up Once More.
As it always does in the winter
months, the county jail is rapidly fil
ling up with men who get in for some
slight offense and have a nice, warm,
clean place in which to spend the
winter.
The latest addition to Sheriff Gon
yea's boarders is Chas. E. Butler, who
was sent up at Crookston for sixty
days on a charge of vagrancy. Butler
was let out a few days ago after serv
ing a thirty days sentence which he
received in East Grand Forks for the
same offense. He has been up in jus
tice court several times since then
and has been ordered out of Crookston
but refuse to go.
Few people realize how pleasant a
place the county jail is in which to
spend (he winter. The board is ex
cellent. The prisoners are furnished
meat at least once a day. The jail is
steam heated, is light and well ven
tilated and in fact has all the modern
conveniences of any of the finest flats
in the city. Judge Wilde has suggest*
ed that if the men were given rock to
break the county would'be ahead on
the deal. "There are all kinds of the
hard 'nigger heads' within a short dis­

but a trifle to 'haul in, and if a ya
was 'built which would be a protec
tion from the wind and the prisoners
turned loose in it with instructions to
break stone, they would have to do
so to keep from freezing to death,"
said the judge today. This broken
stone would make the finest kind of a
foundation for streets if it was givei
a top coat of gravel.
WILL HATE A TRACK.
Horse Men of Crookston Have Decid
ed to Have Some Racing this Tear.
The ice track on the river at Crooks
ton which has been talked of for some
time past, will be ready for use prob
ably on New Tear's day. It takes
about four or five days to get the track
in shape and work will begin at once
so that next Tuesday the track will
be ready and there will probably be a
large number of people out to enjoy
the drive. It is possible that there
may be a matinee on New Tear's day.

"OUDE" SMITH CBYS
IN HIS JAIL
CELL
Hack Driver Does Not Seem
Much Encouraged Over
the Outlook.
According to Deputy Sheriff Louis
Gonyea, Jr., who was here from
Crookston last evening, "Dude" Smith
does not seem very much encouraged
at the outlook. Al'mcst continually
since he has been in jail, the local' hack
.iriver has been crying. The helnious
crime with 'Which 'he is charged,
and the sentence in case of conviction
seems to have been too much for him,
and he is completely broken up.
Smith was arrested on a charge cf
attempting to criminally assault a
Aroman
in a hack, on which he was the
driver.
WOULD RETAI* THE INSPECTOR
Creameries in Red River Valley Want
the Office Continued—Brown
Making Investigation.
Secretary Brown of the Commercial
club of Crookston is receiving letters
from creameries located in different
sections of the valley relative to the
reported determination of the state
officials to discontinue the office of
lairy inspector for the northern por
tion of the state, and they all urge the
Commercial club to make a vigorous
campaign and do what is possible to
see if this cannot be kept on par with
the southern section of the state.
Mr. Brown in writing to the differ
ent commercial clubs in the sixteen
counties represented in thia inspec
tion district advised taking the mat
ter up with the governor. The agita
tion is in favor of retaining an in
spection in this district and it is not
suggesting any candidate for the of
Ice. The communications received
ay particular stress upon the need of
in inspector in this section, which ib
leveloplng so rapidly and gives pro
nise of considerable future develop
ment, and the question of Mr. Wink
ler's retention in the office that he
now holds is entirely foreign to the
agitation.
It is probable that the matter will
be brought up at the coming meeting
if the State Dairymen's association
and there is no doubt but that the
governor's office ana that of the state
lairy and food commissioner will be
''ooded with petitions relative to the
retention of an inspector in this dis
trict.
