A row is on between City Jailer Veith of Newport and Mayor Biltz as a result of the recent attempted jail delivery of last week. It seems that  Mayor Biltz understood that Veith had allowed a trusty to watch prisoners at the jail. Veith proved that this was a mistake.

Notwithstanding Biltz issued an order that every 30 minutes Nigh Jail Guard Craig must report the condition of the jail to Police Headquarters. Veith demanded an explanation and Wednesday Mayor Biltz rescinded the order. The incident is closed for the present at least.

Jailer Dan Veith of Newport, returned Tuesday from Maysville where he had been on a five days hunt. He had some success but many experiences. Among them was a narrow escape from going to jail at Maysville. Veith was hunting rabbits in a cornfield. Suddenly a shoat jumped from a shock of corn. Veith pulled loose and the shoat dropped. The farmer promptly arrived on the scene and demanded reparation. He said, "Pay $12 or go to jail."

Veith went after his roll. The shoat was donated to the farmer.
