Claim Food is Smuggled to the I Co. Prisoners Parties Receiving Bread and Water Sentence Seem to Have Slipped Something Over. From Thursday's Dally Sheriff Bert Reed is busy investi gating a report that has reached him as to the fact that prisoners in the county jail have been able to secure food from outside sources by the means of buckets and ropes that were used to haul the food into the jail through one of the windows and therely cheating the law of the priv ilege of serving the prisoners with bread and water. Sometime ago before the advent of Mr. Reed into office Harry Poisall Jr., was given a sentence in the coun ty court of some ninety days in the county bastile and which carried the added proviso that the Eentcr.cc should include five days on bread and water for this infraction of the liquor law. It was supposed that this part of the sentence was carried out as both Mr. Stewart former sheriff, and Sheriff Reed have been carefully watching to see that the water diet was served as to direction in the case where it has been inEictrd, but it seems that their efforts havf been in vain its fur-as the prisoners are concerned. Residents of the neighborhood of the jail have Just reported that In the very early watches of the morn ing they have seen some one from the jail hauling packages up by means of a rope into the jail and which it is surmised has been the forbidden food for the bread and water sentenced prisoners. Sheriff Reed is busy investigating and will endeavor to see that there is no further violations of this rule by the prisoners if he has. to stand guard over the jail all night or board up the windows. When prisoners are ordered on bread and water that is what they will receire and no deli cacies be allowed to be smuggled intc the jail for the relief of the light diet.

' Sarpy County Sets Fast Pace in Good Roads i Every Town in County Has Graveled Road Leading in and Out of Conimunity. From Friday's Dally At the meeting held here a few days ago relative to the pushing of the graveling of the highway west from this citj" to Louisville the fart wes disclosed that Sarpy county Las one of the Lest systems of hard sur faced roads in the state and that every community is served by pav ed or graveled roads and every town in the county .can be reached over a hard surfaced highway. This is the ideal condition and one that Cans county should strive to follow in making complete the coun ty highway system by the graveling of the roads and which should be started with the carrying out of the Louisville road gravel throuph Platts mouth and Plight Mile Grove pre cincts to connect up with the gravel that Louisville precinct has placed on their roads. The Sarpy people have taken the matter by the horns in the proper shape and by precinct action have made possible the continuous im provement of the roas over their entire county. The first places to push the work were striking ex amples of the benefit of the good roads and the rest of the county were not slow in adopting the rlun. In this county the King of Trails, the "O" street road are already in the way of being completed in their entirety of gravel and the Red Dall highway through Murray, which is also a state road will have a gravel surface and we hope soon, but the other lines of road that are purely county roads will have to be pushed by the county and the residents of the various towns and precincts. The northern part of the county has no surfaced roads with the ex ception cf a small part of the I). L. U. through Greenwood and it would seem that an east and west rraveled road would be a great boon to all of the residents of this section of the oaunty .and serve the residents lu tho vicinity of Plattsmouth, Cedar Creek, and Louisville, with a road that they could travel at all times of the year. Let the residents In this section of the county served by the Louisvillo highway give this matter some real consideration in the next few weeks and prepare to boost the good roads.
