WILLIAM FLEGE
OUT ON BAIL
Is Now at Liberty on S25, 900
Bond

The Sioux City Tribune Of Tuesday
evening has the following to say:
William Flege, serving life sem
tence for the murder of his sister,
Louisa, In Dixon county, Was released
today by the supreme court from the
penitentiary on a 1926, 600 bond fur
nished by Fred and Henry Flege, his
brothers, and Herman Freevert, his
brOther-in-law.
The admission OF Fege To bail was
vigorously opposed by County Attorney
Kingsbury, who said that he felt GER
tain that If Flege we're allowed to re-
turn home the people there, who feel
strongly about the matter, would re-
gard il as a partial fulfillment of his
boast that his money would free him
and IN 1t a lynching would follow. He
said that fears we're also entertained
that Flege would kill Albert Etchten-
camp, the boy who accused him and
mis- former sweetheart. Miss Hendricks.
who had repudiated him after his ar
rest. Flege's attorney, former Con-
gresham Mccarthy, declared that
these fears were idle and said he was
willing to pledge his money and proper
ty that no one would raise hand
against Fiege. nor would he harm any
one
TIE court consulted but few
mEuutes before reaching a conclusion
Es ms iEvarisbly fixed bail for ali per-
sons convicted OF second degree muir
der, ard as Flsge had made no trouble
and 90 demonstration was made against
him when he was out on bail before
conviction, no exception was made in
this case. Nebraska Journal.

CENTERYILLE WINS
IN CONTEST
RAY NELSON GETS GOLD
MEDAL AT DECLAMATORY
CONTEST
VermiiIiOH Young Lady BY
Small Percent is Awarded
Silver Prize

The First District Declsmatory
League contest was held at the opera
house last Friday evening. The con-
testants were Miss Hattie Halsey OF
Parker, Miss Beulah Engman OF Yer
million aud Mr.. Ray Nelson of Center.
Vile.
Mr.. Nelson won first place with the
solid gold medal and Miss Engman won
second place with the solid silver
medal. The contest for second place
was exceedingly close there being only
one-third OF one per cent. between the
judges grades for Miss Engman and
Miss Halsey.
Mr.. Nelson gave, "How the LaRue
Stakes Were Lost: Miss Engman's de-
clamatiOn was entitled, Jean Val
JEAN" and Miss Halsey rendered,
Liberty or DEATH" from Patrick
Henry.
Miss Halsey has an exceptionaliy
good voice, one which, without effort,
carries well and would easily fill a
much larger hall Many expressed the
thought that her voice should by ali
means have special training.
M. Nelson's impersonation OF he
little English boy with his talk about
the losses, was excellent.
Miss Engman's gestures were
especially worth mentioning.
Mr. Nelson will represent this Dis.
trict at Vermillion, Friday, Nav 10
where he will compete for State Cham
piOnship honors.
