WESLEYANS BEAT
BRANDEIS FIYE
Local Store Quintet Falls Down
Before Fine Teamwork of
Coyotei.
ENDS TWENTY-ONE TO TWELVE
. The J. L. Brandels five lost the state
basket ball championship to Wesleyan
college Monday at the Toung Men'a
fhrlstlan association, 21 to It. The col
legians presented an offense that the lo
cals could not stop. Rave for the be
ginning of the second period. Wesleyan
lead throughout the conflict, their su
perior teamwork keeping them to the
fore. '
Wesleyan started strong, annexing- flvt
points before the department store flip,
pers got in action. A free throw by
Colin and two field goals by Burkenroad
as the period was drawing to a close was
all the locals could amaaa before the
half timo count. The period ended with
the Coyotes In the lead, 1 to B.
in tna restart the Hrandei took a
spurt, shooting two field goals which
placed them In the lead, to 7. The lo
cals kept the long end of the score until
the middle of the period when Vifqualn
shot the visitors to the top with a well
executed shot from a difficult angle of
the court. The count at thla period waa
13 to It.
Make Ma Headway.
From then on until the dose, the locals
found It impossible to make headway
against the better seasoned tossera. Wes
leyan renldly Increased Its lead by shots
from Johnson and Anderson.
The locals put up a hard fight, but
could not stem tha accurate shooting of
the visitors.
Kline, who played right forward for
the Coyotes, put up one of the best ex
hibitions of the floor game witnessed on
a local court here thla aeason. Kline
played all over the floor, hia passing and
close jruardfng being one ot tha evening's
features. Captain Johnson of the visitors
also played a star part. Johnson had
little trouble in guarding1 his man and
during tha tilt waa the big drawback to
the locals In busting up teamwork.
For the Incala, I.ea Burkenroad, was tha
chief luminary. Due to his accurate
shooting and free goal shooting, the
Brandels added seven of their twelve

THREE YEARS AND
FINE F0R ROCHO
Former Postal Clerk Plead Guilty
to Embezzlement Indictment Re
turned Twelve Years Ago.
STOLE MONEY ORDER FUNDS
"You might as well jump Into the
river and end your life It you can't
life up to the requirements ot so
ciety," Federal Judge T. C. Munger
told George W. Kocho, former
Omaha postal clerk, when the jurist
pronounced sentence upon the pris
oner, after the latter had pleaded
guilty, to embezzlement ot postoffice
money order .funds.
A three-year term in the federal
penitentiary at ' Fort Ieavenworth
and a fine, of $577.20 was the
sentence imposed upon Rocho. He
entered his plea of guilty to a fed
eral grand jury indictment, returned
twelve years ago..
Since the crime waa committed, Rocho
waa a fugitive until recently, when he
was arrested In the west. Besides a
wife and four children In Omaha, he also
ha. two other wives, whom he acquired
under the name of Orayson at Loveland,
Colo.,- and Fresno, Cal.. while dodging
government marshals and inspectors. It
la expected that when his federal prison
term expires, he will be sought by state
authorities on charge, of bigamy.
His first wife was at nls side In court
Thursday when ha was sentenced, and
she said she had forgiven Rocho and
would seek to "square up" her husband's
other matrimonial ventures and also get
him pardoned from prison.
Loan Sharks and Cards,
"Loan shark, and carda were my
downfall," be explained to Judge Mun
ger before being sentenced,
"Well, your future rests, entirely with
yourself." the judge replied, and added
that unless the prisoner could live right
after getting- out ot prison, ha might aa
well Jump into the river.
Judge Munger Ignored a recommenda
tion by I'nlted States District Attorney
Tom Allen that Rocho lie let off with a
two-year sentence. The' man escaped
from official, in 1911 at Denver, while
having a hearing before a federal com
missioner, after his first capture. He Is
being closely guarded now and will be
handcuffed to a guard while being re
moved to priaon. v, ,
Young Man Has New
Excuse for Staying
Out AUOne Night
A "prosperous middle-aged man walked
Into the health office and addressed
Health Commissioner Connell In this
manner:
"Did you .end a young man to a hotel
last evening with Instructions to remain
there until It waa determined whether
he had scsrlet fever?"
"We had n- such case aa the one you
describe. Here are my assistant, and
they will confirm that for you. We
would not send a man to a hotel If we
thought he might have scarlet fever.
There', nothing to it. What seems to
be the trouble?" replied the health com
missioner.
"Well, tha worst thing the young man
did was to marry my dauahter. He waa
out last night and this morning he said
ha had been detained by the health
authoritlea because he was suspected of
having scarlet fever. I believe I can
see through it," said the father-in-li

Would Make Trouble

Sam's malls sre held was well illustra
ted In the case of a woman who called
up Postmaster Wharton Friday morning.
"My husband works for the govern
ment and he has some franked envel
opes," she sstd. "Today I wrote a let
ter and, finding no other envelopes In
the house I took one of his franked en
velopes and gave my little boy money to
take the letter to the drug store to buy a
stamp and put It on. t
He lost the letter on the wsy and
I'm afraid some one will pick It up and
put It In a mall box and then ' 1 II he
liable to be fined and imprisoned for
using a franked envelope for personal
