| mony 10 speak OF. The pie and wine ',
kept back as surprise. The cells aver,
| age five men and they squatted around
and devoured their rations with the pro-
found airs of connoisieurs. The air of
| me County Jail is peculiarly bracing and
induces good appetite. 1t goes without
| saying that the dinner was appreciated.
After the solid victuals were disposed of
Jailor Russell and his brother entered
the tanks, followed by the TRUSTEES, carry
ing demiiohns of wine and armfuls of
mince pie and baskets of fruit. At the
sight OF these there was great cheering.
Many OF the prisoners did not drink, but
they held out their cups just the same
and when the jailors had passed the cell
| they closed it out to the highest bidders.
There are some amenities to the lot Of
the prohibitionist. After the desert ci-
gars and cigarettes were served out at
the expense Of the jailors. Everybody
smoked
Outside of the tanks the jailor and his
family and the women in the Jail, to-
gether with the TRUSTEES enjoyed an es-
pecially good dinner with turkey and all
the traditional accomplishments. Their
quiet festivities were interrupted from
time to time by the uprorious cheers
which came from the inner part of the
Jail. Three cheers were given for Sheriff
Kays and three for Russell, the Jailor.
AS the reporter walked through the iron
corridors outside of the tanks he heard
on all sides only expressions of esteem
and gratitude. Their good nature took
the form of communication whiah it
was their desire should be published in
the morning papers. 1t reads as follows:
