Everybody knows City Jailer Sol
KimbaH He is probably the oldest
employee in the service of Salt Lake
City today. His connection with the
municipal government began thirteen
years ago, and, with the exception Of
four years Liberal administration, has
never ended. n this time he has seen
thousands Of faces, has never ceased
to study them, and experience, coupled
with observation, has made him the
most efficient, energetic. and, at the
same time, easygoing individual ever
at the helm of the city hosiery.
More than this. the jaiier has become
an administer Of medicine of some
note. He at present does ninety-nine-
one-hundredths Of the doctoring at the
Jail, and his accomplishments in the
way of curing the morphine habit-fif-
teen cases in all-haYe attracted wide
spread attentions
If Sol were asked why he ism the
laughing stock of the local world of
criminals. as in days gone by. he would
own up, and answer, Experience.
And if he were asked why we do not
want the Philippines. he would answer
in the same way. Experience is every
thing, he believes, and in saying So he
speaks from experience.
Jailer Kimballs ms and outs OF early
prison life-or, rather, his initiation
into his present position-are entertain
ing to the listener, for he tells them in
d way that's all his own. He sone-

"reminiscences. il caught by the phono-

Thirteen years ago. Time flies, Cor
sure. Why, all the city offices were
here then, and old Solomon Vas chief.
They We're great days, and l remember
how l came here-Ereen as grass 1T

TO make a fellow feel bad. to have that
to explain on the very day of his en-
ployment, but the chief didn't scold.
He told me they We're not the kind Of
prisoners to let out; that I should have
men l could trust. So 1 hit upon Paddy
Boyle for trusty. and put him to
grooming the horses. Paddy stole all
the currycombs and brushes at the
place while l was at dinner. sold them
at a secondhand store. and was found

Sol went on to say that after Paddy
escaped punishment, everybody around
the place thought they could do lust as
they pleased with him-even the wo-

the kitchen work The door was never
locked, and one day they got out, and,
after a long hunt, Sol found them at a
circus in the southern part of town

had to say to her Maynard child, who,
by the time Sol appeared, was blocks
away. The mother had been talking
to herself.
Il was taken in worse than that by a
fellow named Murray continued rhe
jailer. "He was in for drunkenness,
but l told him it was for murder. The
fellow took it to heart Che didn't know;
he was drunk at the time). Murder"
he exclaimed. Yes, murder, / said, and
walked away, laughing in my sleeve at

We'll, it happened that the masons
had been building a chimney in the jail
and had sawed a little hole in the roof
The chimney was built from the floor
almost to the ceiling of the second
story, and that night Murray tore 1t
all down and crawled through. He
jumped across Il ten-fOot alley and
down on to a barn, about thirty feet
He jumped twenty feet from that to
the ground, and it's a mystery to this
day how he did it without killing him
self. But he got away.
The jail was kept pretty full in those
days, and the chief came to me one
morning and said: Sol, you're not Civ
ing us enough men on the chaiu-eang.
You have forty in there, and only turn
out fifteen Well I said, the men

themselves with pin and painted the
sore.

ton! Does anybody remember him?"
No one did. He used to get Si5 a
month and furnish his own medicines.
The city had a ton of sulphur and a
fiVe-gallon can of coal oil down cellar,
and when Doc was called, no matter
what the complaint, he gave them coal
oil and sulphur. 1t used to puzzle me
how he cured so many ailments with
the same remedy. In extreme, serious
cases, he'd give them a little Indian
root (also in the CELLAR, but Doc al
ways kept his $75.'
The jailer thought for a moment Of
the most familiar faces in and about
the jail. Eph Kelly was one, and was
addicted to whisky fits. Whenever lie
get on drunk he would have one, and
the only remedy for it was a big drink.
That was all right said the ia.le",
but pretty soon every man in Jail got
to having them. They lay on the floor
and roll their eyes and squirm and
kick, and even froth at the mouth. and
l was forever running to the drugstore
after whisky. Somebody said they were
making a fool OF me. but | wouldn't
believe it. 1t was six months before l
found it true. The snap had spread

saw a fellow spit piece of soap out Of
his mouth, and that let the cat oar.
Those fellows actually put soap in their
mouths to make the frothing effect
realistic.
Then we had six fellows who pot
pretty mean, and put them on ,.esld
and water in three cells on the ground
floor, moving all the either prisoners
upstairs to keep them from passing
food to them. After we thought they
had been punished sufficiently, they
we've sent to the table again and there
it leaked out that they'd been living
on the fat Of the jail, passed doWn
through a stovepipe from the lloor
above Oh, they played lots of tricks,
and there was nothing they wouldn't
do to cause me trouble. One man used
to bring an oyster pie to his wife every
day with a pint bottle of whisky inside
of it. We knew the woman'gOt- drunk,
but couldn't tell where the liquor came
from These same women used TO
carry off all the new blankets we
bought as petticoats, and Sam G1ice
used to eat pills of soap to make aim
look like q consumptive. He worked
upon my sympathies once and got u
pardon. That was a new one on me.
The last time the old hall was paint
ed it was done by four painters who
got drunk on the city, and got ninety
days each to give them plenty of time
to finish the job. That was once we
got even.

The readers Of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh, being a constitu.
tional disease. requires a constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation Of the
disease and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work. The
p%roprietors have so much faith in it,
curative powers that they offer One Hun.
dred Dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list Of testimonials. Ad-

Perhaps the greatest mechanical feat
of the century has been the raising Of
some of the Spanish warships &hich:were
apparently shot to pieces at Santiago. 1t
seemed utterly impossible to float them
because of the terrible dammage inflicted

complished. Disease of the blood, stom-

so that there appears to be no chance Of
recovery. But when Hostetter's Stom-

Harry Burned Alive.

Rev. U. G. Rich was called to Wibaux
on Tuesday to o~ficiate at the funeral of
Harry Smith, son of Andrew Smith. On
Sunday night Harry requested to sleep
with the hired man in a log-shack neal
the house. The shack was heated and
soon after eight o'clock he took a lantern
and went to the shack to retire. The
man was otherwise engaged and at the
time when the fire was discovered it had
SO far progressed that the root had fallen.
The boys ashes and charred trunk were
found neal the door, showing he had
made an effort to escape. 1t is suppos-
ed that the fire started by the explosion
of the lantern.
Harry was ID years Of age, a boy uni
versally esteemed, and the large attend
ance at his funeral shows the regard felt
for him by the people.
