Bloomington (IN) Telephone, January 30, 1913, p. 1. PUT 'EM IN THE OLD LOG JAIL No Royal Bastille to be Built in Brown Brown County is not to have a new jail but, instead, $50 good dollars ae to be expended in repairing the roof of the old jail. An Indianapolis firm presented plans and specifications to the board of commissioners at the last meeting by which a small but substantial jail and sheriff's residence could be erected for $15,000. The commissioners deferred action until the county council met again. Auditor McGee called the council in special session. A Johnson County man was present with plans for a building to cost $10,000. A number of citizens were present at the meeting, and a lively discussion ensued after which the council made an appropriation of $50 to be used in putting a new shingle roof on the old log jail. Sheriff Calvin, who was present at the council meeting, asked as soon as the appropriation was made: "Shall I put my next prisoner in the old log cabin?" He was told to "put 'em in."

Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Telephone, January 25, 1913, p. 1. LOST MAIL SACKS AND BUGGY IN HIGH WATERS The Brown County Democrat tells of a rural mail carriers' narrow escape: "Carrier John Allison, after battling with the elements all day last Thursday on Route 3, intersected by some of the most treacherous streams in the county and nearing home several hours late, had a narrow escape from drowning in Claylick three miles east of Nashville. He attempted to ford the stream at a point where he had often crossed before when the creek was higher than on this occasion, but a small stream that empties into the main channel had washed out the creek bed, and into this plunged the horse, rig and driver. All were completely submerged, and Allison, after freeing himself from the entanglement, swam to shore. The horse was carried downstream and, in its effort to gain a foothold, floundered near the bank where Hugh H. Adams, who witnessed the incident, caught the reins, and the animal was cut loose from the buggy and assisted up on the bank. The buggy was a total wreck, and the mail sacks and contents were carried away by the current. Aside from the government loss, Allison was loser to the extent of a new $15 overcoat, the buggy he was driving and some change. The overcoat has since been found-in two pieces-evidently having caught on a limb and torn by the strength of the current. Allison finished the trip to town afoot leaving the horse with a farmer."
