REPORT Of THE GRAND JURY

active public opinion must de-
mand il. and the libertine. the a.
dulterer. the vagabond and the
prostitute must pay The f.naities
of violated law.
A very large part Of the time
OF our present session has been
consumed in the investigation Of
facts connected with this charac-
ter Of offense.
We have examined into the
finances Of our county and the adj
ministrati0n Of its affairs by our
County and Precinct officers 50
far is it seemed necessary or prac
tical for US 20 do SO. IL has now
been nearly two years since the
appointment has been made Of a
finance committee 10 audit the
accounts of the several county
and precinct officers Of the coun-
" and we recommend that the APP
p0intment of such committee
should be made with instructions
20 make report az the next term Of
our district court.
We find from our investiga-
tions that the laws for the enfOrc-
Cd collection Of delinquent taxes
have not al all been we'll enfOrc-
cd in our county and large lists
OF such delinquencies have been
passed by the Commissioners
court Of orr county We especial.
ly call attention 10 the insolvent
delinquent list. We find upon
this list OF names of persons
and firms that should not have
been placed there By the tax col
lectOr nor approved by the Com
missi0ners Court for the reason
that such parties were not ins0l-
vent and the taxes that they are
owing to the State and county
can be collected By the issuance
and placing IN the hands of the
Sheriff of Tax executions. We
find that little if any effort has
heretofore been made by the sher-
III and tax collector to enforce
collections Of taxes on personal
property about to be removed, or
already removed from the coun-
~ and we suggest that instruc-
tons from your Honor TO the Off
GERS charged with these duties
would be productive Of good and
the better enforcement Of the law
provided in such cases. for we be-
lieve that this apparent negli-
gence Of duty on the part of such
officers is the result, largely OF
not understanding correctly the
powers conferred upon them by
the laws Of our state.
Respectfully submitted.

SLOW GRIND IN c0WAN CASE
MANY WITNESSES CALLED

The Cowan impeachment trial con-
tinues a Bismarck and no one is able
to even predict the end.
Some eight to ten witnesses are ex-
amined daily and the following taken
from the Bismarck Tribune are fair
samples:
Fred Traynor of Devils Lake said that
he was in the district court room at
Devils Lake when the case of John
Michaels, charged with violating the
prohibition law, was called, and that
Cowan appointed Attorney McClory as
defending attorney after he himself had
been named by defendant. On that
occasion Traynor said Cowan was drunk
on the bench. On April 4. last year.
Traynor said Cowan was also drunk.
and that he saw him on that day.
George Hancock, the Fargo architect,
said that he had entered a court room in
Devils Lake and there saw Cowan On the
bench asleep. and the witness said
that the judge was, in his opinion.
''dribbling drunk, meaning that Cowan
was in such a condition that water was
running from his mouth. The cross
examination elected nothing new except
that Hancock and Attorney Cutther be-
came involved in a dispute.
Attorney Scott Rex of Grand Forks
said that on June Is. 1909, he saw
Cowan in the Cramond hotel partially
intoxicated and smelled liquor on him
plainly. Durina the progress of the
trial on the forenoon Of that day he was
partially intoxicated and unable to fol-
low the .cour procedure. In the after
noon he said that Cowan went to sleep
in the afternoon for a space Of from 10
to 20 minutes, being in a drunken
stupor. The witness also said that
lie had seen Cowan at Lakota July II,
1910, both in the hotel and on the
street, and that the jurist was ':'silly
drunk. as the witness termed it. Al

that the judge had talked ina foolish
