Changing Sheriffs At The Jail

Sheriff Gillen has moved his goods

Sheriff Gauntlett is moving in--business goes on just the same

Sheriff Gillen removed with his household goods to Saline Tuesday morning. The first wagons with Sheriff-elect Gauntlett's goods arrived from Milan at the jail at noon Tuesday.

The residence portion of the jail was stripped of furniture and carpets. Turnkey Kelsey was acting as cook and put up a pretty good meal for the prisoners, who number about 30.

The new undersheriff, Gauntlett, arrived with the Milan goods.

Sheriff Gillen has made an excellent sheriff for the past four years, attending to the duties of his office up to the handle. He retires with the best wishes of many friends.

Sheriff Gauntlett comes in with the largest majority any sheriff has had in very many years and with the best wishes of the people for a successful administration.
