TEARING DOWN THE OLD JAIL
LOG STRUCTURE TORN DOWN TO
MAKE ROOM FOR RESI-
DENCE

The old county Jail, a log structure
and an old landmark, is being razed
to make room for a modern cottage to
be constructed by G. B. Buckman. The
old. Jail was built nearly a half cen
tury ago and for twenty years serv-
ed as the county Sbasti1e, the present
Jail being erected 26s years ago. It
was then moved from, a site at tho
center of the court house square,
frontage on Third street, to the: lot
just across the street on the east,
where it has stood ever since. A num-
Der Of years ago is was converted in
to barn and an addition built to it..
When the men started to tear the
old building down they found the tim
bers in it just as solid as ever and the
old iron bars were still fastened to
the windows. The jail building con-
tanned two cells, and two small rooms
for the jailer.
It is said of the old jail that dur
ing the twenty years it served as a
lookup not single prisoner escaped
from it.
