un precisely as Sunday school or as

but it was run as a good, clean, ecOno-
, mical government. Crime was punished,
| saloons regulated and controlled, not by
official manifestos to mislead and de-

be stated as historical fact, that under

cation In municipal affairs. with the
times, matters in that regard have
changed. WILLIAM PITT MURRAY.

out apparently moving a muscle of his
face, stepped from the bench and or
dered his police force to arrest the old
fellow. After his arrest he quietly said:
Hold him while l write out a commit
ment for contempt Of court. He goes to
the guardhouse at Fort Smelling for six
ty days." In those days the people of st.
Paul were so law abiding there was not
even Jail. The old fellow-who, by
by the way, was secretary of the terri
tory-realizing that he had made a
mistake, said: Hold on, Judge, / want
to apologize" Which he did In very
handsome manner, after which the
court gave him good roasting and let
him 20. The finale OF the case of the
boy may be stated. He was indicted.
but when the case came on for trial the
Indictment had disappeared. In those
days it was cheaper to have an indict-

defend prisoner, especially If he was
guilty.

the plat of st. Paul proper and Rice &

for an election OH the 9th day of May,

The High School Football Club.

The High School bays have gotten to-
gether one of the best teams that ever rep
resented Butler. They have light team,
but work and practice enables them TO de-
feat heavier ones. Their latest victory
was on Monday afternoon, when they de-
feated the Sunbury Acadamy team 70 to 0.
In the first half (of 20 minutes) the High
Schools scored Il points, and, after ten
minutes rest, went into the second hall
and played like fiends, scoring ii points in
10 minutes and making the total score 26
to 0. The whole team played good ball.
To-day High School is playing the Re
serve college team at Grove City. A good
game is expected and High School hopes
to be in sight at the finish.
On Thanksgiving they have the hardest
game of the season, when they play at
Beaver Falls, with the crack team OF that
place. The High Schools will probably
suffer their first defeat there, but will fight
hard for victory.
