from the city. Sheriff Lenfest, of
Anoka, who was here with prisoner
yesterday, says that BaSSett is just now
engaged in working up petition, by,
means of which he hopes to avoid Still
water and be allowed to eXpatiate the
sentence in the Anoka county Jail, in
stead of in the state prison, where the,
old associations would be more painful
to him.
