Univeraity of LooisviUe) 20 North Academy Street Brookfield TALES OF THE I OLD FRONTIER I By ELMO SCOTT WATSON Newspjip«r Union.) FRONTIER COURTS AND FRON. TIER JUSTICE TN CONTRAST lo the complicated * conn procedure of modem com munities. administration of justice on the frontier of the Middle West was refreshingly simple and direct. Court was often held in a settler’s log cabin or the bar romn of a tavern and there was little formality about It. For Instance, the sheriff who called to or der the court presided over by Judge John Reynolds, a pioneer of Illinois, did not use the customary “Oyezl Ojez!” formula. Instead he rapped sharply on the side of the cabin and remarked in a casual tone: “Gome on in, boys. Our John Is going to hold Frequently these pioneer Judges knew little more at the law than the jurors, who were usually aware of that fncL Upon one occasion, after the jury bad received its instructions and retired, the foreman returned and re- poned a deadlock. When asked the trouble, he replied: “Why, Jedge, this 'ere is the difficulty. The boys want to know whether that ar you told ’em was raly the law or jest your own notion.” Upon being Informed that It was ‘Taly the law” he returned to the jury room and a verdict was soon reached. Another judge, who had the dis agreeable duty of sentencing a man named Green to be hanged, called the man before .him ami said “Now, Mr. Green, I want yon and all of your friends down on Indian creek to know that It’s not me who condemns you, but the jury and the law. The law allows you tiru* for preparation and the court wants to know what day yon would like to he ImugetL\ When Mr. Green seemed a bit shy about naming a date that would be convenient. His Honor said severely: \Mr. Green, it is a serious matter m't happen » in his life yon had better take ail the time you can. The court will give you until this day four weeks. Mr. Clerk, look at the almanac and see If that comes on Sunday.\ Assured that it did not. the judge then informed M*-. Green that tills day four weeks would witness lus taking- off. But the prosecuting attorney here Interrupted with tlie suggestion tha( a formal sentence should be pro nounced In which the case was re viewed, a sense of guilt impressed upon the criminal and repentance judge, “Mr. Green understands that he is going to be hanged this day four weeks as well as If 1 preached to him a month. You understand it tliat way, don’t you, Mr. GreenT* Mr. Green said he did, whereupon the judge ordered him back to jail and court was ad journed. America’s Marvels NATURAL AND OTHERWISE By T . T . Maxey THE AMERICAN SPHINX Set high above the shimmering waters of the picturesque Rock river on the shoulder of a huge bluff near Oregon, Rllnols, ninety-nine miles (by rail) from Chicago, and looking out over a ctmntiy that is indeed good to look npoxL is the colossal statue of the Indian Chief. Blackhawk—the largest concrete monument In America, if not In all the world—the American Sphinx. This statue Is the cnUearinit tribute of the scuipitf.r, Lorado Taft, to the American InrIIciL It depicts the fa mous chief stnntling erect, with folded arms, garbed in a long, flowing robe or blanket, which folds gracefully about the figure, gazing silently and In fare well attitude i.'er the fertile valley which the nembers of his tribe were wont to rr am. ’The attention-inviting location and pleasing preportiens of this mute fig ure lend to its bigness a nobleness of poise thrt is in complete accord with the courage displaved in the counte- nence of this sidendld warrior. This American sphinx rises from a huge concrete pedestal which rests upon the solid rock of the river bluff and weighs semething like 300 tons. In its construction approximately 400 barrels of cement and 4,000 pounds of twisted reinforcing steel rods were The subject was so unique and the construction so unusual that peculiar methods were of necessity called Into play. These methods and their appli cations excited extraordinary atten- In order to Insure the preservation of correct proportions a working model six feet in height was made. This model was then enlarged seven times. 'Then a mold was built over It. Afterward the model Inside of the mold was dismantled and removed. ’Then the mold was filled with con crete. Pink granite dust or screenings was mixed with the concrete. This process gave to the finished figure a granIte-Uke appearance. This mass was next afiowed to set. After the setting process bad terminated, the mold was razed and carried away and lo there merged and stood In all its glory an verlasfiBg ntemorlal to the passing of he A la . ita i.
