Some time since an Q i man named George
Bailey was arrested for stealing $50 from a
man with whom ne WAS sleeping in Kin.'s
boarding house, on Commercial street. He
was aEested by Marshal Tofss and confined
IN ihe calaboose, and from there removed to
the county jail to await trial in the district
court. His name was George Bailey, his age
about 80 and his appearance that of man
somewhat dissipsted. During bis confine-
ment in the j.il he has been peaceable and
orderly, and was regarded by the jAiler
as harmless and somewhat eccentric
old man. The crime, he claimed, was his
fret otfense, and the statement is corrobo
rated by gentlemen who knew him in his old
home; nevertheless he was conhled at night
In one of those wretchedly ventilated and rat
infested cells of the county Jail. which are
almost as bad MS the black hole of Calcutta,
and standing disgrace to the officials of this
county. Jailer Higley is in the habit of
opening the cells early in the morning, and
allowing the pr soners the freedom of the
large room during the day. On yesterday
morning the cells we're opened rs usual but
the old man did not come forth, As no WAS
generally the frat out, the other prisoners
noticed bis delay, and supposing that he was
sick. as he had been complaining of
feeling uuwell, one of them went
TO the door Of his cell. and, looking in, saw
him lying on his bank. Without opening
the door the j.iler was called, and he discov
cred that the old man was dead. Aye, and

voured portions of his body Coroner Nc.
Oonsuehy was Immediately notified and a
jury summoned, who rendered verdict that
the deceased came to his death from cause or
causes unknown to the jury, and that nobody
was TO blame. A email box was found in his
cell, which gave rise TO the idea that he had
committed suicide to escape the horrors of
confinement IN such hole. No post
mortem examination was held, and tho
body was buried at the exper SO
Of the county. At the inquest one of
the prisoner stated that it was his belief that
the old man WAS insane. Mr.. w. Q. Nc

erected in the police station. On this
board there will be placed electric bells,
with numbers designating the business
houses with which each is connected.

the bells in the police station, will be
placed in the business houses. II the
