Old CalabOose Gone

The frame building that has
served as city Jail for more than
thirty years has been converted to
other use. A few weeks ago it
was sold to A. G.. Groes and last
Tuesday was removed to his resi-
dence property in the west part Of
town. The work of removing was
a short job. 1t was placed on a
couple of skids and hitched behind
T. D. Mouser's traction engine and
was soon on the other side of town.
Wednesday morning Jones Bros.
put force of men to work on the
new cement block Jail contracted
for by the city council some time
ago. The new building will be
entirely of cement and fire proof.
