This Eskimo man shifted his love to a married Eskimo woman and killed her husband with his spear so he could marry the widow. This started a blood feud. The final reckoning showed seven killings — the white trade, a Royal Mounted corporal, three Eskimo men, an Eskimo woman and an Eskimo child. The whole affair was the most blood-curdling, melodra- matic crime wave in Arctic history. It out-movied the movies, the “color” including a band of stranglers led by an Indian sorceress. Truth is stranger than the movies. This Eskimo crime wave was staged beyond the out- skirts of civilization. But murder is murder in the juris- diction of the Royal Mounted, whose members are indiffer- | ent'to distance or time. bok The surviving murderers were rounded up in a log jail By radio, word was flashed southward to Edmonton, Canada. _ Judge Dubuc, of the Alberta courts, made a 3500-mile round trip into the Far North, presided over the trials, passed sentences. In making the trip, his conveyances cluded train, motorboat, steamboat, soow and canoe. At one point in-the journey, machinery eclipsed romance while his boat was portaged 10 miles by auto tractor. When the long arm of the law reaches out, grabs crim- inals and sends a judge 3500 miles to try them in court, we realize how small the world has become for the individual criminal. The law now blankets nearly every part of the carth—as far as the individual law-breaker is concerned. A long way to go before law-breaking nations will be held to aecounting with similar unrelenting severity. But it’ll come, in time. ANIMAL STUFF It isn’t true that the ostrich attempts to hide from dan- ger by burying his head in the sand. Instead, he lies down . with his neck stretched along the ground. In which posi- = tion, he looks like one of the large desert ant hills, even close at hand. = So the ostrich, after all, is wise and we’ve been unfair to him for centuries by jesting about his stupidity. A lot of = other inherited ideas’ that we confidently accept as gospel . ‘truth are really as false as the hokum about the “stupid” ostrich. f ‘ The truth about the ostrich is from the fascinating book, “Animal Personalities,” by Samuel A. Derieux. He finds the goat is the busybody of the animal kingdom, more curious than any creature except man. The goat’s curiosity leads him to poke his head intu aueEInE. So we get our expressions, “butt in” and “butt- insky.” Derieux says he has never been able to figure out why z:-gne dog is courageous and another not. One theory is that éach animal does the thing which is best for its own pro- tection. So a weak dog is protected by a natural timidity. A strong dog doesn’t need this protection. : That’s also the case with men. You rarely see a really _ strong man who is cowardly. Size doesn’t matter much. A Small man often is powerful, a big man fundamentally weak. When it comes to intelligence, Derieux rates dogs third. He agrees with Dr. Hornaday that the chimpanzee is the most intelligent animal, with the elephant second. The smartest bird, he finds, is the crow—which travels in bands ind posts sentinels to warn of danger.

An item like this will interest about a dozen times as many people #s could be induced to concentrate on the really Hhportant problems of politics or economics—which is the thief reason these problems remain unsolved. IRON MANUFACTURE INCREASES 5,2, Some business men are a trifle worried because produc- tton of pig iron in our country during August. was about a << gixteenth less than in July. Howeyer, August iron output was over three and a half mes as big as in August, 1921, during hard times. Also, it as a third larger than production in August, 1913, when mes were normal.

This is a question propounded to Judge William Murray of the county court by a Ryder farmer who las been sentenced (ta, begin serving a jail term on’ Degember 1, for viola- tion of the liquor law.

He will ask the man whether he believes that a man convicted and sentenced to serve a sentence for murder could substitute someone else to serve\ the term. Then, clarifying the thought he wishes to convey, he will inform the Ryder man that he will be oblig- ed to serve the jail sentence himself. WORLD WAR VET BURIED ie — * Courtenay,N: D..
