Bottineau Co. Probe Resumed

Bottineau, N. D., Aug. 5.—Closed banks and alleged liquor law violations are expected to come under the scope of investigation of the Bottineau county grand jury when it is reconvened here this afternoon by Judge C. W. Buttz of Devils Lake.

The jury has been in recess for several weeks due to the fact that other court matters have occupied the attention of Judge Buttz. Before recessing the jury returned indictments against the entire board of county commissioners and the former county treasurer, charging irregularities in connection with the placing of deposits of county money.

Examination of witnesses who have been subpoenaed to appear before the jury will be begun this afternoon, immediately upon the arrival of Judge Buttz, if present plans carry.
