| Sheriff Perry 1895 Misc. |
| Sheriff Perry has Charlie Burns the colored desperado who shot Tobie Shine last winter in this city. Leslie the convicted diamond thief, is again resorting to means to effect his escape from the county jail, this time by offering a roll-of-queer to "safeties" about the jail. Sheriff Perry has received the authority of the county commissioners to send all the county prisoners except Leslie, of many aliases and crimes, out to earn their daily bread on the highway.
