ing the dog have never been able to
discover satisfactory explanation of
how that species OF canine known az
the bulldog got Its name," said H. B.
Halves Of st. Louis, an authority on
the dog, according to the Washington
Post. But while in Ireland some
weeks ago found what to me was q
reasonable theory Of the origin Of the
term. was In the rural districts in.
specting herd Of Dexter cattle. and
was invited by the owner 1, look over
a fine Dexter bull. We started into
the field, when ! took the precaution
to ask whether the bull was vicious.
He told me that the animal was, but
that need have no fear, because his
dog would accompany US.
You will observe said the man,
that the dog will watch the bull and
the bull will watch the dog
1T turned out Just as my friend said.
Then he told me that on several occa.
sions this particular bull had attempt.
ed to start trouble, whereupon the
bulldog would grab the animal by the
nose, clinging to him until the bull
was ready to quit. asked II all the
owners Of herds had bulldogs, and wan
told they had. Then learned that
800 or 400 years ago it was customary
for the people OF Ireland to be enter
tanned by Sights between dogs and
bulls. Just as the matadors OF Spain
have fought bulls.
Then 1t dawned on me that the bull
dog must have derived his name from
the fact that this particular breed In
the beginning displayed anantagonism
for bulls. It is easy to explain the
origin of the shepherd dog. the collie,
the setter, the pointer. and other
breeds. but until my recent visit ia
Ireland had never been able to run
down the beginning OF the bulldog"

Mrs. Jennie Hawkes. Not to
Hang.


The daily newspapers of the
nation have been giving consider
able prominence in the case of
Mrs. Jennie Hawkes., at Mcleod,
Alta, who was sentenced to
death on the charge of murder.
1t will be of considerable inter
est to the people of this county,
especially the old-timers, to know
that Mrs. Jennie Hawkes. is the
woman who lived in the old Will
Transport colony for several
years in the early days. She
came to Emmons county with
her husband, Wash" Hawkes.,
from Virginia some thirty years
ago, and for a number of years
drove the Williamsport-L ivona
stage. The history of the family
in those days agreed directly
with the Canadian reports. Her
husband brought a woman to
live on their claim and both are
said to have heaped derision and
abuse on the head of the wife.
In desperation, she killed "the
other woman" While the fam
lily lived in Williamsport Mrs.
Hawkes. bore the reputation of a
Woodworking woman who had a
host of trouble with her husband.
She and Wash Hawkes. were
both well known to the Record
family and often cared for the
writer of this article in his ten
der years. There were two
brothers, the other being Steve
or S. A. Hawkes.. It was this
latter gentleman that one time
stabbed the writer's father and
he carries a scar on his cheek to
this day from the cash. Follow
ing is the Associated Press dis
patch telling Of the woman's re-
prieve:
Ottawa, Ont, Dec. Is. Mrs.
Jennie Hawkes., who was CON
demned to die on the scaffold on
Dec. %, at Mcleod, Alta, for
killing her husbands paramour,
was granted a reprieye and the
sentence has been. COMMITTED to
ten years imprisonment by the
Canadian governor general.
Mrs. Jennie Hawkes. was for
merly a resident of Hensler,
Oliver county, and the wife Of
Wash" Hawkes.. Her husband
was formerly a United States
mail carrier between Mandan
and Oliver county points.
She is the woman whom thou
sands Of Canadian women signed
petitions for and which resulted
in the cancelling Of the death sen
tence.
