LIVE S STOCK SANITARY.
BOARD in A Meeting

Dr.. Crave Has Returned Recently
From Big Meeting Hold at Helena,

to be in good condition and the work
of the board Is making a better i'm
preston than in any time in the past.
One of the big works of the board at
the present is in getting ready to
cooperate with other states In set
of regulations to do with the inter-
state shipment of live stock. At the
present time with the different
states having different rules regard
ing the shipment and entry Of live
stock and it many times works hard
ships to shippers and also to the
railroads.
1t Is the intention Of eight Of the
northwestern states which were rep
resented at the Helena meeting, to
form a set of regulations which shall
apply to all states and thus simplify
the matter of making Interstate
shipments.
Dr. Crave stated that one of the
other matters to be taken up by the
board will be in regard to the live
stock on the Indian reservations. at
the present time the reservations are
under the eye of the federal govern
mint and the state has nothing to do
with it. They cannot take any steps
in the matter at present and that
fact often works harm to the state.
The quarantine on scabies in cat
tie has been raised and the situation
in regard to CHAMBERS has been clear
ed up In the state. Among the men,
bers of the board from outside of the
city who were present at the meet
ing were Drs. J. w. Robinson of
Garrison, and W. F.. Crave Of Devils
Lake.
The next meeting will he held in.
this city some tine during january
and at that time 1t is expected the
draft fthe new Interstate regulations
will be on hand and will be accepted
by the board and will immediately
be put in eff ct.

ATTORNEY TT ] GENERAL J.
OBJECTED TO JURY
M'GlL-lS CASE IS DISMISSED
COURT WOULD NOT ORDER
A NEW JURY.
Miller Did Not Want to Try Me0''l's
Before Jury Which Had Been Sum-
noned BY the Sheriff.

The McGillis case was dismissed
by Jud ge Crawford in district court
yesterday morning, after Attorney
General Miller had refused to go to
trial with the present jury panel:
The demurrer in, the case, which
was made to the information on the
previous day by Judge Newton, at
torney for McGillis. was overruled by
the court, who held that the law was
good, Notwithstanding the fact that
bv it's terms it refers to chapter OF
the penal code not In existence.
The courts ruling was in effect
that it was fairly to be inferred that
the law referred to, chapter 60 Of
the code, which is the prohibition
law.
Upon this ruling the ease was order
ed for TRIAL. Attorney General fM1ller
objected to the present panel Of jur-
ors and asked for a new panel before
proceeding with the trial of the case.

TO THE TRIBUNE II
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE PLEAS
Ed WITH WORK OF SPECIAL
REPRESENTATIVE.
Kenmare Journal Also Comes In for
Favorable Mention - Press Of the
State Doing Good Work.

A recent letter from the agricul'
tural college says:
The farmers institutes, under the
direction of Superintendent Hover
stad, are moving along with better
results than ever this fall. There Is
marked interest wherever they are,
and the papers Of the state are de-
voting an unusually large amount OF
space to reporting their work. The
Bismarck Tribune sent one OF its edi.
torial staff with the institute men
over the western part Of the state,
and reported fully the sessions held
in that section.
The attitude Of the state press to-
ward the questions of good farming
IS having a marked influence. The
attitude of comparative Indifference
toward the farmer has happily pass
ed away, and the press of the state
is devoting a large part of its space
to questions directly interesting the
local farmers.
The writer recently received a copy
of the Kenmare Journal, which H.
Illustrates the attitude toward farm.
ing as a business for editorial consid-
Grafton. The Journal has grouped tbs
farm items together and is getting a
series of strong articles written for
a farm department, adapted to the
needs of it's subscribers. Several
other papers in the state are doing
the same, while still others are in
PRODUCING question and answer de-
partments. The total result of this
work is to bring about a strong in
terest in better farming wherever
the press is working to that end.
The example set by the demonstra'
ton farms, the work Of the institutes,
the attitude of the state press, all is
making for a better condition Of
things agricultural.

RESIDENTS INSIST ON MORE PRESSURE Bowie Fire Calls Attention to DepIorable Condition STAND PIPE IS NEEDED Chief Bennett Says City Will Some Day Have a $1oo,ooo Fire In
 the Highland Avenue
 Section.
STAND PIPE IS NEEDED

. The destruction of the residence of sid- hey J. Bowie near Highland avenue ves. terday morning has caused a new out- preak In the demand for more water pressure for the finest residence section or Birmingham, located on the highlands and hillsides of Red Mountain.
 The citizens of that district have ne- etioned theT City Council a number os times for standpipe on the ion of +ha mountain to give them sufficient pressure inc water company and the city are at outs on the proposition, the citv be,,o unwilling to grant some of the reo,,i,a ments Of the water comnanv bafoua - ing ahead with the work
 Chief Bennett has cal1od .ho
 'oh or the council to the need of th;a section more than once. After tba e,o yesterday he said:
 ms IS put a small example of what VIII happen over there before ,o,,r ss
 i.ins IS not done. I expect to sea whole block go up in flames .1r,oa. any oay. The house destroyed vestaraa.. was located lower than most of +ho a.. residences, but the pressure wos =.

