PRISONERS
CROWD PRISON

The local police were kept on the
go yesterday and last evening and as
a result the prisoners quarters at the
Police Station were filled to their ut
most. 1t became necessary at last to
allow many of the plain drunks' TO
go home on their own recognizance.
Many of the drunks had fighting jags
and for awhile the police were unable
10 account for the large number of
prisoners.
One of the men arrested was John
Williams, colored, who caused some
excitement at the police station by
making a break for liberty while Dan
iel Eakin. acting turnkey was taking a
prisoner TO a cell. Williams started
to run toward the entrance when
Eakin opened the door Of the cell
but the officer was behind Williams in
an instant. In court this morning
Williams was one of the few who
we're fined 81 and costs.

for the loyalty and the untiring efforts
of the clerks and the carriers to give
the people good service. Thousands

ages were handled and no complaint
was received from any quarter.
Not only did the men work hard,

all did more than their share of the
duties that fell to them. Assistant

put in much of their time on the street
directing the collection and delivery
of the big rush of mail, while Mr..
Jester and Mr.. Campbell worked on
the floor at the postofice.
Everybody is pleased with the ser
vice given. and more delighted than
