Someone made the statement once
that there Is 'honor among thieves:
to this might be added the strange
fact that there is Flaw among the law
breakers" At least there is evidence
of this at the county Jail in Missoula
several times each week.
There are very few people in Mis-
soula who would believe that for more
than 25 years there has been q court
in session with judge. clerk and bailiff,
other than the prescribed courts OF
the county.
Yet such a thing is true, and jus
lice has been nctcd out fcarlessly and
sentences pronounced with all the Sc
verify typical Of the district court.
The Kangaroo Court"
court of the county Jail, is one
Of the oldest jail institutions Of the
country. From the Atlantic to the
Pacific and from Canada to the gulf
In all county jails, the kangaroo court
has existed for years.
There Is no polished bookcase OF
sheepskin volumes from which the law
Of this court is taken. No high paid
lawyers argue cloquently before the
bar and there is no morbid, curious
public in attendance, but the few
simple rules are followed to a letter
and when one is broken justice is cold
and quick.

A Cantonment Tragedy.

The real tragedy in the life Of the
drafted soldier happens when the
mail anger arrives and there is no
letter for him. He. listens eagerly
while the names are droncd out by
the sergeant and clings to hope until
the last letter Is given out.
He evades the happy fellows who
arc reading their letters and hurries
to his tent, where he sits with head in
hand. striving manly to keep back the
tears. 1t is generally some two hours
later that the natural exuberancc of
youth arouses him from his mclan-