 with sufficient water pressure va oouid nave held the loss to less +h., eoV' put as 1t is it may run over seooo iiau there been any wind at all the u,ho,o Oiock would have gone up in flames
 inere are hundreds of houses in tbis vicinity totally without pressure for aas pAo'eo'ioh. The good luck of tba na.4 year cannot continue always. We ui,, wake up some time with a. fire 1oss .,.N- to the hundred thousand dollar mau,- p1' ~, maps then decide to do something. In. .n d standp1pe is erected on the monn.

 d. D. Collins, who lives near +ha ,, or MT. Bowie, said: 'erhe fire denort,,s... answered with reasonable promptness a,,s ""S III Iront of the house before +ho iiaiiies had gained much headwav uha, the water was turned on tbera ua. pressure at all.

 The official notification of the fact that receivers have been appointed has been received in Birmingham. So far no changes based on the fact that receivers have been appointed have been made known. It is thought in railroad circles that the Atlanta, Birmingham and At lantic will continue to operate as hereto fore and that there will be no outward significance of the appointment of re- ceivers.
 The visit of the receivers to Birmingham is anticipated with interest.

their arrival there, however, and there was no chance to strike a trail.
 The convicts at this place are employed in the making of hollowware. This prison was also the scene of desperate break for liberty on the part of number of the prisoners last summer. One morning group of them who were working in the yard made sudden dash for the fence, where they knocked plank off the fence and scrambled through. The desperateness of their act was shown when, despite the firing of the guards at them, they scram- bled around the opening until most of them had gotten through. Those who did not get away were wounded by the guards bullets, while some of those who did make their escape carried wounds. The sherff's department succeeded in catching all of these escapes within a few days

W. O'Neill is considered the leader in the effort to land the berth for Colonel Tomlinson.
 The vacancy on the board which has led to the above interesting climax was caused by the resignation of Mayor George B. Ward some time ago. MT. Ward, as is known, was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of James J. Smith. When Mr Ward re- signed, w. P G. Harding, president of the First National bank, was elected to fill the vacancy. However, on account of the business relationship between the city and the First National bank, MT Harding did not qualify, and at the last meeting a vacancy was declared.
 The meeting of the council Wednesday night promises to be short. There is very little business, comparatively, before the board. As the meeting will be the first of the new year, there will be a consid- erable amount of routine business.

LIFETIME CONNECTS
 MAKE THEIR ESCAPE

Three lifetime and one 10-year sentence convicts sawed their way to liberty early last night at the North Birmingham pris- on of the Alabama Manufacturing com pany. All are negroes.
 The escape was made about o'clock and the discovery of 1t was made less than half an hour afterward. The prison is a one-story structure, and the prisoners are kept in a large room with barred win dows. These bars are small and the ne- groes had sawed one of the bars in two. After climbing out the window they went to a corner of the yard and climbed over the fence, which is a board affair, with several strands of wire running around the top.
 Immediately upon the discovery of the escape the sheriff's office was communi- cated with and bloodhounds sent to the prison. A heavy rain came up before

 Until the afternoon following the last council meeting it was freely predicted that Captain O'Brien would be elected without opposition. On that afternoon, however, 1t was made known that Colo nel Tomlinson's friends were doing con- siderable work in his interest
 An investigation last night brought out the fact that the strength of the two is practically on par, with the balance slightly favoring Captain O'Brien.
 Neither of the candidates has made a statement for publication, although Cap tain 0'Brien some time ago expressed himself as willing to accept the position were it rendered him. Alderman John

RAILROAD IS EXPECTED
 TO BE ON ITS FEET SOON

Hugh M. Atkinson, president of the At lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad, and one of the receivers of that road, has issued a statement to the effect that the road is in the finest physical condition, that it will continue to operate as here tofore, and that It's course of going into the hands of receivers was made neces- sary simply on account of the fact that the earnings have not been as great as was the original hope.
 President Atkinson issued that state ment from Boston, where he was Satur- day. He was expected to return to At lanta Saturday night, and it is thought that he and Vice President Arkwrightp who is also one of the receivers of the road, will make tour of inspection and will be in Birmingham within the next few days.
 In railroad circles 1t is freely predicted that the Atlanta, Birmingham and At- lantic will be again on its feet within a years time. It is stated that one of the reasons why the road was unable to meet
