Ranchmen in the northwest who
have fed their cattle hay this winter
have made good hit. The winter has
been an exceptionally good one and
favorable for feeding. says the Drovers
Journal. 1t is very unusual to get hay
fed cattle from the northwest at this
season. The recent shipments have
been so satisfactory that the chances
are many other ranchmen will be
tempted to follow this lead in the
years to come.
There has been only one March in
over twenty five years when cattle sold
higher than they did last month"; The
top was 81. 40, against So IS for March.

SOME MORE CHASING.

There wasn't a single. abusive or
slanderous word in our article last
week, but did you see the ''galled jade
John r. Stout's understudy
had verbal hemorrage last evening.
Wasn't it hot one? We laughed so
hard over it that the county Jail door
ratified, and deputy woke up and
asked if it was clue, or Slater or the
Mcguire boys. or John Doe after his
rations?
Now, in the first place, nobody at
tackled Mr.. Charles Davis personally.
He is good fellow personally and has
many friends, of course. But we have
a perfect right to discuss the acts of
the sheriff, and we will do it without
gloves. We do not question Charles
honesty or integrity at all.
A nice, brown Egyptian mummy is
needed in Rosebud county today to
catch escaping children. Charley got
within one mile of tie boys. That's
ALL No, he returned home. Comment
is unnecessary.
Now about that eight in the win
dow" That is fact. Do you want
the authority? Maybe Charley didn't
say there until two o'clock, but a dep
uty did stay and watch the house all
night. "He seen his duty and done
it, Mister Davis had better sense.
He returned home. Nothing like a
soft bed when sheriff is after clues.
The poor deputy shivered on the cold
night.
But we don't care enough about that
whole kindergarten pursuit to waste
time over it.
But, seriously, let us look into the
facts about Section 3O4O, the Commits
sioners and the Sheriff.
Which Commissioner strongly OPP
posed building of new Jail and pur-
chase of steel cells when approached
by the Chairman of the present board
upon organization of this County?
Answer, Commissioner Freeman Phil
brick.
Now about the sheriff, never yet to
date, notifying the Commissioners of
the condition of the Jail. 1t is his duty
to do SO.
AT Knutson's the posse saw the boys
six miles away. Now, mark you, we
rely on the Times for these facts. The
posse chased the boys from six till
dark figure it out yourself) and then
were within one mile of the boys and
darkness fell, and the posse rode back
four or five miles to Knutson's. That's
a pqzzle. Maybe the posse got confus-
ed with the snow blowing in their fac
es and rode in circle, like a lobster
with one leg off, or maybe the boys
left another decoy light in Knutson's
window.

FACTS AND QUESTIONS.

The provisions of the Penal Code of
this state make it imperative upon the
sheriff to do one of two things, if his
Jail is unfit or unsafe for the confine-
ment of prisoners without a constant
guard. He must either place and keep
guard over them, or report to the
District Court tie untitness of the Jail,
and the District Court will then make
an order designating the Jail of
neighborng county for the con tinement
of such prisoners. If the sheriff does
not do either of these things, he may,
upon, his own esponsibility, place his
pr isoners in any safe place, but one of
these things he is under the law bound
to do, and he cannot shift the RESPONSE
bility for escape upon the shoulders of
others.
How have these mandates of the law
been complied with by the sheriff's Of
fee of this county? Not only has the
sheriff's office been absolutely deserted
a portion of the time the statute COM
mands it to be open, not only have the
sheriff and his deputies been during
such times as hard to catch as their
own escaped prisoners, but no effort
has been made to properly guard the
/ Jail of this county. Some of the time
they do not even pretend to confine
prisoners committed to their care as
they are required to do by law, and
equally as often volators of the law
are not apprehended, even when red
handed in crime. Charles Green.)
The fact of the matter is, that the
county Jail of this county is sufficiently
equipped to confine the rashest desper-
ado if the sheriff's office will do it's
duty. But ever if this were not so, the
sheriff was bound to take notice of the
fact, and, until its defects could be
remedied, supplement them with his
own vigilance. This he has not done,
| and never attempted.
When did Slater escape? While a
a guard was at the Jail? When did
the kindergarten desperadoes escape?
While a guard was at the Jail? In
each case, no. How did the saws and
tools get in? When guard was on
duty? The whole affair is rotten. A
SIGH sheriff with time and money and
standing, and the power to act under
the law, and the Jail just simply
abandoned at times. 1t is a common
sense proposition.

STOP REVILING AND ANSWER


THE latest issue of the ''official pa
per of Rosebud county, (Times) has
again thrown into a nauseated com
munity another blast of it's hot air.
Purely commendatory of one pet Of
fetal, scurrilious, limiting and indulg-
ing itself in inuendo, against all Dem
ocratic officials, libelously attacking
our BOARD of County Commissioners,
such is the article printed in the little
Starter hand-organ under the cap
zion, Democratic Ignorance and NAL
ice Combined. -
While not desirious of treating min
utely all slanderous mouthings of that
sheet, or to engage in war of words
such as would be inflicted upon the
community by that sheet, we will simp-
ly state facts, and allow those facts
and the discrimination of the public in
general to work their own just deserts.
No attack by this paper has ever
been made upon Charles Davis, the
present incumbent of the sheriff's Of
sice as an individual in a private cap
acity. But, when even a man who is
'fair, square and honest accepts
public office, we maintain that he also
accepts the duties as we'll as the emolu-
rnents of that Office. If Charles Davis
iss more than Gov. Toole's appointee to
that office, if he even exercises SUPER
visory control of the office, it is surely
and certainly to the detriment of his
hardware business, his harness and
saddlery business, his lumber bust
ness, and his ranching and cattle or,
sheep raising, any of which if ever
neglected by said Charles Davis, have
missed but little of his energy. Fair,
square and honest, let us concede
Charles Davis to be. That "the peo-
pie of Rosebud County know the sher-
fif'' and his chosen deputies, and con-
duct of the office. is all sufficient in it.

the game, as he Nelieves that by
footing it merrily over short stretch

He declares that he feels better and
stronger than he ever did before GO

have been watching him during his
training insist that he is faster than
ever.
Fitzsimmons has also tapered of
in his work, having passed the point
where preliminary exercise win cut
any figure. He says that hereafter he
will do his boxing in private. After
experiencing a temporary boom in
betting circles, Fitzsimmons' chances
have receded in the estimation of
spectators until the original odds
of 10 to 4 now prevail. A slight de-

it will be remedied before the fight.
The heavy timbers which support
