The Winchester Sun Sentinel for
the current week contains the fol-
lowing item that ought to interest
the taxpayers of Fayette county:

the election of treasurer. The bids
of the banks were opened and the
Winchester Bank was the best and it

KNOWLES DECIDES
TO ENDURE JAIL
TERM FOR CRIME
Will BE Locked Up ION Prin.
ciple," but Friends viii
Pay His Fine.

Sioux Falls, S. D., June 19.-Much
speculation has been INDUCED in as to
whether or not Freeman Knowles, for
mer congressman from South Dakota,
and for some time past editor Of the
Deadwood Lantern, a weekly publica-
tion, would pay his fine OF $500 in ac-
~cordance with a recent decision of the
United States circuit court of appeals,
or would decline to pay the fine and go
to jail. That lie intends going to Jail
rather than pay the fine is indicated by
a statement made by him in the current
issue of his newspaper.
In the course Of the statement, which
is in reference to the case, h follow
ing sentence appears: II have sent
for a copy of the opinion which was
written by Judge Amidon, and until
the opinion arrives it is Impossible to
state upon what grounds the Judgment
was affirmed. AS soon as the remittiur
from the court Of appeals is received by
the clerk of the district court at Sioux
Falls I expect to be committed to the
Pennington county JAIL" This makes
1T clear that Editor Knowles will not
pay his fine. The fine, however, doubt
less will be paid by friends Of the Dead
wood editor, regardless of any objec-
he may have.
Friends viii Help Him.
1llc ICG IItSS ICdBuGt WHICH, 10 COAl-
posed Of Black Hills friends OF the
former congressman and present edi-
tor, has taken up the matter Of rails
ing the amount of the fine, and 1t Is
believed will insist upon paying 1t to
the federal court and thus do away
with the necessity of IT. Knowles go
ing to jail.
In his statement Mr.. Knowles calls
attention to the fact that he served
with the union army for a period of
three years during the war OF the re-
bellion. He also makes q violent at
tack upon federal courts in general and
the federal court Of South Dakota in
particular, and alleges that be was con-
victed by what he terms a packed"
jury.
AT a term of federal court held at
Knowles was tried on an i'm
dictment charging him with having cir.
