No Idle Formally.

Complaints have been filed by the county
attorney in two cases in which bonds were
given in district court and afterward for

proceeding is something of a novelty in
Douglas county, he is going to push the
suits and thus serve notice that when men

The cases are entitled, State against Sam
Adams, John Goodhart, Ed A. Shaw and
James M mcfarland and State against

released on 500 bond. which he forfeited.
Young was accused of securing money UNI
der false pretenses and forfeited a bond

Several other forfeited bond cases are on
the dockets, which will be taken up as soon
as these are tried and decided, but only
two complaints have thus far been filed.

Dollars In Pockets of Clothes
He stole.

Leon Hewitt pleaded guilty-before Judge
Day to breaking and entering a storehouse
of the Northwestern road and stealing a
satchel containing clothing and money to
the value of $40. Hewitt and a partner
were caught with the grip, and, strange to
say. had not found the sum of $S5 In cur
rency that was concealed among the
clothes.
Attorney Mcfarland made a plea for
Hewitt. laying all his trouble to drink.
The prisoner, who is known as Sleepy
Hewitt about town, comes from good
family the attorney said. but gets into bad
company. On numerous occasions he has
been arrested for petty offenses and makes
the statement that the police throw him
in on the slightest pretext. On the other
hand. the police say they would be glad
to be rid of Hewitt.

aminer Robinson.

County Treasurer Examiners Robinson
and Tulis were in Omaha Thursday night
enroute to Lincoln from Sarpy county,
where they had been to cast up the ae-
counts OF the county treasurer, which they
found to be all right. Mr. Robinson en-
deavored to get to Omaha in time TO talk
to the county commissioners about his idea
OF cutting down the expenses of county
government, but he was too late. Mr.. Rob
inson would do away with nearly all OF the
road supervisors and have just three or
four to be paid salary which would
justify them in looking after the roads the
year around.

would not benefit the city to any great ex-
tent, because the buildings are not en-
