st. Louis. Mo.-Alexander Hunter,
who still had sixteen months OF a
workhouse sentence to serve, is pur-
suing a plan of behavior which will
win for him probably an early parole.
When the city authorities decided
to turn Chesley island into a farm
where inebriates could be kept, It's
superintendent, Calvin J. White, de-
cided to send Hunter to the farm as
a trusty to supervise the work.
Hunter cheerfully accepted the task
and began to build fence. The posts
having been put down, he found him
self in need Of a wire stretcher.
Taking a boat, he rowed alone and
unmatched down the river to KimmS'
wick, but could not find what be
wanted there. He then took a train
came to ST. Louis, bought the wire
stretcher and returned.
How in the world did you ge'
here?" Superintendent White asked
when he stepped off the car and wen
to the workhouse. Game up on the
train" Hunter answered.
What do you want?" White asked
Hunter explained and was returne'

He went back to the island and nov

Hunter was sentenced to a tW
