The unsatisfactory condition of the court house, its insufficient accom- modations for the proper transaction of the public business, and the utter hopelessness of accomplishing any sufficient results through additions to the present structure have been generally recognized for the past twenty years,

HISTORY OF STEARNS COUNTY
but from a feeling of timidity and false spirit of economy on the part of the commissioners and from local jealousies nothing has been done. At a session of the county board held September 10, 1891, a report from the grand jury -similar to many which had proceeded it-was read, wherein the attention of the board was called to the insufficient accommodations provided by the present court house for the transaction of the county business, and advis- ing against the further expenditure of public money on these buildings. The board "recognizing the urgent necessity for more spacious, convenient and secure accommodations and buildings for the county" appointed a commit- tee consisting of B. Pirz, Edward Miller, John Schwinghammer, Joseph Scheelar and David Cleveland-being in fact the full membership of the board itself-to make inquiry and report on the following matters:
1-Do the public interests require a new court house and jail ?
2-Can the present court house and jail be utilized by alteration or ex- change ?
3-What tract should be selected as a permanent site for the public buildings of this county ?
4-For what amount can title to suitable tract of land be obtained whereon to build a court house and jail ?
5-Within what time should new court house and jail be completed ?
6-What sum or amount should be expended for such purpose ?
7-How should the necessary sum or amount be raised ?
8-Is it for the public interest to have the court house and jail build- ings upon one site or tract ?
9-Can the county of Stearns and the city of St. Cloud unite or combine in the construction of a new court house and jail or either ?
This little spurt on the part of the commissioners fell still-born, noth- ing further being heard of it.
A petition from the Trades and Labor Assembly asking that immediate steps be taken toward the erection of a good substantial court house and jail to be completed during the years 1895 and 1896, presented to the board at a meeting held March 19, 1895, was laid on the table.
Five years after the adoption of the resolutions and the appointment of the committee given above, during which interval the building of a new court house was a subject of wide discussion, the board of commissioners yielded to the public pressure sufficiently to adopt the following resolution at a meeting held January 8, 1896 :
Whereas, A petition signed by more than one hundred legal voters of this county, who are freeholders therein, has been duly presented to this board setting forth that it is the desire of said petitioners that the county of Stearns, Minnesota, shall erect and construct a court house at the county seat of said county, the cost thereof not to exceed the sum of $75,000; now therefore it is hereby
"Resolved, That the question of building and erecting said court house be submitted to the legal voters of said county of Stearns at the next general election to be held in and for said county on Tuesday, November 3, 1896."
This resolution found its resting place in the graveyard which held so
162
HISTORY OF STEARNS COUNTY
many of its predecessors, nothing further being heard of or from it, and Stearns county, one of the most populous and wealthy counties in the state, has for the transaction of its public business one of the most ill-constructed, ill-looking and inconvenient court houses to be found in the state. This should not be permitted much longer to continue.
There is considerable uncertainty as to the amount of bonds issued and actually paid by the county for the court house. The early records were poorly kept and are much confused. As has been noted, the first issue of bonds authorized was for $6,000 at the meeting of July 7, 1856. It is said that these bonds were put into the hands of an agent to be negotiated in New York, that they were lost, and that only two, of $1,000 each, were recovered. A later bond issue of $7,000 was provided for. The St. Cloud Democrat of January 10, 1861, makes the direct charge that the county authorities had "issued two separate sets of bonds for $7,000 each which were delivered to John L. Wilson on his contract to build a court house for $7,000. He disposed of both sets of bonds, made a hole in the ground, in- tended for a cellar, and then suspended operations. The holders of these $14,000 bonds are clamorous for payment." While the action of the county board at the July meeting referred to only authorized the issning of $6,000 it would subsequently appear that the actual issue was $7,000. The court house was completed and accepted in 1864, being built from the proceeds of land deeded to the county by Mr. Wilson. The published financial state- ment of Stearns county for the period from January 1, 1866, to February 28, 1867, contains among the liabilities : "Amount of outstanding bonds (in- terest not included), $7,190." As no bonds had been authorized or issued save those for court house purposes, it is a fair inference that this amount represented what was outstanding at that time of the court house bonds and there is no record covering any previous period as to bond obligations.
A paragraph in the St. Cloud Journal of July 8, 1869, throws a ray of light on the subject : "All the old court house bonds have been redeemed except $2,600, not dne until 1872. The county jail has all been paid for. The relief fund has also been liquidated, and Stearns county is in a good condi- tion financially."
