Behind the county jail here there
Is a big field. and Il is an every
day occurrence to see n ball game
In progress between two teams OF
prisoners with one man on guard.
The state penitentiary has a ball
team which plays the picked teams
OF the state on the local grounds
at Carson City, with the prisoners
as rooters, and not one so much as
lifted finger to escape.
And that Nevadans are ahead Of
Seattleltes is shown In the fact that
there is not a dissenting voice In
