Court orders repair of hole in jail wall
Wyomin g County Sheriff Bert Short asked the County Court for permission to purchase a tipple screen and repair a large hole prisoners chiselled in the jail bull pen wall. A prisoner used a home made chisel to start the hole weeks ago with a newer chiseling heard Monday night. If a saw blade is obtained, inmates could escape. The court authorized immediate repair. The court also handled several exonerations and tabled one to discuss with the assessor. The court invited a library survey and authorized a desk for the court reporter.
