OLD COUNTY JAIL Is BEING
TORN DOWN AND MOVED
Historic Old Shack That Housed
Many PrisOnesr is to Give Way
Now to Something Better.

The old block house, which served
Bryan county as jail from State
hood until the new court house and
Jail was built, and which served old
Blue county of the Choctaw Nation
for Il similar purpose for no telling
how many years way back yonder,"
is being torn down this week, with
an effect of great relief to the seem
cry surrounding.
There probably never was a worse
jail. from either the sanitary point
Of view or from the standpoint of re
tanning prisoners placed within. De-
liveries were numerous, and a close
watch had always to be kept on tho
premises to keep the inmates from
tearing II down with their hands
All the prisoners were kept in one
large room and they had ample op-
portunity and time to hatch their
schemes for escape.
The property is owned by the es-
tate of r. l.. Williams, who died a
year or more ago at Clay Center,
Kansas. Rumors of modern busin-
eTs houses on this ground have often
been started, but nothing ever hap
EoneG until the tearing down pro-
c'Ss began when the rumors began
to be revived.
