The rumor was rife that the old hardwood
shop to be torn down and a fourstory
brick building be put in its place, but we traced
the rumor to it's source and found that it had its
origin in the mind of man who saw the Warden
critically surveying the old ruins. But the OBJ
server was justified in supposng that the Warden
was figuring the removal of the old shop, for it
is disgrace to the fine buildings it stands along
side Of
The saltwater Gazette has this to say of
character once familiar about the prison: "Of
course he only dog, but then by his long
life here, his naturally fine canine qualities and
his almost da ily appearance in public as the
slant and devoted companion of his master, Hon.
g. NJ Seymour. brought Modoc into unusal promi-
hence. The old dog however, has now had his
day and accidently killed yesterday by a
street car on the North HILL
Two distinguished visitors the Gen1 Sup't of
the laundry and his chic engineer. called at our
office last Saturday to see the petrifed owls.
Their knowledge of petrified owls was limited, for
the engineer was disappointed because they were
not adorned with feathers. and the superintend-
ent thought them rather small, but with these ex-
ceptions they pronounced them wonderfully life
like. These wonderful curiosities will be on ex-
hibition at this office for the next two weeks. All
are cordially invited to call and them.
The boss of the laundry met with queer &C
cident Tuesday. While approaching window in
the Mushroom he stumbled and fell forward and
drove his chin through the center of a pane of
glass cutting several deep gashes in his chin. When
he withdrew his head there were several pieces of
glass sticking in the flesh more than half inch.

spot he retired to the hospital where they patched
him up in good shape and the washing goes on
just as if nothing had happened.
j. A. Long, who escaped from this institution
about six weeks ago, will arrive here probably to.
day accompanied by Deputy Warden Langum.
He was arrested near Sidney, Ohio, and confined
in the Sidney Jail to await the arrival of the
Deputy Warden. Long was not satisfied to enjoy
his liberty in silence, but must remind the War
den of his loss by writing him letter of inquiry
over the signature of his best girl To make
of a classical state prison term, the Warden
'tumbed" and sent streak of lightning after
him.
Bessie tells story that reflects somewhat
adversely upon Vince's bravery. She says that
he tried to deprive OLD hen of one of her little
chicks. but that Mother Hen objected and showed
fight whereupon the would-be kidnaper beat
hasty retreat. But fate was against him and he
fell. and Madam Hen swooped down upon his
PROSTATE form, and Bessie says he followed for
help. However, it is but fair to add that Vince
vehemently denies that he called for help and
says that he is not afraid of the crankest old hen
that ever walked on two legs
