to subscribe for his home paper sent
nis little boy to borrow the copy

reached his father, who ran to his
assistance, and tailing to notice a
barbed-wire fence, ran into it,
broke it down, cut haudful of flesh
from his anatomy, and ruined a $5
pair of pants The old cow took
advantage of the gap in the fence

ed herself eating green corn.

cream and into the parlor ruining
a $20 dollar carpet, and swallowing
the teeth as it went. During the
excitement tne oldest daughter ran
away with the hired man, the dog
broke up eleven setting hens and
the calves got out and chewed the
tails off four fine shirts. All this

KILLING PHEASANTS-
With None to say nay Wanted, a
Game Warden So Hunters
Say.
It is said that the killing of China
pheasants goes serenely on, the law
to the contrary notwithstanding.
A farmer drove his binder afield
the other day and the click of the
sickle was frequently punctured
with the reports of shot guns wield
ed by two hunters pursuing pheas
ants m an adjoining held. The
farmer couldn't leave his team long
enough to discover the identity of
the shooters, else there might have
been a case in court, for he was an
irate farmer, not only at the slaught
ot the pheasants but because the
shots frightened his horses and
made him trouble. Connected with
this matter of pheasant killing is
another incident, and that is 140
hunter's licenses have already been
issued. By October the number
will be 300. which means that Ben
ton will pay $300 this year for the
protection of its game, but without
sign or promise or a deputy game
warden, there is and will be no pro
tection. Why not? That is what
the hunters in all parts of the coun
ty are saying why not?
1 he pheasant crop this year is
unusually abundant.

bra Board Bill Won't pay
Charge for Keeping Green.
There is a chance for trouble
tween the sheriff of Benton county
and the county court . of Lincoln
The difference arises over the board
bill due for keeping Fred W. Green
in the Benton county jail while he
was held by Lincoln county pend
ing an investigation by the grand
jury into the death ot Sherratt
Green was kept in the Benton jail a
period of nearly sixteen weeks.
The law allows a fee of $5 per week
and the bll to Lincoln was render
ed on that basis. The amount was
$79.25. -The Lincoln county court
with that fine discriminination
sometimes manifested on such oc
casions, cut the bill to tdx.'is. Of
course there was no warrant for the
cat. Five dollars a week for the
safe keeping and maintainance of a
prisoner is not only fixed by statute
but is dirt cheap, and for that rea
son Sheriff Burnett does not pro
pose to accept the cut. He will, as
he ought to, go to law if necessary
to enforce payment of the full
amount. "
