The Hoisington Dispatch (Hoisington, KS) Nov 24, 1904 Pg 1 1904

          The Kansas Penitentiaries
   The people of Hoisington will have an 
opportunity on Tuesday night, Nov. 29 to 
witness one of the most unique and entirely
out of the ordinary entertainments ever
given in this city. Manager Ragan has secured, 
after much effort, Prison Guard Patrick C. 
Lavey and his famous "Trip Through Two 
Penitentiaries." The newspapers of Kansas have
been loud in their praise of this prison guard
and his work. Only the other day the Topeka
Capital gave this entertainment the best write-
up of any entertainment ever given there. It is
said that this man Lavey is certainly a wonder
in his way. His audiences are held spellbound
as he takes them through the various departments
of these two great prisons. His description of 
a convict's death and burial leaves an impress-
ion never to be forgotten. The great sceneof
the convicts at work in the coal mine, is true
to life and the sensational truths this man is
telling of this terrible place will startle his
audience. Every father and mother in Hoisington
should bring their sons and daughters to this
great educational entertainment. Tickets will 
be placed on sale Monday morning.
