NEW COUNTY
JAIL TO BE
BUILT W
County Commissioners Award the
Contract to L. G. Larson for
Construction of Building.
From "Wednesday's Daily.
Soon will the long-looked-for
and badly needed county jail be
a thing of reality instead of a
dream of the future, as the coun
ty commissioners yesterday aft
ernoon, let the contract for the
erection of the building, which
will be built on the lots just
north of the court house build
ins in this city.
There were a large number of
bidders for the job, and when the
bids were inspected by the 'com
missioners it was found that L.
. Larson, the contractor, of this
city, was the lowest bidder on
the building- proper, his figures
being- i),350, while on the heating-,
plumbing', wiring and gas
litting- John Uauer secured the
contract for the sum of $1,372.05.
The work on the building- will be
started in all probability in a few
weeks and it will require several
months to complete the struct
ure. The building- will be a two
story structure and the plans for
the jail have been drawn by Joe
fSuth of Omaha, who is also the
architect of the new F.Iks club
house in this city, and it will be a
very handsome building when
completed and one that will
house safely the prisoners of the
county.
IThe building- will also contain
apartments for the jailor or
sheriff and family, and be equip
ped with both male and female
wards, something- that has been
greatly lacking1, in the old struct
ure that-has done duty as. a jail
where it was impossible to con
fine any women prisoners-on ac
count of the. fact that the proper
accommodations had not been
made fop them. The new jail will
be strictly sanitary .and. modern
in every way and in keeping with
the general practices of civilized
society, in taking care of the
violaters of the law.

0. OSBORN FOR
SELLING "BOOZE"
Great Many Persons on "Hand to
Hear the Evidence in the
Osborn Case.
There was a large number of
persons gathered this morning at
the court room of Justice M.
Archer in the cily hall to hear
the case of Oliver Osborn, who
was charged with having sold
Sandy Andrews a pint of whisky
last Saturday night in his
restaurant, which he has charge
of, and which is located in the
basement of the Hotel Riley in
the rear of the Riley bar. There
were quite a number of witnesses
present in the court, but the state
only summoned two to the stand,
one being James Marousek, the
owner of the diary farm south of
the Cily, where Andrews is em
ployed, and who came to town
Saturday evening, accompanied
by Andrews, arriving on Main
street, shortly after 8 o'clock, so
he testified.
Andrews stated that be had
visited the restaurant under the
Riley and saw Osborn standing in
the bar room on the east of the
restaurant and had asked him for
a pint of whisky, which he had
received and paid for with ISO
cents. On the cross-examination
of the witness he denied having
asked parties later in the eveninz
to purchase him some whisky,
and said he had gone to a dance
at a" place in the south part Of
town.
The defendant, Mr. Osborn, in
testifying, stated that he had
been employed on Saturday last
in working at the saloon in the
Riley and had never saw Andrews
in his place on that night or for
some time previous. lie stated
that at 0 o'clock he, in company
with Clans Speck, the bartender
there, had come down Main street
as the clock in the First National
bank was striking the hour and
was very positive on mis ponn,
as well as on the fact that the
restaurant was locked up at the
closing hour. On cross-examination
the county attorney asked
him to name the time that he left
the saloon on cleaning up on sev
eral nights, but he was unable t
give the exact time, but stated it
was from 8:30 to 0 o'clock.
Mr. Speck was also placed on
thes tand by the defense and
staled that he had not seen An
drews in the saloon or restaurant
at any time on Saturday and gave
in detail to the court the general
arrangements of the saloon and
the rooms back of it, as well as
the different entrances to the
saloon and restaurant. On cross
examination be stated that he
was cleaning the glasses back of
the bar after 8 o'clock, the clos
ing up time, and had failed to
see anyone going past the win
dows and door toward the
restaurant entrance and did not
think Andrews had been there.
The case was rested at noon,
after the arguments of the at
torneys, and the court took the
matter under advisement and
will render a verdict later.
Death of Aged Gentleman.
John Barton, th aged gentle
man at the Masonic Home, who a
few days ago suffered a severe
stroke of paralysis, passed away
this morning at the Home at 4:30,
having never fully regained con
sciousness from the time he was
first stricken. The body was sent

where the funeral will be held
kimororw; Mr. Barton came to
the Home to live in June of last

ers' meetings and bring into the
