SEVEN And HALFYEARS, FORD
Sentence Imposed BY Judge TrOup on
Another South Omaha Highwayman.
lLL-HEALTH SAVES HIM FROM LIMIT
Standing Between Two Crutches Ford
Listens TO His Doom and
Timely words from the
Court.

Michael Ford, convicted OF an attempt to
hold up the saloon OF Leo Roemer in South
Omaha December II, was sentenced to
seven and a half years in the penitentiary
Saturday afternoon by Judge Troup. In
passing sentence Judge Troup told Ford
he would have given him the full penalty,
which is fifteen years, II 1t were not for
the bad condition of his health.
Ford stood before Judge Troup TO receive
sentence propped up between two crutches
His left ankle, which he sprained In an at
tempt to escape from jail is still too weak
for him to use. lie spoke very briefly
when asked by the court why sentence
should not be passed upon him. w. w.
Dodge, his attorney, asked for the mini
mum sentence of two years, as Ford's
health was very poor and he might not
survive even the short sentence He also
referred to the fact that James p. Maher,
FoTd's accomplish was convicted OF plain
assault, the maximum penalty for which
is ninety days in the county jail.
Judges Timely words.
AT this time" said Judge Troup in pass
ing sentence, amy man can earn a good
living or even a liberal competence IL he
wants to work. Labor is in great demand.
In the face OF this when men will hold up
their fellowmen at the point of a deadly
weapon and compel them to give UP the
competence they have rightly earned there
is call for all good men to do what they
can to put down these conditions. You and
your companions have brought the name
of Nebraska into dsrepute II it were not
for the state Of your health l would give
you the limit. / hope when you come out
Of the penltentiary you will be better in
health and morals and will come back and
lead an honorable life"
Before the sentence was imposed a mo-
ton for a new trial was argued and over
ruled by Judge Troup. Attorney Dodge
made hard effort to secure a new trial
on fairgrounds the defense had been forced
into trial without time for preparation and
that new evidence had been secured. Judge
Troup said he did not think the defense
could have been improved upon and that
the new evidence was not SUFFICIENT to war

Some day some poet Of sufficient cal

of the "one-night stand" Meanwhile
that poem is recited by all great hearts
who have to travel that route in order
to I'LL in between the longer dates. Yet
IL a thing has it's hardships, it has. too.
it's humorous side. although it comes
only too rarely TO the surface.
During Miss Shannon's co-starrtnS
tour with Herbert Kelley in sherlock
Holmes" they made a tour of the Pa
cific Coast. playing a great number Of
one-night stands with flattering finan-
cial return, though with considerable
wear and tear upon their nerves. So
many places were visited that even
those members Of the company who
had rctentive memories become con-
fused as to the precise city in which
'they were playing.
Mr.. Kelley, who was scoring a great
success i'm the part made famous by
Mr. Gillette. was one of the most for
getful. and after n time became quite
befuddled, though he tried his best to

Contestants will renew their race for
subscriptions this morning with much
spirit and earnest determination. The
renewal Of the offer of 1000 extra votes
for each bunch of six new subscrip-
tons has given them just the stimulus
they needed to gladden. their hearts
and speed them cheerfully on in the
fast finish of the race. Even those in
the lower ranks feel confident that they
yet have a splendid chance of coming
in strong on the home stretch and
capturing one Of the seven free schol-
arships or educational trips. But even
if they fall short of this valuable list,
they will have made fair salary for
the time spent in actual work out Of
commissions paid on all subscriptions
secured by them.
Though the ground has been thor
oughly covered by these hustlers. there
are always new subscriptions to be
picked up if one has the knack of
knowing how and where to get them.
And i'm this these boys and girls are be-
coming adopts. They have developed
wonderful ability along this line and
most any professional solicitor" could
easily get a few pointers from them
in manners and methods. Consider
ing all this, together with the number
of these hustlers in the field, it is likely
that the results of this week will even
be greater than any during the contest.
They are all bright honest. determined
boys and girls. and know the best
Iustlers. the ones who secure the most
subscriptions. will be the ones to whom
the prizes will go.
