Old
Schafer Jail
The
Schafer Jail is of native granite stone and concrete
construction. It was completed in 1910, and served McKenzie
County
for
31 years. It was from this jail that Charles Bannon, the confessed
murderer of the six members of the Albert E. Haven family
was
taken by an angry mob and lynched off a bridge 1/2 mile east of the jail on
January 29, 1931.
