Inmates Of tho Ceuaty JaAi Speak.
The Sheriff OF Wapello county, Mr..
Spilman, was committed to jail for two
days at hard labor. We give brief
account OF the affair:
Last Friday the prisoner made his
appearance In the prison, and his lady,
Mrs. Spilman, turned the key on him
and, like all other good.hearted NO.
men, she poked the key through the
door to him for him to make his o..
cape At his leisure; but afrsid Of lot
ting other prisoners ont he played
sharp on tho other boys. He called
for water and lime and brush, and went
to with his sleeves rolled up to bis Of.
bows, and never was there . happier
time In Jail. The walls were swept
down and whitewashed all over, and
generally speaking, the old Jail looks
new. The Sheriff knew just what Ia
do to mako the dilapidated prison put
on clean face.
After the work was all over, and Z
good many hard jokes cracked, the
Sheriff made his exit.
We can frankly say lift had not beer
for our worthy Sheriff our place Of
uncleanness would have been unfit fol
a hog to remain therein. We the pris.
oners, give thanks, and hope that ouI
Sheriff will have al respect showed
him by eur worthy citizens.
