for the theft Of = horse belonging to

'tInne ffare<soco 20 tho record ofL-sthe
court would be sure to settle the
matter conclusively. AS to the reality
of the different indictments that had
been brought against him from time
to time and the c0nvic, ions that had
resulted from the same Ben was in
clined to be somewhat doubtful. Some
of them he remembered and others he
had faint recollection of, but q large
number had entirely escaped from his
overworked brain. The fact that
more than 80 Indictments have been
brought against him since 1892 may
give one an idea of the herculesn task
he was asked to grapple with and may
in way be valid excuse for his
faulty memory.
When Ben rested, Bonde, Stephens
and Goebel testified for the defense.
Their testimony was direct, concise
and consistent. 1t was clearly shown
that the officers had used no more force
than necessary in effecting the arrest
and that they had not "willfully,
mac:ously or otherwise" injured or
maltreated plaintiff.
But none of the evidence submitted
tended to prove that the crime of which
Waterman was accused had been CON-
mitted In the presence of the officers
and upon this technical snag the case
of the defendants stranded. The law
provides that no man can be arrested
without warrant except in cases
where the crime Is committed In the
presence of an officer and even then an
arrest should not be made except in q
case where the public safety should
require it. This WAS Set forth in a
clear and emphatic manner by the
judge when he charged the jury. He
explained the points of law involved
and instructed them to return q ver-
dict Of at least nominal damages, u.
ually understood to mean one dollar.
He furthermore stated that if the jury
should conclude from the evidence
presented that the arrest was made
maliciously they should return ver-
dict awarding plaintiff recompensive
damages for the injuries received.
On Tuesday Attorney Porter on be-
halt of his client asked permission to
change the plea of mot guilty" to
ssguilty" on the very charge for which
the client had just been allowed el5
for false Imprisonment.

During the entire trial the court room

Of evidence introduced and wherever
people congregated the case in ques-

conversation. Ben Waterman was
first called to testify In his own be-
half. He answered the questions put
to him in low, husky voice which at
times sank into IN almost inaudible
whisper and al consequence he was
often requested to speak louder. AT
first his memory was very clear and
he remembered distinctly al that took
place on the night of Sept. II, when
he was arrested, But when he was

WATERING STOCK
IS NOT A FRAUD
FRANK ARGUMENT IN THE SUIT
AGAINST THE HONOLULU CLAY
COMPANY.

If the stock of the Honolulu Clay
Company was watered, there was moth
ing wrong in it under the laws of Ha-
wall, is one of the contentious made in
a brief filed this morning in support of
the demurrer filed by defendants in
the case of G. r. Hemenway, trustee,
against stockholders of the company.
Hemenway is suing as trustee in bank
ruptcy, to compel payments from stock
holders who are alleged to have been
delinquent on payments on stock, and
he charges that in the organization of
the concern there were gross over
valuations of its property holdings. The
defendants sued are the Honolulu Clay
Company, f. j. Long, Frank Hustace
f. J, Amweg, O. l.. Sorenson, j. b.
Rohrer j. r. Burns, c. II. Cooke, f..
g Atherton, w. Gehring, f. d. Damon,
NJ. L. Smith, H. L. Kerr, C. G. Ellison,
F. L. Litherland r. McCants Stewart,
w. r. Castle, Jr., and A. N. Campbell.
The argument in support of the de-
murrer likens the company, which was
organized to dig for clay, to a mining
corporation digging for valuable metal,
and says its property is incapable OF
{ accurate valuation. "If the stock was
watered," says the brief, there is moth

MAN INVENTS A
TOME SUGAR HARVESTING.

BY the next Alameda there will ar
rive machine for cane cutting which,
it is expected. will tend to revolu-

product. The new cane cutter repre-
sents the work of many years on the
part of Henry G. Ginaca AN employe
of the Honolulu Iron Works who has
now left that employ to devote him
self to the development Of his in
vention.
1t was reported from Washington
d. c., that he had sold half of his in
terest in the invention to G. p. THE
Ian of this city and Thielan admitted
this morning that he had an interest
in the concern.
YES, it is an invention in which ]

1T was invented by Ginaca and has
been perfected in San Francisco and
will be down here by the next Ala

From other sources 1t was learned
that the Ginaca invention is Of the au-

and that its inventor is certain that
it will simply walk through cane field
cutting as it goes. If the hopes of the
inventor are realized, there is no say
