Rev. }. q. Moore, presiding elder
of the Minot district, delivered his

Miss Claudia Peterson, a sister of
Mrs. G. H. Combs, and Miss Dollie

are here visiting with Mrs. Combs.
They intend going out to Ward county

R. E. Mccain, the new cashier of
the First National Bank, arrived on
Tuesday, and has assumed his duties.
Mr.. Mccain comes to US we'll recon-
mended. For sometime past he has
been cashier of the Anamoose State
Bank. and before that with bank in
Harvey. Mrs. Mccain and daughter
are on the claim in the western part
of the state and will not move here
until proof is made. Mr.. Mccain is
pleasant genial young man to meet,
and promises to average we'll with the
other Willow City business men, and
there are no better in Bottineau
county.
There ale rumors of another grand
jury for the June term of court, and
we understand that a petition is being
circulated to that effect To call a
grand jury is constitutional right of
twenty five citizens so inclined. It
often is necessary. But as there are
no reports of crimes unpunished or
covered up in Bottineau county, so far
as we know, the expediency of calling
a grand jury at this time is question
able. We have had two grand ju1ies
within the past three years and the
cost to the county has been consider
able while the good accom- plished has
been insignificant. The officers of Bot
tineau county who are charged with
the enforcement of the law-the sheriff
and states attorney-are able, vigilant
and wide-awake and are keeping the
criminal fraternity we'll in check and
it seems waste of time and money
to call grand jury at this time, but
private spite and misconception of
what the law really is must have an
outlet somewhere and so the tax
payers will have to foot the bills for
another grand jury. -.
