Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 204, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 August 1915 — Sheriff Refuses to Harbor Town Prisoners at Fowler. [ARTICLE]

Sheriff Refuses to Harbor Town Prisoners at Fowler.

When Marshal John Bowman, of Fowler, arrested a prisoner Saturday, night and took him to the jail he was refused admittance without a commitment. This he obtained at some trouble and delay. Sheriff Hamilton has given notice that he will not receive any prisoners that Bowman may arrest. There will be a meeting of the town board, with the city attorney, and the matter will be considered. It seems that the sheriff has not been getting what he believes to be his share of the business. The marshal has been sent out on several important journeys. This is believed to be the reason the sheriff has refused the use of the jail to prisoners he doe* not arrest.

At 9:30 o’clock this morning Miss Vera Healey gave a breakfast in honor of Miss Ruth Pavey, of Frankfort. The breakfast was attended by fourteen boys and girls of “the bunch.’' This afternoon -Miss Jane Parkinson gave a lawn party to the girls.
