Pixies Peak, as many Sentinel read
ers no doubt know, was named for
Zebulon M. Pike who was born in
1779 and died in 1913. While ex-
ploring what was then called Louis
ana territory in 1905 and 1907, he
discovered Pixies Peak. While do
ing this exploration work for the
Government, he was seized by the
Spanish government but was promptly
released.
The first time we find Colorado
listed in the u. S. census was in 1860
at which time its population was
given at 34,277. The State has en-
joyed that marvellous development
characteristic of so many states of
the west, and exceeded by none save
perhaps California.
We haven't definitely fixed the date
when we will leave here but expect

"SWAP WHILE GOOD
TRADE is IN SIGHT"
Sentiment Is That MIR. Sisson Has
Been There Long Enough.

Twelve years ago when Congress
man T. U. Sisson was just seeking
election to the office he now holds,
the 9Th plank in his published plat
form read as follows:
II am opposed to long tenures in
office and believe in the Jeffersonian
and Democratic principles of rotation
in office"
He seems to have had a change of
heart on rotation, disregarding the
doctrine he formerly advocated in his
platform. However, the people have
not forgotten and it looks very much
like he is going to be rotated" this
time. The following paragraph from
the Ethel Gazette reflects the senti-.
ment in the present race for Con-
gress:
"Mr. Sisson says it won't do to
swap horses in the middle of the
stream. Now, if you remember well.
he has been saying this for a number
of years. One of two things is true
in this case: it is an awful wide
creek or he is a mighty slow old
horse. Now boys, we have concluded
that he will never pull out of that
ford and have decided to let him go
while we have a good trade in sight.
What do you say? Yes, he has been
with US q long time-feels almost like
with one of the family,-but
you must put aside all sentiment and
think only of the business end Of the
matter" Adv.

Crawley Made Fine Impression.

The Sentinel always takes pleasure
in saying the cheering, comforting
word. Flowers have their place in
matters pertaining to the dead, but
it is certain that not only the dear
ones and friends are helped by them
when they are given to the living
but the living are made better, more
useful and see more of the richness
and luxury of life. In keeping with
this idea, it is with pleasure that men
ton IS made of the record of Hon.
David E. Crawley made in Grenada
County at this his initial term of the
Circuit Court since he was elected
last fall.
Mr.. Crawley succeeded good man
and an able prosecuting attorney and
it was indeed very high compliment
to him to have been able to have dis
tanced Mr.. Allen as he did in the
primaries last year. But no mistake
was made. Mr.. Crawley is able, quick,
energetic, alert and there are few
men who are more vigorous as a
prosecutor than he. His speech in
the closing argument in the case of
the State VS.. Emmett Thomas, being
really his first in the County since
his election, was watched with no
small degree of interest. He met
every standard and measured up to
the highest expectations of his
friends. The observation is made
without in any way intending to dis
parage the very splendid speeches
of the other attorneys on both sides
of this case or as in anyway referr-
ing to the merits of the prosecution.
The States cause, the majesty of the
law and the dignity of the quiet and
orderly citizenship have an able de-
fender in Mr. Crawled, and he may
be expected to meet the best stand
ards set by the best district attorn-
eys of this district.
And just another feature that a
keen observer discovers in Mr.. Craw-
ley, is, that he is sympathetic, kind
hearted and considerate. It is a
mighty good trait in any man that the
milk of human kindness is a compon-
ent part Of his character and life.
Mr. Crawley is a very deserving
young man and may be relied upon
for the highest and best examples Of
true manhood. He made a good i'm
preston in Grenada County.

The Sentinel ran an advertisement
last week for good looking and COM
paratively young widow in quest of
a husband. No name was given in
the ad and no name was to be di-
vulged until gentlemen inquirers
showed enough interest in possibili-
ties to pay for the ad. Ten men
have already paid for the ad. Six
of these paid not to publish their
names while the other four did not
seem to care. Those who did not
really protest against the public know
ing Of their interest in the aforesaid
widow, were: Jim Keeton, Dave
Dogan, Jim Cuff and Keene Huffing-
ton. In addition to these ten men,
many and numerous inquiries have
been made. More anon.

