without any intent to commit any Of
tense or violate the law. 1t would
seem that after they had received
information from one who had assist
ed in making the law, they would have
some right to rely upon that iriforma-
ton and in the eyes of the law, would
not be violating it. 1t is not the pro-
vince of the prosecutors office to file
informations merely to keep the
courts busy, but it becomes his duty
after complaint is filed, to investi-
gate and from a fair and impartial
investigation, to determine whether
an offense has been committed which
will justify the expense in prosecu-
ton, and protect the interests Of the
public. -.
"From the evidence that have at
hand and from an impartial investiga-
ton of the complaint made against
these parties, do not believe that any
benefit will be derived from such pros
ecution and I do not believe that any
convictions could be had under the
law, and am not justifiable ip max
ing any further expense in regard to
this complaint.
"It is right and proper to bring
men to justice, but it is just as proper
and right to bring justice to them as
we'll.

such as were used for food and none

done and for my information and from
the facts I can not see any good rea-

viction of anyone and nothing gained.
The statute referred to by represen-

white people and Indians for food for
themselves, and for their families

at such limited times and under such
rules and regulations as shall be from
time to time prescribed by the COM
