Old Jail Is Raced
At County Seat
Workmen get Ready for
Construction of the Pro-
posed New Building.

An ancient landmark of Pine county
fell before the wrecker's hammer this
week when workmen RACED the old
village Jail at Pine City. Built about
1898, by George j. Ries of st. Paul,
contractor who later served as
county auditor of Ramsey county
the old Jail has done its duty of har-
boring criminals, including murderers
thieves, bank robbers and numerous
other brands of law breakers. Few
indeed have been the escapes from
the old Jail as it was well built and
heavily reinforced with iron bars.
Frank Poferl, county treasurer, was
one of the workers under Mr.. Ries
when the Jail was built. Although
intended for only village Jail, the
building has also been used by the
county during all the years since its
erection and this accounts for the
assortment Of criminal types that have
graced its cells.
Only once in the 40 years has the
Jail been the scene of a suicide and
that was when prisoner chose to
hang himself with his necktie. The
wrecking of the old Jail was necessary
to make room for the new municipal
building that Pine City will soon con-
struct on the site. Other buildings
to 60 will be the village hall, a wooden
structure more than so years old, and
the old fire hall built at the same
time as the jail.

Linsley Opposes
A. E. Custafson
Willow River Man Will
Run as Sucker Candidate
for Superintendent.

E. B. Linsley, long resident of Pine
county who resides at Willow River
according to an announcement else
where in this issue of the Askov
American, has been selected by a
committee of citizens to run as a
sticker candidate for County Super
intendent of Schools.
The committee calls it an eleventh
hour announcement, as its action is
being taken because of alleged per-
nicious use of the county superin-
tendent's office for political pur-
poses. Mr.. Linsley once served two
terms as county superintendent of
schools in Stevens county and was at
one time court reporter. He oper-
ated newspaper at Willow River for
several years and was later post
master at that place.
Though the time is short, Mr. Lins-
ley announces that he will attempt to
see as many of his friends as possible.
