PRISON COMMISSIONERS
FIRE" CAPT. GENTRY


News was received here this week
from Frankfort that Capt. Robert
X. Gentry, Of Lincoln county, has
been discharged as a guard at the
Frankfort penitentiary, where he has
been on the warden's staff for many
years. Capt. Gentry's head "came
off it is said. because Senator X. l..
Hubble, of this county. refused to
vote to retain Eli II. Brown and liar-
vey McCutchen on the Board of
Prison Commissioners. when the new
prison board bill recently came up
in the senate.
Senator Hubble was a strong adj
ministration man, aid would not al
low the present prison commission
ers to control him. so that they get
their revenge by dismissing Capt.
Gentry, who had originally been APP
pointed to his place by Senator Hub
ble's influence.
Capt. Gentry has made splendid
record as guard. at Frankfort. it is
said. and his friends will make n
strong effort to have him reappoint-
ed when Gov. McCreary names the
new Prison Board in June, when the
new law goes into effect. Under the
new law. the guards can only be re-
moved foJ cause. and are not sub
iect to the within of some politician.
Six other guards at the penitentiary
were discharged at the same time as
Capt. Gentry.

scnCm1nC. A1e STOOD uD Tor a Det1ec
view. One glance was sufficient. It
was Ryanne, the erstwhile affable
Ryanne Of the reversible cuffs: his
feet and hands still in bondage, his
clothes torn, his face battered and
bruised like sailors Of Sunday
morning on shore-leave. The sight Of
Ryanne frightened him considerably.
Although he was singularly free from
the spirit Of malevolence, he was, new
ertheless, human enough to subscribe
to that unwritten and much denied
creed that the misery Of one man rec
onciles another to his. And here was
company such as misery loved; here
was a man worse off than himself,
whose prospects were q thousand
times blacker. Poor devil! And here
he was, captive of the men he had
wronged and beaten and robbed. AS
seen through Georges eyes, Ryanne's
outlook was not a pleasant thing to
contemplate. But oh! the fight this
one must have been! If it had taken
five natives to overcome him, how
many had 1t taken to beat Ryanne
into such a shocking condition? He
was genuinely sorry for Ryanne, but
in his soul he was glad to see him.
One white man could accomplish
nothing in the face Of these odds; but
two white men, that was a different
matter. Ryanne, once he got his legs,
strong, courageous, resourceful, Ry-
anne would get them both out of it
somehow. And if Ryanne
hadn't the rug, who the dickens had?
The tumble of questions that rose
In his mind, seeking answers to the
riddle Of Yhiordes rug, subsidized even
as they rose. The bundle to the far
side Of Ryanne stirred. He had, in his
general survey Of the scene, barely
set a glance upon it, believing it to
be a conglomeration of saddle-bags
(made Of wool and cotton) and blan
kets. It stirred again. George stud

victim, watchful and attentive. His
intention was to take him no far
Their than the outskirts of the city,

that the young man would find some
one to guide him back to the hotel.

renewed turbulence; "and you may

Mahomed, no longer pacific, struck
George violently upon the mouth. He,
on his part, was unknightly enough to
