they did not show that the goods had
been taken by Conley, and that the
prices listed did not show the true
market value He also objected to the
slips for goods alleged to have been
taken to the Aylesworth ranch as not
being proper items to be considered.
Judge Horsky asked Attorney Gen
eral Rankin for his theory for intro
ducing the slips representing goods
alleged to have been used at. the
Aylesworth ranch. Judge Horsky
took the attitude that if the state
seeks to recover for the products of
the ranch, it cannot also expect to re-
cover for supplies furnished men who
produce the products.
The attorney general responded by
stating that he did not care to intro
duce the Aylesworth slips at this
time. Mr.. Rankin said, however, that
the state did propose to recover where
it is shown that Conley had taken
profit He also said that the state
would seek to recover wherever it had
been shown there was an illegal con-
tract.
That the slips should be considered
as evidence that Conley had received
prison supplies, Attorney General
Rankin cited authorities, quoting
from similar cases he held that the
warden Of the prison was responsible
for the bookkeeping system. What
ever books or records the warden
turned over TO his successor, whether
they be slips or original books, they
should be considered prison records.

divided into pairs one person carrying
the bait and placing it in the runways,

time with each pair, giving instruc-

required to complete the work, but all
members of the party invariably stay
with the job until it is finished.
In Furnas county the work has
been confined to the alfalfa fields In
the valley lands along three important
streams, the Republican river, and the
Beaver and the Sappa creeks. All last
summer the farmers were constantly
reminded Of the Importance Of the
work, and excellent results were OBJ
tanned from the community field par
ties in the fall. In the campaign $500
acres were covered. Figuring the ad-
vantage to the farmers in being rid of
pocket gophers-as half ton Of alfalfa
per acre, this area would mean 1850
tons, or $4,000 saved.
