IN PERPETUAL CONTEMPT.
Judge Sage Imposes Sentence on At
tOrney Burnet, Which May Prove
to BE for Life,

to lie for Life.
CINCINNATI, Jan. l0.-Judge Sage, of
the United States court, today imposed
an extraordinary sentence upon William
B. Burnet.
Burnet is leading lawyer and was
United States district attorney here dur
ing Cleveland's first term. He married
into one of Cincinnatis wealthiest
families. Some time ago he became the
attorney for Mrs. Bennett, a widow,
whose husband left her about $4,000.
AS her attorney Burnet was given this
money to invest, and he purchased sew
eral Newport, KY, water works bonds,
valued at about $4,000. When Mrs.
Bennett eventually asked him for these
bonds Burnet could not produce them.
Litigation followed, and finally the arrest
of Burnet on criminal charge.
When the case came up in the federal
courts Mrs. Bennett being a resident Of
Iowa., Burnet was asked to produce the
bonds. He would not, or could not
Judge Sage sent him to Lebanon Jail for
six months for contempt of court
While there he was stricken with typhoid
fever and nearly died. Two weeks ago
he was brought here very sick man,
and again Judge Sage demanded the
bonds. and Burnet again refused. Fur
ther action was postponed until today.
This morning Judge Sage reproduced
contradictory statements made by Bur
net and then commanded the latter, in
the name of the United States, to pro
duce the bonds. Burnet was still de-
hant. Judge Sage thereupon imposed
sentence. ~ Burnet is to be confined in
the Lebanon Jail for sixty days with the
proviso that if at the end of that time
there is no disclosure made by him IN re-
lation to the bonds his imprisonment
shall continue until he makes dsclos-
ure.
Burnet may therefore spend the rest
of his natural life prisoner.

Irrigation.

Horace Greeley IL said to have been or
the opinion that irrigation was better
than rain for producing large crops.
he argued that the farmer who could
turn on the water at will would secure
largcr yields than the man who had
70 walt for the early and the latter-day
rains The supply OF water To be OBJ
tanned in the West is amazingly large.
The New York Journal of Commerce
says.
~ source OF watcr-pOwer peculiar to
the West is already competing with that
derived from the surface flow. The ar
tesian wells Of the Dakotas show "A pres
sure which varies from 30 pounds 10 100
pounds per square inch. In South Dakota
there are in working operation two
AcCtric-lightlng plants and ten Touring
mills. all propelled by this power. The
significance Of that fact may BE- better
appreciated by remembering that not
only under the valleys Of the Missouri
but as far east as the divide of the James
river. does there exist the largest ar
tesian basin in the world"
We are sorry this artesian vein does
not extend east Of the divide Of the
James river. But though this basin
does not extend over Virginia, she has
innumerable surface streams which can
be utilized in electric-lightng plants and
otherwise.