COUNTY JAIL.
As during the years following its organization Stearns county had no court house, it likewise had no jail. Ordinarily culprits were confined in the town lock-up, while those whose offenses against the majesty of the law were more serious, were sent to the Ramsey county jail for confinement. This proved to be both inconvenient and expensive. Finally March 2, 1861, the county board purchased the jail building, a log structure, which had been built by the town of St. Cloud on the lot now occupied by the Methodist church. B. Overbeck was allowed $15 in county orders for labor performed on it, and the sum of $150 in county orders was appropriated "for the re- newal and erection of a county jail." Commissioner Fowler was appointed a committee of one to draw the plans and specifications and take charge of the work. He reported April 2 that the jail had been completed and it was
163
HISTORY OF STEARNS COUNTY
accepted by the board and he was paid $12 for his services as superintend- ent. Instead of there having been any "removal" or "erection" the old building was enlarged and put into somewhat better condition for the pur- pose for which it was intended and let go at that. Soon afterwards, June 4, the county board directed that the jail be "properly ventilated by putting at least one good grated window in the front room and grated windows in the cell doors," and further that "the said jail be properly cleaned at least twice each week during the summer season and while prisoners arc confined there." The sheriff was authorized to employ a guard for the jail, to be paid $1.25 per day while on duty.
When the board of commissioners met January 3, 1865, a crisp little missive from the district court, reading as follows, was presented for its consideration : "We the grand jurors have examined the Stearns county jail and we pronounce it a perfect nuisance." This evidently took the breath away from the commissioners, rendering them incapable of prompt action, and on motion the communication was laid over until the next meet- ing-nuisance or no nuisance.
A full year passed before the matter had any further consideration from the county board, although the commissioners readily admitted that it was "unfit" for use and had been "so reported by cach grand jury of said county for many years last past." After this confession, placed on record at the meeting held January 4, 1866, and sundry reasons given why it would be economical as it was desirable to build a new jail, which should be of brick, the board directed that the matter be submitted to the people of the county at an election to be held the first Tuesday in April. Very evidently the neces- sity for a new jail did not appeal to the voters of the county generally, as the proposition was defeated by a vote of 360 for to 385 against. Just what affected public sentiment in the different localities it would be difficult at this date to determine, as in some of the towns the vote was solidly in favor of a new jail, while in others closely adjoining it was solidly in opposition. While St. Cloud gave 202 votes for and only 9 against, Brockway straight 13 favorable and Lynden 20 to 1, St. Augusta, a neighboring town, gave only 4 favorable votes to 55 in opposition; Le Sauk, adjoining St. Cloud, cast her entire 25 votes in the negative, as did Oak her 51 votes, while the vote of Sauk Centre was 8 to 43, Munson, 3 to 34 and Maine Prairie 4 to 40. Al- though the margin was a narrow one it left the "perfect nuisance" the only thing available for jail purposes.
Another year passed without any improvement in the situation until at a session held May 7, 1867, the board resolved that the jail was "unfit for the purpose" intended and that it was "expedient to erect a good and sub- stantial jail without delay," nothing being said this time about submitting the matter to a vote of the people. Commissioners E. H. Atwood, H. J. Fowler and B. Pirz were appointed a committee to decide on a proper loca- tion for a jail building and receive bids for its erection, report to be made at the county board Jnue 17. The committee at that time reported having received three bids: W. T. Clark, $5,900; John R. Clark, $7,900; Wolfgang Eich, $8,150-each bidder stipulating for cash payments. These bids not
164
HISTORY OF STEARNS COUNTY
being regarded as satisfactory were all rejected and the committee was given further time. The next attempt, July 30, was even less successful, only two bids being received, one from John R. Clark for $9,900, and one from Wolfgang Eich for $9,200, whereupon the board resolved to postpone further action until the September session. A final conclusion was reached Septem- ber 5, when it was decided to accept the Wolfgang Eich bid of $9,200 as be- ing "the lowest and best bid," the building to be completed by August 1, 1868, payment to be made in cash with the exception of one bond for $2,000, bearing twelve per cent interest and due March 1, 1869. The jail was ac- cepted September 4, 1868, Eich being allowed $275 for extra work. It was built of red brick against the west wall of the court house, the two forming practically one building
A contract was awarded September 10, 1889, to the Champion Iron Works of Kenton, Ohio, for eight cells, to be constructed on the bar and plate system, at a cost of $5,120. March 2, 1898, a contract for eight Bessemer steel cells, costing $1,135, was awarded to the St. Cloud Iron Works. Four of these cells are on the second floor, for the use of female prisoners on the rare occasions when any are needed. On this floor are also the living rooms for the sheriff and his family, the office rooms being on the first floor.
