Schott, C. W. Nation, Oscar O'Bannon, Mrs. Eva AMI lianas, Mrs. Wade Lane and Miss Bonnie Green had gone for an auto ride the evening before and during the evening had enjoyed a campfire rooked lunch at a secluded spot near the city. Completing the lunch the party returned to Alliance and four of the number, Messrs Schott and Nation and Mesdames Lane and Wil liams, went to the Alliance Hotel An . aex for the purpose of enjoying a midnight feed and to later disband, but at this point it also appears that Wade Lane had been watching the party and had furnished the night police with the information neces sary for official Interference. When . Mr. Taylor was admitted to the room and had learned the story of those present he decided to call the assistance of Chief of Police Oscar Reed and went to a telephone and summoned Mr. Heed. Upon the ar rival of the chief it was decided to allow the members of the party to go to their respective homes upon promise of appearance in police ceurt 'the next day, and in accord ance with such decision all left the hotel with the exception of Mrs Williams, who it appears in the tes timony, prepared for the night aiyd retired. About an hour later, Mr. Schott, after knavtng the police at the Drake Hotel oorner beat the bark track and returned to the hotel and to the room "occupied by Mrs. Wil Hams and it was here that the cou ple were found lor the second time aad the occasion of the filing of the more serious charge against Mr. Schott and Mrs. Williams. When arraigned before Judge Tash in an swer to the charge of having com mitted "adultery" both Mr. Schott and Mrs. Williams pleaded "not guilty." Wade Lane,, informant in the case was the first -witness called by the state. Mr. Lane told of having watched the party for some minutes and of having called upon Policeman Taylor for official interference. He ' stated that during a portion or the time he watched the Bcene the lights ia the room had been extinguished. Mr. Taylor's testimony was in sub stance to having found tne iour in the hotel room, apparently enjoying themselves, but in no conatuon which would warrant the occusation f Improper relations and to having iit r.hlef Reed to Ihe scene. Mr. Reed told of finding In the room nnn his arrival. Mr. Schott and Mrs. Williams and of conversing with Mr. Nation on the outside. It appears that while Mr. Taylor was absent from the room for the purpose of calling Mr. Reed Mr. Nation and Mrs. Lane left the same via the window route. He alBO told of in structing those present to go to their respective homeB and to appear be fore the court the following morn isg, Leaving the hotel Mr. Reed ac companied by Taylor and . Schott went to a local cafe and had lunch and the three walked as far as the Drake hotel corner together -when they separated. The first witness for the defense was Mr. Schott, who flatly denied all allegations of improper conduct, lie admitted having been a member of the auto party and to having gone to the hotel, where found by the officer. When asked if he had registered for the room he said he had not, but later when the register was offered In evidence admitted having signed another's name to the also denied having given a fictitious name to Officer Taylor when be claimed to be an oil salesman from Lusk. Wyoming. In explaining his return to the room after told to go ..me by the officers he said that Mrs. Williams, when he left the room was la a very nervous condition and that ha returned to sooth her and upon ftading her in bed he sat in a chair. During the time between his return U the room and prior to the return of Policeman Taylor he said .he lights of the room, with the excep tion of the bathroom lights, were vt. Mrs. Williams, next called, corroborated the story of Mr. Schott la many phases, but claims that when Mr. Schott returned to the 5. after having left with the iScers be fell asleep in the chair Tad if she was soothed It was because if the peacefulness of his "lumber.

State Engineer George E. Johnson Is authority lor the statement that worok on the federal aid roads will likely start during July. At this time there is available of the state and federal aid funds in District M, which Jb composed of Cherry, Dawes, Sheridan and Sioux counties, the wsm of 1543.754.99 and in District L. composed of Boyd, Brown, flolt, Kaya Paha and Rock counties, $47, 194.01. The roads, which are to be built under the supervision of the state engineer and the county rom missioners in the counties through which the highways passes, will he made firm and substantial and the work will be started on the high ways running east and west. The railroads will be followed ia as far an is -possible and will pass through all the railroad towns.,. . -. , , ' In this project 'js jnclwled -tie Chadron to Alliance road the omBe tion of wiiich western Nebraska peo ple have anxiously awaited for sever al years. Mrs. J. "D. Emerick has been 'en joy ing a visit from her mother Mrs. Chambers of Sidney. relations she admitted it required several minutes to make the .answer to the knock at the door by Mr. Tay lor and to later dress and jretare Tor the entrance of the officer. She said that she bad received a divorce from her husuband who is now In France and that she did not at this Lime re ceive an allowance from ltd vrn ment because of his service. Policeman Taylor, when asked te the condition in which he 'nund the defendants upon his return said that he .found Mrs. Williarss disrob ed and that when Mr. Schott emerg ed from the room his shoes were nni tt fastened. Jesse M. Miller of the Alliance Hotel was called to prove the rental of the room for the night, but be cause of liis not having been In the city he was unable to give any facts other that to show by the register that the room was hired to one E. G. Bruce, city. C. W. Nation was call ed, after the noon recess and testi fied to having been with the party or. the auto trip and to having gone to the room for lunch at the invitation of other members of the crowd. He said tha the bad just arrived at the place when Mr. Taylor arrived upon his first visit. County Attorney Bayse In making his plea expressed the belief that the evidence was conclusive that there had been improper relations and that the court could but find the defendants guilty. The opposing counsel. Attorney Eugene Burton, appealed to the sympathy of the court on account of the family of Mr. Schott which Is one of the most high ly respected in the community. Judge Tash In. passing sentence remarked that despite the fact that the dis grace to the family was keenly ap preciated by the court that the case had reached the place where there was no choice but to find Mr. Schott guilty and passed a sentence of six months in the county jail. Ia the case of Mrs. Williams be foit that there waa a possibility that a less serious charge could be made and with the consent of the coMnsel would make the punishment in ac cordance. This the counsel refused and the same dose as given Mr. Schott was administered. The bonds were fixed at $500 each and same were secured for Schottk but later the counsel agreed to a lesser charge against Mrs. Williams and she was fined $25 and costs and given "leave town" order and admonished never to return. Mr. Schott through his attorney has appealed to the district court. The entire affair is an unfortunate one and but again calls to mind the fact that: "Fines are bad, Jail Is Worse; Stay at Home boys. Safety First."

