Golden Valley chronicle. (Beach, Billings County, N.D.) 1905-1916, 1908-11-27

There are one or two men in
Beach who think it their duty to
knock and do what they can to in
jure this paper. At some near day
in the future they may take
tumble to themselves and wake up
to the fact that every knock is
boost. Such men are mighty COM
mon clay; they are no use to
town. However, like mosquitoes
and flies, they are not fatal but
disagreeable to have about. We
hope they will fall out of bed
some night and that the jar will be
sufficient to cause them to forget
their personal animosities. The
Chronicle will not grow any fast
er if they cease their Knocking
but it would be benefit to the
town and themselves.

A LOST CONVICT WAS
FOUND IN JACKSON
Webster County Never Advised Prison Trust
ees What They Did With Him.
Jackson, Miss, Feb. 29. :

jackson, Miss, Feb. 29. -
Judge Hardy, of the Seacoast
district has written the secretal y
of the board of trustees of the
penitentiary that one, John SIN
claire, in the Harrison county
jail awaiting transportation to
the penitentiary. He explains
that Sinclaire was convicted of
rape last April and sentenced to
life Imprisonment. His attor-
ney filed notice of appeal, but
never perfected it, and the pris-
orer has remained in Jail all
these months when he might
have been employed last summer
and fall helping just about twelve
hundred other men to make cot
ton and corn.
Another instance of this kind
came to light a few days since.
Dud Draine was convicted in
Webster county on the charge of
murder and sentenced to the
penitentiary for life. Pending
his appeal he was sentenced to
the Kinds county Jail here for
safe keeping, and was forgotten
about. The supreme court final
ly affirmed the decision, and the
clerk of the supreme court mott
fled the penitentiary authorities
of the action of that tribunal.
The sergeant was dispatched to
Waithall, Webster county, for
the prisoner, but he was not
there, No report had been made
to the prison authorities that the
prisoner had been sent to the
Kinds county jail, but he was
found here, and sent on to the
farm.

THREE DOLLARS A DAY
FOR THE JURORS
The GOvernOr Has Signed the Bill That ln-
creases the Jurors Stipend.

Jackson. Miss, Feb. 29.-Gov.
Noel has signed the bill which
gives more pay to jurors, and
hereafter those men who serve
the State of Mississippi in this
capacity Will be paid three dol
lars per day instead of two fifty,
as heretofore.
Under the terms of the en-
acting clause of the bill it takes
effect from and after passage,
and for that reason every man
who served the State as juror In
any county yesterday is entitled
to the increased pay.
This is measure of great i'm
portance. 1t will increase the
expenses of every county in the
State by from S6 to S12 per day,
and in counties like Kinds. where
courts hold about twenty weeks
during the year, or la days the
increase will be an inconsider-
able item. footing up more than
one thousand dollars per annum.
However. jurors have been
poorly paid heretofore. Two
# ~ may be more than some
jurors are worth, as many of
en- never make 50. 80 per day
ordinarily, but when they have
t come long distances and
hoard in town while attending
court their expenses take the
most of their pay.
Three dollars per day is not
too much for a good juror. The
intelligent and prosperous farm
er cannot afford to leave his crop
at the busy season of the year
for eve1 that sum, but it will
pay him actual expenses. The
busy town man cannot spare the
time to serve on the jury, al
least he does not think that he
can, and most always manages
to beg off. but if he does get
stuck on the jury at So per
day, he is not out much.

BURKITT REPUDIATED
BY HIS COMMITTEE


Nearly everybody in the state
has heard of Frank Burkitt. the
great populitic wind Jammer"
of Chickasaw county and will
read with amusement the follow
ing from the Jackson News:
"Tll fight you from hell to
breakfast on the floor of the
housel" declared Capt. Frank
Burgitt yesterday afternoon as
he left the session of the house
appropriations committee, after
being defeated in his effort to
trim the University of Mississip-
pi appropriation bill.
In word, the half-reformed
populist from Chickasaw was.re-
pudiated by the committee he
has attempted to dominate since
the beginning of the session. and
his hell-belching war on higher
education is at an end, so far as
the committee is concerned.
This is as it should be. Capt.
Burkitt has no more idea of the
needs of the University of Mis-
sissippi than he has of the car
nival principles of democracy,
and the fact that he did succeed
in getting together a few follow
ers in his campaign to extermi-
nate the institutions of learning
is well-nigh inexplicable.
To the casual observer it seems
that the erstwhile populist can
didate for vice-president is fight
ing the institutions of higher ed
ucation chiefly because he don't
know what education means. 1t
is the habit of some people to OPP
pose things of which they know
absolutely nothing.
Capt. Burkitt's fight on the
floor of the house from hell to
breakfast" will not amount to
much. When it is concluded he
will be convinced that the dis
tance from the place of eternal
punishment to the morning meal
is exceedingly short.

GOVERNMENT WILL
PAY TRANSPORTATION
National Guard Will Go to chickamaugd
For Annual Mdneuvers.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 8.-Ad-
iutant General Arthur w. Frige
has received letter from Assis-
tant Secretary of War Oliver
stating that the sum of $40, 160
has been set aside by the war
department to defray the ex-
pense of transporting the two
regiments of the Mississippi Ma
tional Guard to Chickamauga
Park for the annual maneuvers.
1t is the purpose of the Mis-
sissippi military authorities to
have the entire organization rem
devious at Chickamauga and
Assistant Secre tary Oliver states
that the allowance named is for
transportation only; that the
state will be required to pro-
vide sustenance.
Notice has also been received
by Gen. Fridge of a change in
the date of the maneuvers, the
time selected being from the
23rd of July to the 1st of Au-
gust The appropriation bill has
not yet been passed by congress,
but will doubtless be favorably
acted uphn prior to adjournment.
The same is true of the state
appropriation for the support of
the national guard.

a Foolish Superstition.

1t is said and believed that all
the blue-jays disappear every
Friday, and not one can be seen
until the next day, and this dis
appearance is accounted for by
the statement that the birds are
under a compact with Satan,
and that they devote each Friday
to delivering him a supply of
sand for heating purposes, sand
being one of the ingredients that
keeps his immeasurable cauldron
at the point of torture. But why
should the blue-jay be selected
as sand-bearer to Sat n, when
there are so many birds of
stronger and feeter wing?
There are many superstitions
that have a reasoning basis, but
this particular one has nothing
whatever to go on. The origin
of it lies in the fact that the
blue jay is a most particular
home-builder; he knows how to
build his house, and he takes a
great pride in it. He doesn' t
hang his nest to a limb, nor glue
it to tree. Instead, he selects
substantial fork or crotch of a
limb, lays down a few twigs, of
goodly size and strength, and on
these he superimposes strong
foundation of clay, with layers
of papers between, and when
his nest is finished. it is as sub
stantial in prog ortion as one of
our modern steel structures.
Thus fitted and finished, it is
admirably adapted to the rear
ing of strong and healthy
brood, and the blue-jay goes
about this business with his
earnest energy that character
ICES all his movements. He
raises his young and leads then
about from tree to tree and from
bush to bush until they have
tried and found their wings, ant
then, his responsibilities beins
! over, he proceeds with his caree
. tof gayety, d verI.dole practione
of rough fun and stage humor