| to understand them, to take his shot
gun, but he did not have q right to
carry a pistol or any other weapon
concealed, and in view Of the fact
that he was armed both with a shot
gun and with pistol, his acts might
have been construed, regardless of
whatever purpose he had in mind, as
seeking trouble. Fortunately the law
outlaws a concealed pistol but un-
fortunately public sentiment has not
been educated to the point that it
puts the brand of the outlaw on any
man that carries one. That day is
coming and it is not far away, let it
be hoped.
The case was hard fought. The
attorneys for the defense overlooked
granted. Likewise did the attorneys
for the State exercise every energy
and all their talents to get the case
before the jury in the hideous light
in which they saw it. When the test
imony was all in, the case was ably
argued on both sides and the testi-
mony thoroughly reviewed. The
whole of Monday was consumed with
the instructions and the arguments
and about 6 o'clock Monday afternoon
it was given into the hands of the
jury.
The crowds in the court room grew
from day to day. During the last
two days of the trial, the court house
was packed.
The following composed the jury
that tried Emmett Thomas:
j. F. Lawrence, CASTOR Bell, J. E.
Bowen, j. d. Blakeley, J. C. Tharpe,
F.. S. Johnson, L. w. Heath, w. T.
Davis, H. T. Brunson, c. M. Ander-
son, G. C. Childs, H. c. Childs.
Just before final adjournment of
the court on Wednesday morning.
Judge Lamb had the jury in the
Thomas case brought out and they
announced that no agreement had
been reached and that they believed
none could be had; accordingly the
jury was discharged. It was learned
that the jury finally stood to 9 in
favor of acquittal. Those favoring
conviction were: T. L. Lawrence,
Clyde Childs and L. w. Heath. It
was stated that at first the jury stood
z to for conviction.
This necessitates another trial at
the next term of the court. The case
VS.. Johnathan Thomas was likewise
continued until the next term of The
court.

Two years ago, July %, 1918, Wal
ton Mullin, then about fifteen years
of age, gave his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
R. w. Mullin living three miles north
west of Grenada, to understand that
he desired to leave home and "to pad
die his own canoe" at least for
while. The family of course did not
take the lad seriously, but he made
good his inclinations by leaving home
somewhat unceremoniously. His des-
tination or his intentions were un-
known to his parents or to any one
else besides himself. 1t was at first
thought he had joined the army or
the navy but when the days had pass
ed into weeks and the weeks into
months, inquiry was made of the war
and navy departments as to whether
or not youth of that name had en-
listed in the service, and the advices
came that no one had When
the armistice was signed and the boys
began to return home and still no
word came from Walton, it was
thought that perhaps he had enlisted
under another name and that he was

seemed to take on new hope.
Some weeks ago a card containing
about one line was mailed on a train
between New Orleans and Atlanta
and received by the grandfather, Mr..
Josh Hill. The receipt of this card
led to advertisements in the Memphis,

the ads brought about the youths

AMUNDSEN FAILED TO
 REACH SIBERIAN ISLANDS

The failure of Capt. Raold Amund- in Latitude 75 degrees North, l5n West during the fall of 1918 is ascrihel hy q Danish newspaper dispatch as the probable cause of his decision to pme to Nome before making his haz.rdous effort 10 drift to the North Pol, ir the
 Arctic ice pack.
 Amundsen in his ship Maud. sailed from Norway in the early fall of 1918 and proceeded to Dixon Island, off the mouth of the Yense River. Here he took on q supply of oil and other es- sentiils and sailed for the New Siher- ian Islands. near which the famous Jeanette was sunk June F 1881. From this point Amundscn planned to push into the ice pack as far as possible and settle down for the expected "trip across the polar cap.
 Departure from Dixor Island Was taken in September 1918. The waters of the Arctic were already freezing at that time, the last reports from the AIaud stating that slush ice was foIm- ing rapidly. How far the vessel pro- ceeded is not definitely known. The Danish dispatch referred to says the yesse! was at Cape Cheliuskin. or Northwest Cape, as it is more com monlv known. in October 1918. As navigation was practically impossible at that time of the year, it is probable that the Maud wintered somewhere. in that locality.
 Northeast Cape is situated in l.ati- tude IT. 90 North, Longitude 105 East and is about half way between Dixon Island and the New Siberian Islands. Whether or not the explorer reached the New Siberian Islands in the sum- mer of 1919 is not known. The is- lands awe situated about 200 miles north of the Siberian coast and to reach his recent location at Chau'l Bay. 150 miles east of the Kolyma
 River. Amundsen undoubtedly passed
 close to the Siberian group. Chaun Bay is situated about 600 miles to the westward of East Cape and a short l distance southwest of Wrangell Island.
