: PAGE TWELVE PRISON BAD MEN PASSING A Penitentiary Employe Recalls - Days of Whipping Post, |e" ° Army planes soared over the Sifert Rule . Take it straight from a man that | has watched them come and go for more than 20 years. The men com- ing to the state penitentiary aren't! half as tough as they use to be. The observer is Roy Riggs, su- perintendent of the department where | twine is rolled into balls, since 1906. At the time Riggs came to the peni- tentiary twine manufacturing was a small item and for nearly two years he spent his time in several depart- ments. For the last 20 years, how- ever, he has held his present job. “No,” said the superintendent, as he watched with an eagle eye the work of the men in the twine de- partment, “taking them as a whole, these boys we have here now aren't bad at all, compared to the average tun of the fellows ‘sent up’ 20 years ago. Bad Men Missing “The prisoners at that time were for the most part really tough eggs, most of them up for long terms. ‘We've had bank robbers, hold-up) artists, murderers, and the list leads right down to the ce thieves and jurse snatchers. me of the fel- lows were just naturally downright ornery and we had to take them for a visit to the whipping post once in awhile, That was permitted by law| at that time. But generally they) ‘were just chained to a post and given | @ chance to think over their mis-| ; demeanor, That usually was suffi- \ cient. |. “Back towards the beginning of ' the century, we had what was known as the ‘silent rule’. No prisoner, ex- cept on extraordinary occasions, was itted to speak. We had a lot of trouble enforcing the rule but a/ ba 2 or two to the post was usually sufficient. “The fact that the pri this time aren't as hard: the prisoners used to be is explain-| ‘able for the most part by their ages. | ty years ago we had few men in their early twenties but now many are mere kids. Those are the boys that cause the| trouble now, because they are us- ually just in for a year or two and don’t get the training that the old- timers do. The ‘lifers’ and those doing time for bank robbery and Second degree murder are for the most part the easiest to handle. They realize they are here to stay and cause little trouble.” FISHERMAN I$ + PUBLICITY SHY ers at led as Mexico Goes Wild As Mexico City.Juné 14.—(AP)—An- nouncehnc that Captain Emilio Carrarza had landed at Bolling Field start-d a frenzied celebration in the Mexican capital yesterday, milling cowds thronged the streets, cheer- city.

Thompson today. The group has all the accommodations of a home, sleeping quarters, clothes closets, and bathrooms. Men are needed at the fire hall during the night because night fires are more dangerous than day fires, he said, Members of the partially- paid department may be called more easily during the day than at night. The city department is made up of 14 men, though many others may readily be obtained in case of emergency, who are paid by the hour while fighting fires. William Mc- Carmick and George Haugen, truck drivers, are full-time men, taking care of the machinery and the hall. Robert Melville is istant chief. A triple combination Seagrave six-cylinder truck is their most effi- cient machine. This car, which was purchased 18 months ago, is equipped with fire hose, pump, and a chemical tank with a capacity of 700 gallons. Another truck is equipped with a 45-foot extension ladder and a chemi- cal tank. The Seagrave has 135 horse-power. Bismarck has had fewer fires dur- ing the last year than the preceding year, the chief says. An average of four calls a month has been recorded. The department keeps an accurate check on fires, amount of loss, ex- posed property, and the causes, which are investigated closely. One of the department's investigations this year resulted in the conviction of a man on a charge of arson. RAIN AT GRAND FORKS Precipitation of .01 reported by Grand Forks was the only rainfall recorded in North Dakota duri the 24-hour period ending at " _.

Most of the ‘Antoine Dennis, 76-year-old Brulejother points iver guide, who may show Presi- dent Coolidge where to fish, doesn’t care to bask in a glare of publicity. “I’m not giving any more details of my life history,” was his decision. “They have been coming around here in cars and using up my time. Y’ve got work to do. I’m guiding a ty over .here on the Brule that ’ve guided for 37 years, and these newspaper men—and there was one ‘woman too—came over there and had me talk to them for two hours. “And they don’t pay me anything for it either,” he said as a last clinching argument for privacy. Swinging a sack of potatoes over shoulders that looked powerful in spite of their age, he gripped a stained corn cob pipe between his teeth and strode off with a last re- joinder, “‘No, I'm through with all of them.” And the reporters were unanimous $n their belief that a press agent is perhaps the most insignificant per- son in Antoine's life. How Would You Like _ to Shoot Fireworks? ~, Just imagine having nothing to @o but shoot fireworks! . Active boys and girls who never seem to have enough firecrackers and Roman candles and such to fire on the Fourth of July will likely think this an injustice—but it is a fact that there are men who not only apm all their time arranging and 5 fireworks but who actually get paid for it. Several of them will come to Bis- Marck ready to fire the display which will be presented by the ‘Thearle-Duffield Fireworks company @t the Fourth of July celebration. From one year's end to the other,| traveling from coast to coast and Canada to the Gulf, these grownup boys, for whom fireworks still hold @ thrill, arrange, set up and shoot off fireworks displays that range small assortments worth a few dollars to spectacular pro- ductions costing as much as $10,- 000.00 a night. All of their daylight hours are spent arranging the show for that lar night, for it takes many to prepare a flood of fire that h is over in half an hour. By nightfall every piece must be i; » 80 that when the lights 7 ite the-start fe the Siemaorks May run from one fuse to the other, touch a flaming torch to loose end and paint the black mantle of night with broad and bril- lant fires of every conceivable color.
