The State Prison.

When at Carson last Thursday the
editor Ut the INDEPENDENT paid Wis
it to the State Prison and was hospit-
ably entertained by Warden Hen
derson. While making the rounds of
the prison with the Warden, this
scribe was very much impressed with
the perfect confidence in each other
that seemed to exist between the
Warden and the prisoners. The
Warden had Il pleasant word for
every convict he met and, though the
difference in the position of Warden
and convicts was plainly marked, they
all seemed to have perfect confidence
IN him. Not one sullen convict was
seen about the prison. This is in
strong contrast to what has been OBJ
serven by this scribe on previous Wis.,
it's to the prison. Everything about
the prison is kept in first class order
and neatnrss prevails everywhere.
