CURFEW ORDINANCE REQUESTED
Final Recommendation of Jurors Pro.
vide for Kidding Streets of Chill
dren at Night.

Two mysterious indictments are in
the hands of Clerk of the Court Fred
Rhoda-the last work of the present
grand jury which was dismissed yes
terday afternoon after a final days
grind in which Assistant Attorney
General James took part.
There is no way of knowing
against whom the indictments are dl-
rected or what charges are contained
in them until the persons named are
arraigned, and no one will say when
that will be.
1t is generally presumed that, in
asmuch as the assistant attorney-gen-
eral handled the indictments, that
they are connected directly or indi-
rectly with the Dumas case, and that
the charges involve arson.
Flock of Prosecutors Leave.
Mr.. James and Alfred w Mueller,
also Of the attorney generals Office
who has been here during the Dumas
trial, returned last evening to ST.
Paul. Fire Marshal c. E. Keller re-
turned the night before. Assistant
Fire Marshal Sam Fullerton, -identi-
fed with the case from the time it
first began public, has gone to Bull,
on the iron range. to wage new pros
ecutions.
Attorney E. E. Mcdonald, special
counsel with Thayer Bailey to assist
in the prosecution, has gone to Min
neapoIis but will return in time to
prosecute the perjury charge against
Ole Ferguson Of Deer River, which,
the attorneys for the state say will
come up for trial at the present term
of court
The grand jury, which first met on
September -, was congratulated by
Judge W. S. McClenahan, who was
unusually profuse in his remarks.
Final recommendation of the
grand jury follow:
Grand Jury's Recommendations.
To the Honorable the District
Court of Beltrami County
We, the grand jury of Beltra-
mi county, have examined the
condition of the county jail and
of the court house, and beg leave
to report as follows:
County jail-we find the con-
dition Of the county jail to be
good; that the building is safe
and sanitary, and that it is kept
by the sheriff in a clearly and
proper condition.
Court House - We find the
court house building to be in
good condition throughout, and
that good care is being taken of
the same.
We recommend to the court,
and to the county board, that
one suitable room be permanent
ly set apart for the use of the
grand jury, and that another
suitable room be permanently
set apart for the use of the
petit jury, as the present occu-
pancy of the room in the court
house now leaves but one room
available for both the grand
and petit jury during terms OF
court.
Recommen recon-
mend and earnestly urge the city
council of the city of BemldJl
to pass and rigidly enforce
proper curfew ordinance, to the
end that the young boys and
girls of this city be kept off the
streets in the night time, I'M
less accompanied by their par
ents or guardian. We make this
recommendation because We be-
lieve that the lack of such local
provision is highly detrimental
to the moral interests of this
city. .-.s.. o. 81.
