Sioux Falls Press, s.: Among the six
prisoners in the county Jail is Wilfred
Manson, sentenced to the present term
of federal court to pay q fine OF $500, to
stand convicted until the fine was paid.
Manson will 60 free at the expiration Of
thirty days. He cannot pay the fine,
and under q provision Of the statute will
be released at the expiration Of thirty
days by taking what is known as the
poor debtors oath. William Pye was
convicted jointly with Manson of larceny
from the postofice at Bryant, and re
ceived a like sentence. But he was
possessed Of property and was obliged to
pay his fine not being able to. avoid it, az
Manson, by pleading the poor debtor. It
is q question which is the worse: paying
the $500 or serving the thirty days In jail.

fortunate escapade, and will work to re-
pay his father the $500 which the latter
paid to secure the boys release. The
Pyes are said to beeminently respectable
people, possessed Of considerable
property.
