COUNTY JAILS OF
STATE INSPECTED
Secretary Shahan Takes Turn
Examining Older Prisons
of Nebraska.
NO INMATES AT PAWNEE

Lincoln, Aug, e. (Special) -
After inspecting a number of ails
and poor farms in the newer coun.
tics Of the state, Secretary Shahan
Of the State Board of Charities and
Corrections took a turn last week
down in the Older counties of Gage
Richardson. Pawnee, ,Nemaha and
Otoe.
In Gage county he found an old
Jail in use which has been condemned
several times, but plans are now
being made to give the county a new
one, The poor farm of this county
consists ,of 100 ,aofes and is we'll sup,
piled with buildings, some OF Which
have been repaired since Mr.. Shahar
inspected them the last time. The
house is still lighted with the old.
fashioned kerosene lamps and hsould
have a more modern lighting system
The county pays superintendent
and his wife $85 month to run the
place and furnishes them everything
Pawnee county has no prisoners
but has fine modern jail in a fire.
proof court house. The county has
no poor farm.
New Jail Needed.
Richardson county needs a new
jail, but the voters refused to see ii
that way at the election, and so the
six prisoners confined therein will
have to crowd together in the two
cells, 7x7feet each, which hold six
cots which fold up against the wall
A room l0xl6feet contains bed and
toilet, with bath tub, and the cage
sits in a room l6xlS feet, leaving a
small corridor for exercise.
Mr.. Shahan hopes that his trip
to the Richardson county poor farm
and talk with the commissioners,
who were also there, will result in a
better condSion there. The county
has good farm of l20 acres under
a high state of cultivation and worth
$4,000. However the house is not
what it should be and is heated with
stoves and lighted with gasoline
lamps. There are no bath tubs.
The Nemaha county Jail at Auburn
is an old building and very unsanitary,
The floors are damp, the clothing on
the beds was damp and the odor
around is very offensive. -Four pris-
oners, however, occupy the place, and
has to stand for it. Secretary Sha-
han recommends a new jail.
Nemaha a Farm.
The Nemaha county poor farm is
a good farm, pretty well cultivated
and with buildings in pretty good
shape. 1t has modern conveniences
in the way of heating and electric
lights will be put in soon.
While the Otoe county Jail at
Nebraska City is pretty good jail,
with plenty OF room and equipped in
good shape with modern improve
ments, the prisoners do not sppre-
ciate all these attempts OF the people
OF that county to give them a life
OF luxury, and several OF them have
broken out and left the place.

who, as democratic leader Of the
