AS GOOD AS A N[X one
Marshall County's Jail. Remod-
eled Turnout Is Now a
Prison in Fact.
Jail Deliveries Will Be Almost
Impossible Under the Pres
ent Arrangement.
Tough Criminals to Be Kept Sep
arate From Those Held for
Minor Offenses.

The finishing touches on the county
lremodeling of the same, have been put
on, and Sheriff Shoemaker thinks he
has received very acceptable Christ
mas gift in the improved bastile.
Marshall county now has practically a
new Jail, one that is much more con-
venient and a great deal safer than
in the neighborhood of $4,000.
Almost the entire interior of the jail
has been remodeled and strengthened.
Formerly the two tiers of steel cages
in the Jail proper were in one large
room. While the cells were safe
enough in themselves. there was too
great opportunity for prisoners to aid
one another and receive assistance and
tools from the outside. Once outside
the cells it was little trouble to go thru
the walls or ceiling. as the brick were
unprotected and the roof was nothing
but corrugated iron and wood.
Now all this Is changed. There are
two floors to the Jail and two cell rooms
instead of one large one, and they are
as distinctly separate as Il they were In
different buildings. A steel floor was
built from the aoor line Of the second
tier OF cells to the outer walls, and
entrance to both the upper and lover
cell rooms is gained only from the
,... a.. -. ou.
