Thursday. July, 22nd. 1915.
Mr.. Picullel is acting Asst. Deputy
Warden during Mr.. Whalen's absence
Occupant of cell 3l9-A would appreciate
it if someone would place his cell number
on the Railroad Mans Magazine. Thanks
in advance.
Thus far this month the Board of Parole
has granted ten paroles and six discharges,
a very fair allotment aid we are not sure
that there isn't more to come.
Mr.. Mcintosh. our landscape artist and
his corps of assistants are busy these days
keeping the grass trimmed down. 1t sure
is busy time for lawn mowers and border
shears.
Mr.. w. Billy Alexander is acting base
ball manager protein during Asst. Deputy
Whalen's absence. Here's hoping that
Chilly brings home the money in the next
contest.
Colonel Hassel and Mr.. P. Thomp-
son of the British Army accompan-
led by Mr.. Stack and Max Zimmerman had
the honor of being shown over the institu-
ton last Wednesday by Deputy Warden
Sullivan.
The members of the Board of Admins
tration of Texas we're guests of State Agent
Whittier last Tuesday and the gentlemen
from the Lone Star State seemed to be
highly interested in all the sights within
the boundaries of our Silent City.
Deputy Warden Sullivan went fishing
last Sunday. We can hardly figure out
whether he had any success or not. How
ever there has been no big fish stories sprung
around here as yet. And as they say silence
means assent, we take it that he must have
returned with a we'll filled hamper.
Warden Reed held his usual monthly in
terview with inmates last Monday. A num-
Der of the "boys" are aspirants for parole
and were up to get the Warden's o. K. on
their applications. Others were taking up
personal matters with him. Altogether the
Warden and his secretary Mr.. D. had a
busy day of it.
Capt. Alexander is some busy these days
dressing out our departing guests. And late
~ there has been considerable number on
the move for the exit. Some having COM
pleted their allotted time here, others gain
ed their release thru the Parole Board and
again some got "glory ticket" from the
Board of Pardons.
Capt. Brostrom of Dollhouse is one of
the most ardent fans our City boasts; while
he is not very much in evidence during the
game, he can always recount the good or
bad plays that occurred and also show how
they should have been pulled off. It's almost
as good as seeing the game to hear his YER
sion of it afterwards. Capt. sure is some
f'dope artist, at least in baseball parlance.
Visitors in large and small groups are
constantly passing thru this institution.
Some days there are more than on others
but the weekly average is close on to a
thousand. No doubt few come thru the
prison purely from idle curiosity yet many
are in search of useful knowledge such as
can only be obtained at first hand. How
ever what e'er their motive may be, one
and all are equally welcome. Among the
visitors here during the past week were a
party of students numbering some 800 from
the State Agricultural College, of course
their trip was largely from an educational
point of view.
The base ball diamond presented high
ly improved appearance last Saturday. Yet
with foul lines and coaching boxes all nice
ly marked out and good margin roped off
to keep enthusiastic fans from interfering
with the game, we lost. Considering this,
what are we to expect from our team next
Saturday when they clash with the Cali
Stars of So. Saltwater The players have
simply got to getdown and PLAY BALL! The
Mirror has given the team all the support
and encouragement possible, now it's up to
them to back up their publicity agents dope.
Let's see you do it on the oath.
Prof. Albert Schmidt is with us again;
in fact, has been for the past three weeks
and say there is certainly some improve
ment in the music, particularly in marches
since he has taken over the dictatorship.
Our readers will remember that the Prof.
essor was formerly our instructor here blu,
as he is a member of the Minneapolis
Symphony Orchestra, he resigned at the
beginning of their season early last winter:
We are not aware how long the Prof
essor will be with US, but trust his presen,
engagement will be of long duration for
under his able management we will soon
