and paid withouts being sworn TO.
This schedule is an incomplete list of
claims that have been paid that were
not sworn to. We think that the
claims are still being paid in violation
of the law. We request that the pay
ment of any claim not being properly
sworn to according to statutory law
be refused by the Supervisor and
board of county commission
Schedule number nine is a partial
list of claims paid and issued duly ap-
proved without proper support.
We ask that the Supervisor or the
board or the board of county commits
sioners pay no claims for freight, ex-
press, postage stamps, stationery and
expenses without the receipt or the
bill from the proper agent or party
being attached to said claim.
In schedule number ten is shown
partial list of invoices from mei chants
or others from whom the county pur-
chased supplies which have been duly
paid and approved Ill which were
items OF cash CHARGED indicating that
the mnrchants furnished cash as we'll

find no records Or receipts 20 SHOW

ommend that claims OF this nature
will not be paid unless bills 2nd 20

cash be attached 20 claims.
There appears to be no satisfactory
rer0rt Of what became Of this cash
furnished By the merchants. which. Il
not only evidence cf irregularities, but
represents gross careles5ness on the
part Of those responsible for the ancit
and payment of such charges.
We prepared schedule number
eleven of all the claims issued by the
County Supervisor during the period
we have had reviewed with special
reference to the classified summation
necessary in presenting intelligent il
formation of the expenses of the
county.
In schedule number twelve is shown
summarization of expenses of the
chain gang. The groceries purchased
during the year, as will be seen, about
So, 10000, and the examination of the
invoices and bills representing the pur-
chases we found such items as eggs,
butter, milk, tea, ice, oranges, lemons,
cheese, WATERS, macalo oni, etc., etc..
indicating that the fare provided for
the conticts and guards was as good
as the local market could afford. We
find that there has also been pur-
chased a rubber-tired 5.ggy for the
use of the chaingang, st cost
$e7. so for buggy and harness. 1t ap-
pears to the grand jury that this is
extravaganza on the part of the Off
GERS managing and providing for the
maintenance of said gang. In this
connection, we think it we'll to call at
tention of the court to the fact that
certain convicts are allowed to wear
citizens clothes and permitted to
leave the convict camp alone to visit
their.people and other places as they

have been conveyed to various mem

Mr.. Peck. the owner of the
cemetery property was up here
during the past week. He
stated that few of the smaller
cities had their cemetery in bet
ter condition than the Milbank
cemetery is at the present time,
and stated to Mr. Wood that he
intended to put a neat woven wire
fence around the property. This
will be a very fine improvement
and one which all lot owners
will appreciate.
The committee in charge of the
grounds wish to call the atten-
tion of all lot owners who have
not already made their annual
donation for this years care that
they should do SO at once that
the season S work may be paid
for. The numerous rains kept
the grass growing very rapidly,
and added to the expense of keep
ing the grounds in good order
for the year. If you own lot
visit the cemetery, and observe
the condition of the grounds and
attend to the payment of your
assessment at once.

OLD RESIDENT PASSES AWAY


Mrs J. A. Dillman, whose life has
been hanging by thin cord for sew
eral days. peacefully passed away at
a little after II o'clock Tuesday fore
noon. She had been sick for just q.
bout q year with enema, disease
which impoverished her blood and
baffled the ply sicians to do more than
prOlOng her life and render her final
hours rather peaceful.
Mrs. Dillman's maiden name was
Chloe Ann Flemming and was DOr0
On the 4th day Of August. 1874 AT Ad'
rian, Mich. IN ak ing her little over
50 years at the time OF her death. Her
parents moved from NJ ichigan to Long
Lake. Hennepin County, Minnesota
in 1860. Those were the stirring days
before the war and there it was =
girl. she saw her three brothers march
away to battle She was married to
Andrew Dunbr ack, who died . little
over q year thereafter. This union
was bless sed with little girl, Maud, !,
now Mrs. FL. F.. Jones, and has al
WAYS been her faithful and constant
companion aud at the last held her
loving mothers hand as her spirit
took its flight. In 1871 she was mar.
ried to Jacob A. Dillmsn and to
them were born four sturdy sons:
Willard, Stephen, RAYMOND and Ar
thur. In 1872 Mr.. Dillman took q
home stead near Marshall, Minnesota,
and and in the fall OF 1885 he moved
with his family to Revillo where they
have since resided.
Mrs. Dillman joined the Batpist
church when q girl and was one OF
the org anizers Of the local Cougrega a.
tional church more tn an q quarter OF
, century ago, and had been 8 con-
slant supporter and attended up TO
the time her failing health prevented
her walking to the door any longer.
During that time she has held such
church positions - CLERK. trustee and
deacOness.
For months she had realized that
desth vas making its steady ap-
proach but that had no fears for her.
Her whole life had been so spotless
and Christiau-like and her Savior
was SO real and personal to her that
the only reluctance she felt when COO
templat!ng her sure. soon end, was
the sorrow OF parting with her loved
ones. No mothers heart ever yearn-
ed more tender.y for her children than
her's. During the last days when
the insidious disease had impaired
her intellect and she fell into irratiOn-
IL moments, or during a troubled
sleep, the names OF her dear ones
we're ever on her lips.
Owing to an early going to press
ws cannot give q full account of the
funeral services other than to say
that they were held at 2 O'Clock
Thursday afternoon from the Congre-
Qational church and that Rev. Hugh
Hay. who has very graciously minis
tered to her spiritual needs at the
home during the last few weeks, con-
Quoted the last sad rites. She was
laid beside her mother, in the local
cemetery and thus ended the earthly
life Of noble woman Of whom it
can be truthfully said that those who
knew her the best loved her the most.

Chinese Pheasants

Senator G S. Amden this week
received consignment of Chi
nese pheasants from the state
authorities for distribution over
the county, the object being to
propagate them as game birds.
Some five punches each one with
cock and three hens, were put
out in the groves as follows:
John Black, for the park at
Big Stone; J. f. Mckenna, Kill
born; Seigfreid Bohn, at Twin
Brooks; Wesley SWenson, at La
bolt; 3. Peschong, Alban. Sew
eral years ago number Of these
birds were placed in groves in
the county, but it is believed that
hunters shot them down before
they had a chance to breed. Il
is hoped that this will not be
done, as any one known to shoo
them will be prosecuted.

Break Jail
Two Inmates of County Jail Make
Escape Monday Night

When Deputy Sheriff Craw-
ford went to give breakfast to
the two prisoners in the county
Jail Tuesday morning, they were
not there and he found jammed
key in the door. The prisoners
were being held for a hearing at
the fall term of court, and had in
some manner managed to make
Ia key out of a tobacco box.
With this they had gotten into
the sheriff's Office, and made
their escape thru an upper win
dow, dling q window bar. Be
fore leaving they abstracted
$28. .35 from a drawer in the sher
ifs desk, and so had a little
money to go on when they start
ed on their journey. The money
however, belonged to them and
was in the keeping of the sheriff.
They also took a cap belonging
to the sheriff, but left both of the
reyolvers which they might have
appropriated had they desired
to. Efforts we're at once made
to recapture the fugitives, the
