Sister Raises Mcney He had intended to use this in seeking to get another trial, but about September 1, according to the petition, he received $200 from a sister of McDonald, residing in Bellingham, and with this he in- duced the court reporter to furnish him with a transcript of the ets- timony in the trial on which to base an amended bill of exceptions. There was a balance of some $600 due on the transcript and Grigsby guaranteed, personally, the payment of this sum. The $200 was raised by a mortg: on the home of McDonald'’s sister. At the time the bill of excep- tions was filed in July 31, Mr. Grigsby said, he had informed the court that the bill was inaccurate, since it was prepared from memory and abbreviated newspaper stories and because h ehad been unable to obtain a record transcript, and that he hoped to obtain the transcript of the testimony and thus be able to amend the bill. He obtained the transcript on September 10 and endeavored on the same day to have a time fixed for settling the bill of exceptions but was unsuc- ce necessary for from town, Mr. Grigsby obtained an extention of time to docket the appeal to November 15. Is Without Jurisdiction On September 29, having return- ed here, Mr. Grigsby again pe- titioned the court to set a time for fixing the bill of particulars, and Judge Harding set October 3. | On that day, an objection by the | United States that the court was without jurisdiction the matter was interposed by Judge Harding, and the matter was taken under advisement. Early in November, he ruled that he had no jurisdic- tion and refused to sign” the bill of exceptions. In the meantime Judge Harding | had extended the time for dockei- ing the appeal to December 10. he docket r 4, without any bill of exceptions. The petition is aimed to a mandamus requiring Judge Harding to sign the bill of par- ticulars. et Of 214 flocks of chickens on which records were kept in Ohio this year 16 lost money.

Henton, Kodiak sland guide and explorer, never shoots any of the world famous ‘ometimes wishes the bears were always in the same frame of mind about this conflict business. “You know that the Kodiak brown bear is the largest member of the bruin family,” Henfon said recently to the Seattle Times. “And natured enough to run away, occa- sionally you encounter a bad-tem- pered one. “I recall a recent incident in which it was fortunate for me that the bear belonged to the mors sociable group. I was riding up a deep ravine, when my horse sud- denly snorted and strained back- wards. Just five feet ahead of me, in the brush, an enormous bear reared up on his hind legs. He was considerate enough to take to flight. “Besides its allure for the big game hunter, Kodiak should have great interest for the archaeologist,” continued the explorer. “I myself stumbled upon the remains of four prehistoric villages, the before last.” Discovered Skeletons “Under a layer of volcanic ash, I discovered many well preserved human skeletons, together with stone implements, pottery and | hieroglyphics carved in solid gran- | ite. These were still in the same position as they were when some ancient volcanic eruption over- took them.” Henton was with Stefansson on that explorer’s 1913 expedition and | accompanied the aviators Dorbrandt |and Cope on the first flight over Kodiak. After visiting | during the winter months, he will | return to the “garden spot of the North Pacific” in the spring. e TAR HEEL BASKETBALLERS START UNDER NEW COACH CHAPEL HILL, N.

First the Ket- chumstock line was given back to the wilderness folk. Indians and | trappers appropriated the wire after | it was no longer useful for com- munications.

At these bréaks in the fences, they crected poles from from the telegraph line. It was™ at the free end. Then the tribe organized a caribou drive. The animals stampeded across the | plateau and, encountering the pole fences, drifted along them until they came to the openings. The noosed wires swinging over these trapped many animals.
