The note was long, loud, clear, full

it disturbed Enthusiastically the silence of

BUT 1T COSTS BELLEVILLE, ILL.,,
MERCHANT $1.5O A DAY.
Competitor Happy in Ceii-Takes
Plenty of Tobacco Along and Is
Willing to See Other Man
Pay Costs.

Belleville, Ill.-The board and lodg-
inc of Harry Joseph, prisoner for
debt in the Belleville Jail, is being
paid for at the rate of ST. so a day by
Harry Rosenberg, who had put him
there.
They are rival clothing merchants
at Lebanon, Ill. Rosenberg sued Jo-
seph for $4,000, alleging that Joseph
slandered him and said things about
him which injured his credit as a mer
chant.
Before the case went to trial there
was an agreeme Mt by which Rosenberg
accepted judgment of $50 against
Joseph. But he didn't get the money.
Joseph refused to pay, alleging that
he did not have any property above
the value of $500, which was exempt
from judgment under. the law.
To make matters worse for Rosen-
berg the court decided that as Joseph
had no seizable assets the costs in the
case, amounting to $3.50, would have
to be paid by the plaintiff.
So, instead of being $50 ahead as a
result of the litigation, Rosenberg was
out money.
isn't there any way l can get even
with him?" he asked his lawyer.
Yes, you might use capias ad
satisiaciendum on him
rs that a single barreled or a
| double barreled weapon?"
! Single, think I'll look it. up" said
| the lawyer.
Rosenberg told him to go ahead. Too
| late he learned that the weapon was
| double barreled.
Under the authority of an old statute
the capias was served on Joseph. This
provides that in case where debt
is contracted through a violation of
the law the person to whom the money
lis owed can have the debtor impris-
oned for a term not to exceed one
year. But he must pay the debtors
board to the state.
| Joseph was taken to the Belleville
Jail and locked up. lie kissed his wife
and baby 10y good-by and took with
him plentiful supply of smoking to-
| bacco, books and magazines.
AS he was being taken into the Jail
he said:
"All right. I'll stay here as long
as Rosenberg pays the bill Business
lis bad anyway. and l might as we'll
loaf in JAIL
Joseph's Imprisonment has pre-.
scented strange legal tangle to mem
bers of the Belleville bar. 1t is the
first time the statute has ever been
enforced in st. Claire county and law
yers are talking of nothing else.
Joseph himself is not asking for
legal advice. 'I'll stick and make Ro-

What could I do?" said Rosenberg
to a reporter. HE wouldn't pay me.
| Yes, I've got to spend money for

HE talks bad about me. sue him.
| We compromise. He owes me $50
and he hangs the costs on me, too.
Wouldn't that make anybody mad.

the only way can keep him in JAIL

Joseph smiling. Jail isn't such a nice
place, but can stand it. l wasn't in

WANTS BIG RANCHES.

Paul C. Bates of Portland spent
the past week in this section
looking over quite a number of
decided farms, getting prices,
looking up water rights and
other information. He kept
Sheriff Richardson and his buz
wagon quite busy during his stay
and was accompanied a part of
the time by w. T. Lester. He
looked over several ranches on
Silver Creek later going out as
far as the j. F. Mahon ranch in
Anderson Valley then Cow
Creek and vicinity, leaving
Thursday and going out as far
as Benefits in Silvies Valley in
Mr.. Richardson's auto.
We understand Mr.. Bates rep
resents capitalists who desire
some large ranches in this section
and his report will be necessary
before final deals will be carried
through. We did not learn whe-
ther he actually secured options
or not, but he was quite favor
ably impressed and some trans
fers are likely in the near future.

INDEPENDENCE DEVELOPMENT CO.

Bill Percival is the hot air ped
dler for the above concern which
was organized here the first OF
the week and is composed entire
ly of Independence men, who
have just taken up about 5000
acres of Harvey county land. A
large number of people from the
Willamette valley town were
among our land seekers during
the past two weeks and several
secured deserts adjoining and
others will likely come out when
these boys get back home. Mr..
Percival is of the jolly bunch
and he is more than joshing
when he suggested the Develop
ment Co. for they can certainly
work to advantage by pooling
their interests.
Among those to file were James
Hanna, Pearl Alexander, VIM.
Percival. two Sperling Bros,
Claude Hubbard, Lymon Damon,
Dave Dove. E. Irvine, Mr.. Mac
intosh and Mr.. Rice. Several
of these men are prominent in
business in their home town and
are very favorably impressed
with the possibilities of this sec
ton. They hope to interest
others upon their return.
W. E. Craven, D. A. Hodge,
/. N. Jones. C. l.. Fitchard and
J. ]. McKinnon were among the
Independence people who came
in but they got cold feet" and
without going out into the coun-
try to see it after making the
trip in, returned home on the
following stage. It will be in
teresting to hear Percival and
his bunch hand it to those fellows
when they get home.

This Office is in receipt of a
letter from Mrs. A. George which
says that her fruit crop will be
quite good this season. She has
at least 100 gallons of berries
drying on the bushes as she had
not had time to pick them. Her
Siberian crabs she describes as
resembling weeping willows, the
branches being so heavily laden
with fruit that they bend down
and completely cover the trunk
of the trees. She has 8 large
trees Of this variety. She has
16 other crab trees well loaded.
The prunes are very good. The
Ben Davis apple will be an aver
age crop, but the best is the
Yellow Transparent. She writes:
Il have five trees that would
make you hungry to look at just
now, as the big limbs are bend
ing down on all sides. They will
be ready to eat in week and |
shall send you some if | get a
chance. We are going to see
that she has the chance.

where Mr.. Hill received instrucr
tions from his managers to go
out by train to Nevada and go in
training on the desert.
The walking race is from Reno
to Los Angeles via San Francisco,
a distance of 1855 miles for a
purse of $3.50, the winner to
take the entire purse which is
put up by organizations in Wash
ington and California.
Mr.. Nichols informs the Times
Herald that he was in fine trim
and could average 40 miles a day.
He expects to win the race as he
has had five such contests and
has never lost. 1t is $50 miles
to Reno and he expected to make
it in ten days.
While here several local people
were telling of their walking
feats and Mr.. Nichols was under
the impression they wanted q
match, so he has asked the Times
Herald to announce that he is
open for an engagement next
season and ready to challenge
any one in the state for whatever
distance they desire and for a
proper purse.

The present dry season has
been quite unfortunate for those
who have put in crops and failed,
yet the grain in many places has
made better crops than at first
thought and has demonstrated
beyond a doubt that it can be
grown successfully under very
dry conditions. The experience
of the present season will be a
great help in future and we may
gain by it in the long run.
