Robert R. Boyd, Bismarck Pioneer
Recalls Building of Court House

to the county by the contractor. The
log Jail was n story high and had a
good roof. The windows were as high
as the room taken by n logs and
strong iron bars were set in the logs
above and below. The windows we're
about two and a half feet long, east
and west.
There was one outside door on the
south side and, I think, four cells, two
in each end, with the kitchen and Jail
office between.
On fine days the jailer generally
sat on a bench outside the door with
a Winchester rifle across his knees
and a big six -shooter belted on
Alexander Mckenzie was sheriff
and L. N. Griffin was one of the
deputies. There may have been more.
Frank Donnally was, I think, chair
man of the board of county commits
sioners. w. B. "Billy"NBell was county
treasurer.
I know the courthouse and Jail were
built in 1880, as the writer drove the
team and Frank Mason, if I remem-
Der rightly, held the pillow while we
marked out the foundations after
Robert Mason and P. j. Pauley's SUI
pe%rintendent set the stakes marking
them out.
The writer and his brother Boyd,
now of Riverside, Calf, went to Bis
marck in the spring of 1879. B. E'oyd
nodded all the brick for the court
house and Jail.
Vrey respectfully,
ROBERT r. BOYD.

to The Tribune from Robert r. Boyd.
a pioneer Bismarck citizen and now
living at 7465 Dufterin avenue, River
side, Calf.
Mr.. Boyd's letter follows:
|, Editor of The Tribune:
I motive in your weekly issue of
August IA an article headed County
Is Removing Old Cage From Jail" in
which you say Nobody seems to know
how the cage got there; that it was
built in at the time the building was
erected, believed to be between 1873
and 1882"
P. j. Pauley and company, st. Louis,
Md, had the contract for building the
courthouse and Jail, which was done
in the summer and fall of 1880. Robert
Mason of Bismarck had the subcon-
tract from P. j.. Pauley and company
to do the brick and stone work.
The Jail cage came shipped in Sec
tons, such as could be handled my
manpoWer, and came loaded on two
flatcars. The writer was driving a
team for Mr.. Mason at that time and
holped to haul the cage sections from
the "a to the courthouse grounds.
The old log Jail on the southwest
corner of the courthouse square was
occupied and was left standing until
the new buildings were turned over

life he is respected and obeycd. He knows his Job and
ne knows It we'll. No one can find fault with his skill
In It.
But out here. on the golf course-what a difference!
He is. as we said. just a golfer. He swings his club fu-
riously and his ball flies off at an unaccountable and IL
logical tangent. He pursues it. assails it with another
club and succeeds only in running a bit of turf. With a
strange CLEAN In his eye he tries again and plants his
ball in a babbling brook.
And so 1t goes. for two or more hours. His companion
in play. perhaps Is a chance acquaintance of the links
a $SS-a-week %youngstcr who. off the course, is just an
underling, obliged to address this man with awe and
respect. But on the course the positions are reversed.
The young nobody slams a 200-yard drive straight down
the fairway, and a look of unqualified admiration enters
the older mans eyes. His money cannot buy him a
drive like that.
When the round ends the men step back into their
daily roles. The young man runs to catch the trolley,
and the elder one gets into his $1,000 automobile. He
is a Somebody once more. But for a short time he has
been q nobody. a duffer, a desp:sed underling-and it
has been good for him.
Oh, yes-onc ought to add that in all probability the
two have been accompanied on their round by a 15-year-
old italian caddy in patched pants, who could take a set
Of discarded clubs and lick the daylights out of the two
Of them.

NEW YORK WOrld)
With respect to the question that we raised the other
DAY as to what became Of the ancient custom of award
Ing magnificent belts to heavyweight boxing champions.
M. Ned Brown comes along with some more information.
Inc thing was abandoned, 1t seems, simply because it
became too expensive, not in initial cost but in upkeep.

that being the end Of one fine belt.
All OF this suggests that the Ring Magazine may have
been hesty In ordering the handsome gaud that it pro-
poses to award to the winner Of the Sharkey- Schmeling
fight. Perhaps 1t would have been better to have reverted
TO the old Spartan idea Of money. which was that, lest
II corrupt the soul of its possessor, it should be made OF
iron. A belt made Of this metal, suitably chased and en-
graved, would wildly symbolic the kind Of fist that it
takes to win q championships; at the same time We guar
antee that it would appear In no hook shops, for your

interested only In intrinsic values. However, the modern
champion does not seem to visit hook shops as often as
his predecessors did, so We shall see what happens to
the belt
