The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1913-10-03

we have a great county, and if
any benefit is to be derived
from this exhibit it should be
we'll represented by our products.
But there is a cloud hanging over
the good name Of Mclean coun-
ty which first should be removed
before we invite new settlers to
our midst, and the first word a
new conner asks about Mclean
county, and that is the mystery
surrounding one Of the
foulest murders that was ever
committed in a civilized commu-
nifty, and, still a deeper mystery
surrounding the trial of this case.
This murder and trial has been
the subject Of comment by every
citizen of the county, but we
have been unable to get any
light. If all rumors be true there
seems to be a lot Of shady doings
in connection with this case.
There has been talk of calling a
Grand Jury to investigate a lot
OF things connected with this foul
murder and the trial which had
been had, and! it may be the
States Attorney is keeping his
own counsel and will present. this
matter fully to a Grand Jury for
it's action, but it is time that
some action was taken to secure
a Grand Jury. There should be-.
some way to enlighten the pub
lie. Twelve men, good and true,
sat for days trying to get at
the real facts in this case
Washburn full of witnesses, de-
tectives, as the bills show, and
others who professed to know
something about the case, and
then read what one Of these
twelve men, good and true, says
about the case as presented to
them. This IS a case where the
States Attorney cannot remain
passive. He owes it to himself
and the people of Mclean county
who through their votes showed
their confidence in his ability
and integrity as an official, to
give them some light on this i'm
portant matter. The people pay
the bills, and the county has ex-
pended ovs" 100000 for assist
ant attorney fees, say nothing
about a regularly appointed and
paid assistant in his office; and
in view Of this we can see no ca
son why the States Attorney
should not take the people into
his confidence, to this extent, at
least, and assure them that this
whole matter will be laid before
a Grand Jury Of the people, and
those who committed perjury, if
any there be, will be properly and
Immediately prosecuted. If it is
on account Of the expenditure
of money already had on ac-
count of assistant attorney fees,
expert witness, and detective
fees, that he fears making more
expenses upon the county, let this
be known and we assure you that
can raise the money by sub
scription to pay for a Grand
Jury in less time than raising
money for a County Exhibit.
The people are at adj times more
Interested in their personal Sc
curity that in their future pro-
perty.
The people feel that to let a
crime Of this kind go unheeded
is the foulest blot on the name
of our fair county, and certain
ly reflects no credit on the Of
fetal charged with the duty Of
protecting our citizens if this
matter is to stop here.
There was a time when such
matter died out, but if we can
understand the temper Of the
taxpayers this matter is only
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1913-10-03

commencing to come to life.
The people have come to look
upon county officials in quite a
different light than formerly.
Taxpayers are part and parcel of
the County Corporation, they as
such pay the bills, and in return
demand protection for themselves
and their neighbors, and also de-
mand that the official take them
into their confidence as to. the
inside working of county affairs.
They demand that each and every
officer in some way give the pub
l;c a detailed report Of their
stewardship. How long would
one remain a stakeholder of a
private corporation and put up
his cold cash to support it, if the
officers did not make a detailed
report Of the business of the
corporation. This is the identi-
cal position we are all in as
taxpayers of the county. We have
stock in the County Corporation
to the extent of our taxable pro-
perty and yet in some case, we
elect those to office to manage
our corporation who have no tax
able property that cannot be re-
moved out Of the corporation,
who are officers for revenue
only and no interest in the well
fare Of the county, las a county.
They do not realize the solemn
trust imposed upon them as such
officers. Solemn, for the reason
that before entering upon the
duties Of such an office the law
requires that the official take
an oath that he will discharge
the duties of his office according
to the law Of the land.
We also have a public examin-
err whose duty it is to make an
examination Of the different Of
fices. We notice by the papers
that an examination has been
made of the county offices in
Mclean county, and that not
alone by the public examiner but
by private examiners, and occas-
sionally we read some such no.
tice as this, "Such and such an
office is in good shape, so says
the Examiner" aGe
Such a statement in a news
paper, lis an injustice to every
other officer in the county. 1t
is a hint that other officers are
not as they should be. Now, Mr..
Leader, why do you, as one of ire
official papers of Mclean county,
neglect to publish the report Of
the Public Examiner and Of the
private examiners who have ex-
amined the different officers of
Mclean county, is it not your
duty to publish these reports?
Then the people can read for
themselves and know from this
report the condition of the seve-
raj offices, and the only conclu-
sion that the people can arrive at
is that someone is either interest
ed, or his friends or has been
bought off to smother these re-
ports. And we would suggest
that if the Leader is, and wants
to be fair in this matter it will
publish the reports of the Pub
lie Examiner covering a period Of
the last four or five years, and
we believe it is your duty as an
! official paper Of the county to
do SO. A case just in point, and
that is this, some time since the
Leader published an interview
with the public examiner, and in
this interview the County Aud
itpr was praised for the manner
in which the office was being cor
ducted-not a word about any Of
the other officers. Mclean cour-
ty has other good and competent
officers, why were they not all
mentioned, or better yet why not
