A WOMAN GAOLER

'Miss Hazel Miller, daughter of Sheriff Miller, the only woman gaoler in Alabama, showed her nerve recently when fifteen members of an alleged moonshiners murder ring were placed in the Colbert county gaol. Some of tho desperate characters hnd already been convicted of the murder of Don Stevenson, a prohibition officer, and tho serious wounding of Ed M'Petrrs and Calvin Highfield, two other officers. They ■were guided by Miss Miller while her father and his deputies were scouring the countryside for other members oi the band. With steady hand and, firm tread she made her rounds inside the gaol to see that all was well. No man could have displayed more self-possession. Miss Miller is a student of the State Normal College at Florence, Ala. She says she likes her job as keeper of the ea "I am-not the least bit afraid of any harm while alone with the prisoners, she declares. "I am often called upon at night to make the rounds of the cells alone to see that nil is well while my father is out in the country attending to his duties, but I always manage to keep my nerve.”