While the jail is far from being what it should be yet its deficiencies are much less in evidence than are those of the court house. When a new building is erected it will doubtless include a jail as well as a court house.
TITLE TO THE SITE.
As the manner in which the county obtained title to the property on which the court house and jail were built, has been a matter of frequent discussion, with varying statements as to the facts in the case, we give here- with the claim of title taken from the records in the county auditor's and register of deeds' offices.
The first instrument is a quit-claim deed, bearing date August 21, 1856, from John L. Wilson to the County Commissioners of Stearns county, Min- nesota territory, by which, for a consideration of $100, a certain tract is conveyed to the county, with conditions as follows: "To have and to hold so long as the same shall be used and occupied as a court house, for the said county of Stearns, or the county in which said building is situated, but whenever the following described piece or parcel of land shall cease to be used and occupied as a court house for the said county of Stearns, or the county in which the said building may hereafter be located, the within and following described piece or parcel of land shall revert back to the said John L. Wilson, party of the first part, his heirs or assigns, and shall no longer be the property or under the control of the said county of Stearns in the territory aforesaid, and described as follows, to-wit: Commencing at a point eight rods north, 47 degrees east of the center of Columbia Square; thence north 43 degrees, west ten rods; thence at right angles with said line west- erly sixteen rods; thence at right angles with said line south 43 degrees east twenty rods; thence at right angles with said line north 47 degrees east sixteen rods; thence at right angles with said line north 43 degrees west ten

rods to the place of beginning, containing two acres "xxx" provided that said commissioners shall have the right and privilege of disposing of said court house at a fair appraisal or the highest bidder whenever they cease to occupy the same as above specified."
Then followed a quit-claim deed dated August 21, 1858, whereby for a consideration of $2,500, John L. Wilson deeded to the Board of Supervisors of Stearns county, Minnesota, block R; also lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 10, block 61; lots 2, 3, 6 and 7, block 18; lot 1, block G; lot 5, block 46, in the town of St. Cloud (Middle Town).
Under date of January 8, 1861, for a consideration of $300, John L. Wilson by quit-claim deed conveyed to the Board of County Commissioners of Stearns county, Minnesota, lot 1, block G; lots 2, 3, 6 and 7, block 18; and lots 4 and 5, block 47, in the town of St. Cloud, for the use of said Stearns county.
On the fifteenth day of November, 1860, under the provisions of an act of congress passed May 23, 1844, the town of St. Cloud entered at the St. Cloud land office certain lands, which included Wilson's survey, "in trust for the several use and benefit of the occupants thereof, according to their re- spective interests." By warranty deed dated March 12, 1861, James C. Shepley, president, and James Broker, as recorder, of the town of St. Cloud for a consideration of $16.80, conveyed to the county of Stearns lot 1, block G; lots 2, 3, 6 and 7, block 18; and lots 4 and 5, block 47, all in the town of St. Cloud according to the plat and survey thereof made by John L. Wilson and recorded in the office of the register of deeds of said county, "for the use and benefit of said county."
John L. Wilson and wife, January 8, 1861, by warranty deed, for a con- sideration of $7,000 (being the amount of an issue of court house bonds) conveyed to the Board of County Commissioners of the county of Stearns, Minnesta, Columbia Square, ten acres, "for the use of Stearns county and assigns forever."
By a second warranty deed, dated January 24, 1863, for a consideration of $155.75, the town of St. Cloud deeded to the Board of County Commission- ers of Stearns county, Minnesota, lots 2, 3, 6 and 7, block 18; lots 4 and 5, block 47; lot 1, block G, and all of Columbia Square, excepting therefrom a small part of lot 2, block 18, lying over into Lowry's addition in said town.
John L. Wilson's original plat of the town of St. Cloud, filed Septem- ber 1, 1855, did not have the blocks divided into lots; a supplementary plat, acknowledged April 23, 1857, was filed on which the separate lots were shown. Columbia Square was given as being 726x608 feet. It was sub- divided by James H. Place in 1863, into the court house square with the four surrounding blocks subdivided into lots.
