Quite little "breeze" was raised
by an alarm of FIRE sounded by the
court house bell last Friday afternoon
The fire was in the Jail. 1t seems one
of the prisoners heated a small poker
red hot and was trying to burn hole
through one of the partitions. When
it had burned through the boards
with which the cells are ceiled tbs
timbers, which wore very dry and con
siderahly rotted, took fire and hat
gotten under pretty good headwaJ
before the alarm was given. The lool
overhead and nearly all the ceiling p
one side of the cell had to be torn of
before the fire could be distinguished
The prisoner said he did it for fun, bu
it looks more like deviliEhness to al
outsider. 1t might have been prett,
dear fun for him had the building
burned down, as the Turnkey says h
would have been the last article car
ried out.
