An Umbrella Mender Who Didn't Like to Stay in Jail.

 

Yesterday a "mushfaker, " whose trade is to drink up what he makes from umbrella mending, was brought to the county jail from Ypsilanti on a 30 days' sentence.

 

Thursday night he tried to break jail by removing the bricks in the chimney but was caught in the act. The tools he used was a file which was given him to mend an umbrella.
