QUICKLY BROUGHT TO JUSTICE
1
Ernest F Wright the Former Is Now
in the Penitentiary at Lincoln
law sometimes made under similar cir
cumstances
Last week Wednesday he uttered and
passed several forged ciiecKs on the
First National Bank of this city signed
with the nume of C M Bailey travel
ing engineer Saturday ho was captur
ed at Oxford by Sheriff Peterson and
Deputy Sheriff Odborn arriving in this
city on No 1 Saturday afternoon ho
appeared before Justico of the Peace
LelJew for preliminary examination
Pleading guilty ho was bound over to
district court with a bond placed at
1000 for his appearance Judge Orr
being in the city he called a special
term of district court in which Wright
at once appeared and pleaded guilty to
the information of County Actormy
Dodge charging him as above indicat
ed Judge Orr passed sentence upon
him at the sitting of court and on the
following evening Sheriff Peterson ac
companied the prisoner to Lincoln to
enter upon his sentence of live years in
the stato prison at bard labor
Thus closed the incident
The complaining witness in the case
was M L Rishel whose check amount
ed to 199 5 Besides this one five other
checks were passed amounting toS75 CO
These five counts are still held over the
young man for future use if necessary
The sum of S12 on the person of
Wright was levied upon by Sheriff
Peterson the money being used to pay
costs so the couuty was at the smallest
possible expense in the case
Acquired Gordons Pin
Tuesday some strangers went in o
Woodworths drug store ostensibly to
make a purchase Gordon tlartman
was alone in the store at the time In
cidentally one of the two men remarked
that Gordon had a pin just like his
Comparison followed Some other pat
rons came in at this juncture and leav
ing his pin in the han js of the strangers
Gordon went to wait on the others
While ho was thus engaged the
strangers left the store taking Gordons
pui along with them As soon as Mr
Woodworch returned to the store Gor
don started out to find the straugers
and his pin lie succeeded in locating
the straugers buc the pin could not be
found although considerable other
jewelry was found on them Theso
same fellows attempted to sell Mr
Ruby some jewelry the day before at a
ridiculous price It might have been
profitable for the police to have taken
those fellows in on suspicion They
were evidently crooks
