1857. You may see the barber shops crowded with our poor mechanics, who pay from three to five dollars a quarter for being shaved.

1910. Two of the convicts were at work in the carpenter shop and the others were in the tailor shop. A Union Pacific switch engine had backed into the prison yard. At the sound of the whistle the men dashed into the yard and made toward the engine. Levelling dummy guns at the engineer, the men climbed into the cab and compelled him to reverse his engine. The engine with the convicts aboard rushed through the west gate into the open country and soon was speeding toward the woods.—N.Y. Evening Post, April 21.
