I have just decided that there are some great bonuses to working in a small town. One of the older residents of Gurley just told me a story about why Gurley has no jail.
So, this young man got tired of being locked up every weekend for being drunk, so he took a big chain from the lumbermill, attached it to a freight train and to the little jail building. The jail, of course, went flying down the tracks. A local farmer built a barn out of the remains. And the young man who did the deed was none other than the mayor's son!
Aren't small towns great?
