My dad, Emmons Adams, was Mayor of Haigler for about three terms, possibly four.
Vagrants often stopped in Haigler for gas or a meal and then moved on down the road. The city of Haigler always saw to it that the people who needed help, got it through the city budget.
One time, my dad encountered a very unruly patron passing through. Dad had to pull a loaded pistol and march this man to the Haigler Jail.
The next day, the town Marshall, I think was Al Williams, proceeded to transport this man to the Benkelman jail or to be assisted by the county Sheriff in this matter. . I think Al got most of the windows in his car kicked out by this unruly patron of the Haigler jail. Anyways, I think that was the last usage of the Haigler jail for our most elite citizens with outstanding citizenship.
I'm only working on memory, the best I remember, folks! A lot of years has gone by and the recall don't work too well!
