KANGAROO COURT
 FUND GOES TO CHARITY
(From Saturdays Dsiiyl

The Kangaroo Court, instituted by
 the men who were released from the
 county jail last evening, after serving
 ten-day sentences on charges of sell ing liquor in dry territory, is not
 doomed to oblivion, for memories of it will still live in good deeds when oc-
 casion arises for charitable acts in the future
 The game of being on the inside, looking out, grows deadly monoton- ous, particularly when the "inside" is the interior of bastilc Other recre- ations. in the Hotel De Young, such as cards, books and even a game of draw, with the imagination placing high valuation on the chips, soon grow stale, flat and unprohtable. So wearying of other indoor sports, the men devised the kangaroo court as a form of mental diversion. And it was successful to a marked degree. Larry Duff was elected judge, Art Cook, sheriff, and Bob Griffith, prosecuting attorney The rest of them were con stituted bailiffs.
 During the period of their incarccr- ation, friends by the score visited the men, and none escaped without being haled before the bar of justice on. a charge of breaking into jail'' without right. warrant or commitment. Those not pleading guilty when arraigned were sentenced to receive 20 full grown blows on part of their anat- omy where it would hurt the most. Those admitting their culpability. were fined anywhere from $l to s. It is needless to state that the victims preferred going into their pockets rather than court acquaintance with barrel slave. The sessions of the court were held every day, in fact as many times a day as defendant could be procured.
 Shortly before sentence of the men expired yesterday a Journal Miner was called before the kangaroo court and given the sum of S85, representing fines imposed, with Inc instructions that it be dispensed for charity. The trust was accepted aud the money placed on deposit in local bank. to be drawn out in behalf of worthy cases When financial help $ needed for deserving but unfortun- ltc people the Journal-Miner will be pleased to draw check on the kan yaroo court fund.

WILD SCRAMBLE ON FOR FAT OFFICE.

The department as 1t had been arranged in the original bill as sured the selection of Chairman Win sor of the late land commission. The senate amendment left it any body's fight for of all the five mem bcrs, what three would do, could on ly be wildly guessed at. It was known that Governor Hunt would support Mir. Winsor and it was more than suspected that Auditor Callag- han would not.
 After the senate amendment was made and when it was known that that amendment would prevail if the land bill should become law. the candidacy of W. A. Mouer. chairman of the board Of supervisors of this county was announced. Yesterday an active campaign was begun in favor of George Nicholson of Yuma. How the members of the department will line up with respect to the candi' dates no member of the legislature and no democratic politician prctcnds to know, but it is regarded as certain that nouc of them will have d major ity on the first ballot.

 Her affiiction assumed the custom ary horrors in agonies incidental to this dreaded infection, and although every medical effort was made to save her, the inevitable occurred.
 Miss Magrudet had recently visited a geological garden in New Orleans, and took along her little pet. It had a fight with some animal she did not remember, when it was bitten on the foot. Twelve days later, the dog was taken sick, and in fondling it Miss Magruder was bitten on the arm, the wound not occasioning her any trou- ble whatever About ten days after ward, she became i'll, and lapsed into a state that indicated symptoms of rabies. Two days later, she passed into a convulsive condition, and the end followed shortly afterward.
