MEXICAN QUAIL ARE BARRED

Owing to the prevalence of
quail disease among birds import
ed from Mexico at the ports of
New York, and Eagle Pass.
Texas, during the past month,
the department of agriculture
has suspended issue of further
permits for entry of these birds
this season. Quail in shipments
actually en- route to the United
States on January 20 will be ad-
mitted to quarantine, but no fur
ther entries will be authorized.
Most of the States now have
such stringent game laws that it
practically impossible to pur-
chase quail even for propagating
purposes in the United States
and dealers have sought quail
elsewhere, especially In north
western Mexico where quail oc-
cur in abundance. but Mexican
quail on arrival at destination
are frequently found infected
with quail disease. So fatal is
this disease that when it once
appears most of the birds which
are exposed to it die within a
few DAYS. In one shipment of
1876 quail which recently reached
New York only three birds sur
.viyed the voyage, and in another
of about l60 birds, more than
two-thirds of the number died
shortly after arrival. More than
one-third of all the Mexican quail
imported last year died within a
few months.

Jailbirds Could Have Secured
Release Through Writ
of Habeas Corpus
WORKHOUSE COMMISSIONERS
WILL CONTINUE ROAD WORK
Walter F. Brockwell Chosen
Guard For Another Year
By Acclamation

If a contract leasing Henry
county's workhouse prisoners to
some other county had been
made, as the county court au-
thorized at it's last session, every
one Of these jailbirds could have
obtained a writ of habeas corpus
and secured his release. This
was the opinion given by one of
the ablest lawyers in Paris, it is
understood, and the workhonse
commissioners decided to keep
the prisoners at work on the
county roads, even if this plan is
a losing proposition to the
county. Y
Il seems that when a person
is sentenced to the workhouse
in this county he is sentenced to
the workhouse of Henry county
and no other, and the Supreme
Court has held that the sentence
does not mean any workhouse
in any county the authorities
may choose, but that the prison
|ers must be kept in the county
in which they are convicted.
1t was put up to the Henry
county court that the county
was losing money by keeping
the prisoners. feeding, and in
many instances clothing them,
and so the court passed a resolu-
ton giving the county judge the
authority to lease them to some
other county. There was very
little opposition to the resolution,
but now the whole plan fails be-
cause if an attempt should be
made to carry it out the jailbirds
would be free in a few days.
| When they found that it was
impossible to lease the prisoners
to some other county, the work
house commissioners immediate
ly reelected Constable Walter F.
BrockwelI as workhouse guard.
Mr.. Brockwell's. election was by
acclamation, we are informed.
The workhouse commissioners
are H. B. Swinney, w. E. We'll
don, r. H. Compton and w. D.
Morris. With possibly one eN-
ception, they favored the lease
of the prisoners provided the
plan had been legal, it is said.

There are a large number of
