State Prison Agent Looks Over Suspended Sentence Men.

John W. Brand, of Columbia City, was here Monday night and went to Hammond this Tuesday morning, He is a state prison agent, whose duty it is to go over the state and look up paroled prisoners, let them know that they must keep up their monthly reports if they expect to maintain freedom and also keep them impressed with the fact that dny infraction of the laws will result in their speedy return to the state prison. Mr. Brand came to Rensselaer to see John McClanahan, whose sentence was suspended following his plea of guilty. Although the sentence was suspended the prison board takes charge of the convicted man, and Mr. Brand went to Hammond where Mr. McClanahan works, in order to see him and have a talk with him.
