ESCAPES GALLONS,
 MAY BE LEGALLY DEAD

Baton Rouge, La.-LOnnie Eat on, the man the sheriff forgot to hang, may be dead legally. Attorney General Coco frankly admitted today he did not know; but reports from Ouachila parish prison, where Lon nie has been taking, legally or il- legally, his regular three meals a day ever since his execution day, February 4. do not indicate that his appetite has suffered.
 Sheriif Grant wrote the governor that in the press of "civil and crim- inal matters" February 4, he forgot the mandate to put the negro, con- yictcd of the murder of white man to death.
 Attorney General Coco is raking the law books for precedents. It was said the once-in-jeopardy principle of law might prevent the negro's execution.

 The only applicants for chief Of police were Chief Mcintosh and for mer chief Gus Groot. The vote when taken stood five to one for Ne IHtosh.

This, it was hoped. would eliminate the necessity of borrowing much mony and paying interest on it. At the same time the council figured that it would make it easier for t!e taxpayers to pay in two installments.

Bill Providing
 Cattle Killed
Representative Ricllcrt Introduced q Bill Providing for Reimbursement of Cattle Killed by Government.

Juneau, April.-House bill r was introduced today by Represen- tative P. J. Rickert of the Fourth judicial division, enlarging the eX- isting livestock inspection law and providing for cooperative reim- bursement to the owners of the stock killed by federal or territorial order. The bill is retroactive to over the stock killed during the past two years. The value of the COWS killed is limited 10 $20O ill the Fourth and Second divisions and I5O in the First and Third divisions, and the owners under no considcra- tion are to get more than two thirds of these appraisals.
 Governor Riggs appeared before the senate committee yesterday in defense of the territorial shipping board. He opposed the repeal of the shipping board law, saying that it saved more than Q million dollars to the people of Alaska by prevent ing increases in transportation rates. He said that the retention of the law on the statute books would be a protection for the territory, even though the appropriation made at the last session died with the end of the fiscal year.
 In memorial introduced by Sen ator Frawley the government is urged to lay new cable to Alaska.
 With the session more than half over, no measure of general import ance has been passed by both houses yet. No revenue measures has been introduced and no general appropriation measure has been framed Proposed road act changes are up in the air. The cOmpensa- tion act amendments are hay.
 The ways and means committee is working on a revenue and apprO- priation bill and may spring some surprises. House sentiment seems to be adverse to the Britt fisheries bill on account of the fish trap sec ton. Many members apparently are in a frame Of mind to legislate the fish traps out of business.

 There is still a charge hanging over McNamara's head, that of transporting dynamite without a permit. It is doubtful, however, if this charge will be. pressed against him. in view of his having pleaded guilty and serving his time for the onensc.
 At the time of the trial after arrangements had been made for the trial and the jury had been drawn, and after thousands of dollars had been raised throughout the country for expenses of the trial. the de- fense startled the country by ap- bearing one morning and entering a plea of guilty, One of the Me Namara brothers was sentences 10 life and the other to l5 years.

 ON YUKON LINE

Whitehorse, April 25.-William Murdoch, operatOr-lineman for the government telegraphs, at Sixth Cabin, 125 miles north of Hazelton, was found dead in his office. Pre- sumably heart failure was the cause and that he had some premonition of death is evidenced by the fact that lying on his telegraph table, written in a shaky hand, was the following note:

The Real Spirit.

Has the real Christmas spirit been
laid upon its bier by a lot Of old
fogies who have lived too long to
sense the thrill of the holly and mis-
tletoe; whose spectacles and whiskers
have debarred them from entering the
kingdom Of pure delight where the
children wander; and whose dyspeptic
spirits have been warped with acid
bitterness until they can no longer
flow with the sweet JOY Of Christmas
cheer? No! The real happiness
and the cheer that 60 with red-rib-
boned wreaths and twinkling candles
peeping and winking from between the
green Of fairy Christmas trees; the
thrill Of myriad toys stacked in chaotic
heaps; the mystery Of tissue paper
bundles; the secrets that fly back and
forth under the grave cover Of seren-
ity; the smell Of spicy fruitcake and
the mellow aroma of holiday baking
are here. They are here as they are
always here when the holidays are
just before us.-Evansville Courier.

81 thank God am an American. We
have in this country the English:
French, Welsh, Irish: Italian, Greek
Scotch, German, Scandinavian and the
Indiana. They call this country the
melting pot of the world, so she is, but
if in the refining process the scum is
not removed our problem of assimi-
lating the foreigner will become an
enormous one and can never be com
pleted. This problem of assimilation
is worse in the congested districts. /
am much in favor Of immigration
thank God for some Of the honest
hard working people who have come
to our shores and have become real
American citizens. But America can
not be Europe's dumping ground for
these people who are dissatisfied and
who are continually talking against
our government No flag can be
greater than the peonle who live under
it. This country is for Americans and
by Americans. There are 1900 news
parc-s ---ritten in foreign languages
in this country and four million peo-
pie who can neither read nor write.

will take place a game of ball that
will be one of the liveliest games ever
pulled off on this diamond. It will be
between the Valley City club and the
Fargo Athletics and the price of the
tickets will be ST.. The boys have been
hearing a lot about these Athletics
and when in Fargo last week at which
time they trimmed up this bunch, they
were challenged to play for a side
purse Of $500 but they will not play
for that purse tonight but there will
be considerable rivalry in that game
just the same. After the game to-
night couple Of games are to be
played at Fargo and it may be that at
that place enough ginger may be in
jected into the game to call up the
$500. These games are in no way con-
nected with the Commercial Club as
the ball team is not in charge of that
organization. The game has been
developed by the boys and friends of
the club and if you are interested in
seeing a good game go up to the ball
park tonight and you get what you

The ball game last night between
Fargo and Valley City drew quite
large congregation Of fans. 1t was
one Of those games that soon take the
enthusiasm out Of the local fans from
the fact that several errors at third:
some at short and a lax way of pitch
ing at times that gave the visitors the
best end Of the deal. In the first in
ming the visitors clouted out three
runs that they should not have had.
After that the two teams settled down
to ball playing and the scoring was
kept down. The game ended z to 8 in
favor of Fargo. Boardman was on
the mound for the visitors and seemed
to have good control Of the ball and
at times some smoke on the pill, also.
The visitors were more lucky in their
hits than the locals. Several fine
clouts that looked like three base hits
fell in the NIT Of a waiting Fargoan.
Brusick pitched for Valley City and
outside Of couple of innings was do
ing good work. Those two innings.
however, resulted disastrously for Val
ley City. Two games are to be played
at Fargo, one today and the final game
tomorrow. The probabilities are that
today's game will be a warm number.
