A I.ioiit commissioner visited the poor

were paupers. No prisoners wero incurcerated
there as since tlio prisoners escaped by burn-
ing a hole through tho door tho County Judge
has declined to roccivo moro prisoners until
tho place is secure.
Mr. Dclorosns tho present Suporintondcut Is
u good man and competent officer doing his
duty in every respect. Tho sick inmates speak
highly of his kind treatment.
Tho 10-aeru Held has been well cultivated
and would have been tho best gardon in tho
neighborhood but for tho roeeut severe hail-
storm which destroyed everything in tho shapo
or vegetation. At that timo ovon many of the
windows woro brokon. Thoso have not yot
boon replaced.
Mr. Dolorosa! took the Lioiit commissioner
round and showed him how easily and quickly
a prisoner could oscupu. At ono point n man
could kick out a board ovor tho nolo in tho
door at another ho could easily romovo the
rock and thus oscapo whllo if lio had an axo
ho could mako his oscapo in rivo minutes.
Mr. Delcrnsas suys ns soon as tho County
Commissioners win appropriate him onougii
money lor lime ho intends to have tho wholo
placo whitewashed nnd thoroughly cleaned.
Ho also proposes to put up iron bars in the colls
to prevent tho cscapoof prisoners sont thoro to
labor.
