HOLIDAY DRUNKS PUT ON OVERFLOW MEET,
 SENTENCED, BEAT IT.
Two Dozen Brought Up; Chamber of Commerce Setting for An Odd
 Session of Justice Court
(From Thursdays Daily)

For two reasons, Justice of the Peace McLane yesterday was obliged to hold an overflow meeting in the chamber of commerce. l. His court room is too small to accommodate "A defendants, and, 2, Justice Clyde B. Jones was using his court room.
 Early yesterday afternoon the drag net of the law opened and loosed two dozen persons in the justice court for trial on charges of being intoxicated and otherwise disorder1y during Frontier days.
 Are you guilty or not guilty?" the judge inquired in each case
 Guilty" replied 20 of them in order.
 Beat it." the court declared with solemnity and great effect.
 Not guilty" said four.
 Bonds fixed in the sum of $10O," the judge replied sweetly.
 Three of the mot guilty" parties then advised the court that they had indulged in further reflection and desired to change their pleas to gull ty. It is just barely possible that the sentences of the court heretofore inn posed to "beat it" had some place in the cogitations preceding the changed pleas.
 One person desired to continue his not guilty plea and was permitted to do so.

PRISONERS VERSES
 TRIBUTE TO BOWERS
Verses Written by Inmate of County Jail Express Regard of Pris-
 oners for Deceased
From Thursdays Daily)

Tributes of respect and admiration to the memory of Ed F. Bowers, undersheriff of Yavapai county, shot and killed on July 1 by a drunken man, have come from the entire state, including a message of con- dolence to the deceased officers wife and family from Governor and Mrs, Thomas E. Campbell. But more touching than any of these, perhaps, is that which yesterday came from the Yavapai county jail.
 A group of prisoners yesterday gave to the tailor a poem written ill a scrawling hand on scrap of paper, and entitled "In Memorie of Ed Bow CTS" The poem was written by one of their number, Buttons" Tarrett. Through the brief lines and oc- casional misspelled words of the verse can be discerned a real tribute of admiration for Ed Bowers, the man and the officer, and of com miseration for his family. The pris- oners, like all others who knew the of this county, conceived a high respect and a genuine liking for him, by whom many Of them had been arrested. Their tribute follows:
 In Memory of Ed Bowers He had felt the bliss of dear wife's
 kiss,
 He had gazed in his children's
 eyes;
 He had felt the pull of heart that
 was full,
 Yet he was not afraid to die. His county's need was his loyal
 creed.
 So true to his oath he swore; When fate designed his duty's line, He fell at the drunkard's door. Ready to fall at the county's call, He is gone, but not forgot. He is under the sod, but his souls
 with God,
 And his heart is in Prescott.

BOWERS, SENIOR, WAS
 THRICE ELECTED SHERIFF

In connection with the story of the death of Ed Bowers, undersheriff, added interest is given to the historic fact that his father was three times elected sheriff of Yavapai county, and died while holding that office. His first term was from 1874 to '76, and his second from 1876 to 1878, and he was elected third term, but died in 1879. He was one of the most popular sheriffs ever chosen in Yavapai county, which is strikingly evidenced by these two re-elections.

SEED SHORTAGE LOOKED
FOR IN THE SPRING

From all the Indications received
by the county agent, there will be a
severe seed shortage experienced in
Michigan this coming spring. AL
ready the different companies and the
farm bureau are sending out warn
ings to this effect.
Now is the time that the farmer
should anticipate his seed require
ments for the coming spring and get
them ordered. The farmers in this
county have already ordered nearly
a. thousand bushels Of seed oats. If
you have not already ordered, better
see your local farm bureau secretary
and place an order at once. Seed oats
will be selling at large premium at
planting time, for the seed must prac-
tically all come from old stock, as
last years crop was failure from a
seed standpoint.
Clover and timothy seed is nearly
all in the hands Of, the dealers and we
have only about 500 Of the usual re-
quirements. You know what this
means to the price. BY ordering now
you can get it at fair price and you
will be certain Of having it when you
want it next psring.

COMMUNICATION

Why don't the county road commits
sioners see that our roads are kept
open and plowed out, SO that traffic
can be let thru by auto?
We are not making this as crit
icism. But we run a large buss to
Section 16, two round trips, with 81
children that must attend school. The
children will be kept nice and cozy
in our heated busses and taken to
school more comfortable than by
teaming them down. Also, if they
ride in busses, you will save them a
lot Of sickness and doctor bills.
Mr.. Taxpayers, get together and
see that your rights are satisfied.
All the snow need not be plowed
out, but down to- about three inches,
SO that sleighing will be alright.
No reason why all our main trav-
eled reads couldn't receive some at
tention. The Houghton road is still
good, but with little blowing down
can be improved.
II this matter is a state charge,
let's got it done.

One -cf the most important live.
stock deals which Baraga county has
been Interested was brought to a
close last week, when Mr.. d. L.
Mcmillan. superintendent Of the, Up
per Peninsula Experiment Status at
Chatham, purchased a senior herd
sire from Alexander and Mitchell at
Three Lakes.
Mr.. Mcmillan has visited several of
the best herds in the upper peninsula
and some in the lower part Of the
state, but he finally decided to pur-
chase Canary Segis Beets 237625 H.
F. H. B.. to head the herd at the ex-
pertinent station. This bull was pur-
chased by Mr.. Mitchell from the Nor
thern State Asylum at Newberry and
has been used in their herd at Three
Lakes for three years.
Mr.. Mcmillan stated when making
the purchase that the animal had
some Of the best blood in the Holstein
breed, being from Canary Paul Fobes
Longfeld, the bull which made the
Newberry herd famous, and with a
little fitting would make enc Of the
finest show bulls in this upper coun-
try.
Messrs. Alexander and Mitchell
are certainly to be complimented on
maturing an animal that is deemed
fit to head the experiment station
