Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This 1904 cartoon by Lee W. Stanley illustrates a purported news story about a man being delivered to prison in Leavenworth for having stolen a suit of clothes. He was, the story claimed, the first person in Kearney County to be convicted of a crime since its founding decades earlier.


Panel 1: a man carrying stolen clothes is apprehended on his way out the door by a sheriff who says "THERE! KETCHED YE!"

Panel 2: the sheriff kicks the prisoner (the thief from the first panel) and says "CONSARN YER ORNEY HIDE!" while transferring him to the custody of a smiling guard. A nearby sign says "TO THE DUNGEON."
