FOUR BOYS TO REFORM SCHOOL.

FUN bOfo " NEFOhW oS''OO~'
Guy Storm. q member OF the Nor.
folk boy gang" tried at Chadron, is
free and back In Norfolk. Forest and
Prairie Emery, Vic Little and Chester
Housh have been sentenced again to
the reform school. w. A. Emery, ia.
Their of the two Emery lads, will APP
peal to the supreme court Of the state
from the sentence pronounced at Chad.
ron. This Is the present status OF the
case started against the five Norfolk
boys at Chadron for taking cowboy"
boots from a merchandise car there.
Jury Out Two Days.
The five boys were tried last week
in the district court at Chadron before
O'Neill. The Ave lads were tried at
the same time. The case was tried
before jury. For two days the jury
stood divided among themselves
Then they came in with a verdict
which Mr.. Emery's attorneys do not
think will stand in the higher court
and on which sentence to the reform
school was pronounced. Four boys
were held by the jury to have been
guilty of stealing five pairs of high
top boots of the total value of 500.
Guy Storms was freed because the
other boys gave him the boots he
wore.
The jury at first stood about evenly
divided between acquitting the boys
and finding them guilty Of larceny.
Once during the forty.eight hours they
came in and asked IL the Judge would
merely fine the boys. They evidently
wanted to convict of simple larceny
while the complaint charged burglary.
The jury was informed that the
judges sentences were his own busi-
ness. The jury was also instructed
that pushing car door open, even If
1t was partly open In the first place,
constituted burglary. The jury's ver-
dict, instead of finding the boys guilty
"as charged" or guilty of burglary"
made the statement that they were
guilty of stealing shoes valued at 500.
Stealing or larceny is petty offense.
Burglary can be punished with term
In the penitentiary.
Emery VIII Fight.
Before going to Chadron Mr.. Emery
retained Judge I. Powers of Norfolk.
At Valentine he engaged Captain
Fischer of Chadron and Attorney Nor
rissey of Valentine. Mr.. Emery's law
yers will be in Lincoln this week to
appeal to the supreme court for his
boys. The Emery lads will then be
released on bail and will probably be
home next Friday. Meanwhile. they
are being kept in a leading hotel in
Chadron.
Mr. Emery arrived home from Chad.
ron Sunday evening. With him was
Guy Storm.
Prairie Emery Faints.
After the verdict the boys were Civ.
en- lecture" by Judge Harrington.
The jurist called the lads attention to
the fact that they could be sent to the
penitentiary for as long as ten years
for the act they had committed. These
and other remarks of the Judge so af.
fected little Prairie Emery that he
tainted away as he stood before the
court.
1t is not known whether or not bail
will be given for Chester Housh and
Vic Little or whether the Emery ap.
peal would suspend their sentence. II
is stated, however, that If Mr.. Emery
wins his case all four boys must be
released.

General Diaz OF the insurgent

capital. Since the sweeping defeat
of the. Zelayans at Rama and RaceO
attachments of the rebel army have
been pursuing the troops OF former
President Zelaya that evaded capture
at the time OF the battle. These
remnants OF the dletators troops
will either be driven to the noun
tains or the interior or have been dis
persed and practically nothing re-
mains in the path of Estrada. 1t is
now believed that nothing can pre-
vent the capital falling into his
hands when It is reached by his
forces.

ment in the eastern part of Yuba

d. Farrar, who was general manager
of the Apple Tree mine and superintend-
ent Of the Sunday school His wife
was treasurer of the Sunday school.
Farrar represented that he was backed
by Goldfield capital ans Tor a couple
of months paid all his bills, and every
thing moved smoothly. Two weeks
ago he organized a Sunday school, be-
came its superintendent and his wife
its treasurer. A subscription amount
ing to something like $40 was taken to
buy literature.
Farrar and his wife have disappeared
and with them went the money for the
Sunday school literature and several
miners are without their months pay
and the merchants and hayman and
meatman are also holding bills that
have not been settled. Farrar's where
abouts is not known and an anxious
lot of creditors are, eagerly inquiring
about him. The Sunday school also
would like to have the money so the
necessary literature can be bought.
