KIMBALL COMPLETES REPORT
AtsiiUnt County Attorney Tells What He
Hai Done.
WORK OF HIS OFFICE FOR THE LAST YEAR
Aunilirr of Cnsen Prosecuted Muring
18IMI (ircnlcr Than for Prccrdlon
' Venr, Hut Cost (it the County
C'oiiKldcriibl)' I.chs.
Assistant County Attorney Clem F. Klin
ball hns completed his report of tho work
of his olllce for 1E93 and filed It yesterday
with County Auditor Innes for submission to
tho Hoard of Supervisors. The report shows
that the assistant couuty attorney had super
vision of 428 criminal cases In tho lower
courta of tho city and of elghty-Blx through
out tho county. Tho total costs to the
county In tho cases In the city amounted
to $2, 182.37 and those In tho county to
$7 10.22. The average coat per case In the
city wag $5.80 and In the country courts
8.0.
In the city In 121 cases convictions wcro
secured, In nlnety-Bevcn the defendants
were acquitted, ir,2 casts were dismissed
teforo being brought to trial and llfty-llvo
are still pending. In tho courta In the coun
try thirty-eight convictions were had, In
twenty-two cases the defendants were ac
quitted, ton cases were dismissed and nix
teen are ntlll pending.
Mr. Kimball gives a compara'ivc state
ment slowing tho cases brought In 1SUG and
1S08, the cost lo tho county and the average
cost per case. In 189G there wero 375 cases
brought In tho different courts at a co-it to
the county of $1,3311.78, or an average of
$11.57 per case. In 1S98 there were 117
cases brought nt a total cost to the county
of $3,211.13. or an ilvornen of J7.70 nor cum.
This statement tends to show that whllo
tho number of cases in 18D9 was greater than
In cither 1898 or 1898, the costs to tho
county were considerably less.
In concluding his report, Mr. Kimball
says: "Your attention Is called to tho fact
that them have been a few more cases filed
this year than In 1896 or 1898, but tho bar
bers' cases aro included, and perhaps ac
count for that fact. Tho law gives tho
county attorney no control over tho Cling of
informations, but only tho power to dismiss.
In order to prevent even the filing of cases
In which it would bo Impossible to convict
nnd those not brought in good faith nn effort
was made by this olllce to obtain an agree
ment with tho two Justices and tho superior
Judge to refer such cases before filing an
Information. Not all of tho Judges would
sign such an agreement, but they have all
acted, In many Instances, upon the sugges
tion. "It will bo seen that It has cost $5.77 less
per case, on an average, for tho prosecution
of cuses In the lower courts In 1899 than It
did In 1896. Taking tho number of cases
filed this last year, 128, there has been a
saving of $2,469.06. This lucludes only the
(direct saving of fees In the lower court. A
great saving Is ulso Indirectly made In tho
preparation of cases for the grand Jury and
higher courts which It Is dlfllcult to com
pute. "It will also be noted that there Is a wide
difference In tho comparative number of
convictions end acquittals, In 1S96 thero
being twenty more acquittals than convic
tions, whllo last year there wero twenty
Bcven more convictions than acquittals.
Tho policy of this olllce has been to dis
miss before the costs of trial aro made such
cases as aro brought maliciously, for private
adrantago or gain, and those In which tho
wltnesces for the prosecution fall by their
testimony to make a case in law, henco tho
comparatively largo numbor of dismissals.
"Hccent law provides that poaco ofllccrs,
on salaty or receiving other fees for at
tendance, shall not receive witness fees
without nn order of tho court. As the
courts did not sco fit to make an order in
most rases where such ofllccrs testified, It
became my plain duty to rocomniond such
fees be not allowed. By reason of a con
stant effort to save expense, thero has been
some criticism by those who put their selfish
Interest above that of tho public good, but
ns a rule the various ofllccrs havo assisted,
even to decreasing their compensation In
many Instances, In keeping the expense down
to tho reasonable, nnd hnvo spoken words
of assurance nnd commendation rclatlvo
thereto.
"Tho fines nnd forfeitures collected for
tho year 1899 are In amount $388.65, the
amount collected for tho same period In 189S
being $240. This fact Is, however, of no
Importance, as tho collection of fines and
tho forfeiture of bonds of necessity varies
from year to year greatly."

" I've got a little touch of indigestion "
Bays one man. Another says, "my
stomach feels a little out of sorts." It
is just such little things which if neg
lected mean the total loss of health.
The one medicine for disorders and
diseases of the stomach and organs of
digestion and nutrition is Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. It increases
the activity of the whole digestive and
nutritive system, clears away obstruc
tions, stops the loss the lxdy sustains by
undigested or partly digested food, titirt
fics the hlood front the poisons resulting
from imperfect digestion, and increases
the secretions of the hlood making
glands. "Golden Medical Discovery"
has a wonderful record of cures of 6o
called "hopeless" cases.