At the city council meeting held on Tuesday night City Attorney Walter Mett was instructed to draft an ordinance establishing storm sewer districts composed of the pav ing district No. 2 and Including Box Butte and Laramie avenue to Tenth street. This action was taken when it appeared by estimates nd sugges tions made by Engineer Grant that the work, unless disposed of at this time would prove more expensive and difficult at a later date. The law In such cases makes it Impossible for a city of the tdze of Alliance to vote more than 115,000 la any one year for storm sewer or kindred Im provements, after the first year in which the amount is limited to $100,000. SroTtn sewers will neces sarily have tt "be Installed through out the district included in the new paving district and that It may be mstsjhle to make the -extension is al- ! ready being petitioned by the resi dent property holders In the district affected H will be necessary for the council to Include this in the storm sewer district now to be disposed of! Mr. Grant estimated that the coat ot this improvement at this time would be about $55.V00; $70,000 If Chey enne street wem included north , te Tenth. The council also decided to at onre take ivp the city manager lilam and spveral applications, which hiivc 'been recent ed will be given consid eration tncpther with rubers which will be made. It was the sense of tne meeting that the scheme should fbe given an early trial and that as soon as the right man could be secured iit would I -put lno practice. Several new sidewalks were ordered in .and bills and claims considered and al lowed. The council again dsscussea the matter of holding over all Aillls not wsseuted by the third sT 'the month iunil those not " acooutpanted by the proper voucher and isi the fu ture this will be the practice. .

SHOWS BIG GAIN CONDITION IMPItOYKD URKATLY IH ItlXti Till: MONTH OVER TIIK ENTIItll STATE Yield Will Add 1 1 1 ,(MN),(MM lo Wealth of Commonwealth, Pig utvpt Agricultural Secretary. According to the crop repjrt Is sued May 1st, from the office of the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture the condition of the winter wheat crop In Box Butte county Is 110 per cent; rye the same and hay 112 per cent. The estimated acreage of wheat la 8,284 acres. Sheridan county is accerdited with a 100 per cent wheat crop, as are Dawes, Sioux LAnd Cherry countlese. Western Ne braska, in this respect, Is far ahead of the east end of the state, where In some places it is claimed It will be necessary because of the heavy rains and the beaten down wheat to mow the crop befere any material growth can be hoped for. A perusal of the report reveals much valuable infor mation for the farmer of this section of the state and In the same we find that Winter wheat Improved during1 the past month and present chances for a record production are excellent The condition of 1Q1 per cent com pared to 97 per cent last month In dicates a production of 70,700,000 bushels, which is more than twice the production last year. At $2.00 a Vishel this will add $141,400,000 to the wealth of Nebraska farmers This Is the latest estimate of A. E Anderson of the tiereau of Crop Estimates and E. It. Danlelson, Sec retary of the Nebraska Board of Ag rlculture. The abandonment la practically negligible this yesr.

The condition of rye is 102 jter cent which indicates a production of 7,127,000 bushels, The condition Of rye for the United States is 95.3 per cent. " . :ie pre' niinary ciunfat? 3il tame hay is 1.769. "00 acres. The In crease in acreage Is due largely to the ever increasing acreage of alfal fa. This places Nebraska nearly first in the acreage of alfalfa,' having prob ably a slightly lower average than Kansas. The possible harvest of wild hay may be 2,717.000 acres. This may vary considerable according to conditions. The present condition ef all hay Is excellent. Alfalfa espe cially Is farther advanced than usual for this date. Only per cent of last year's crop of all hay remains on f alius compared to 13 per c.ent a year ago. The condition of pastures is very good. About 05 per cent of the plowing for spring planting was completed May 1. It was delayed by continued rains, a Approximately 4 0 per cent of the spring planting and sowing was done by May 1. The seeding of oats and spring wheat was delayed by numerous rains. The mortality of livestock for the last year was about the average, ex cept in the case of swine where it was lower. The past winter was very favorable for livestock. Shortage of feed reduced the vitality of stock In some sections of the state. The general health of all live stock has been good. Attorney Earl Meyer made a trip to Harrison Monday on legal busi ness. Orleans In June, with R. C. Strong as alterntae. J. Oren Gould, pastor of the Alli ance Baptist church, was appointed asa chaplain for the Post. He will preach a sermon soon for the mem bers of Post M, who will attend the services In a body.
