John J. Riordan. John Landis and
"Wayne Reddington were found guilty!
tty Judge lash in county court at a
Shearing held at 9 a. m. Thursday, and
fines of $lri apiece and co.-ts were as
sessed against them. The charge was
gambling with dice. The place speci
fied in the complaint was the old Her
man slaughter house, a mile and a
half southeast of Alliance, not far
from the Antioch road. William Ki.i
kis, also named in the information and
complaint, was held not guilty by the
.judge and the charge against him dis
missed. Appeal will be taken to the
district court, the bond being fixed at
the minimum amount, $50.
.The men were convicted on the tes
timony of two children, Victor Goa
tiom, aged thirteen, and Richard
-Knott, twelve, who were playing at
the (slaughter house Sunday afternoon
Jast and told the court a straightfor
ward story of what they had seen.
The defense, through Attorney Wil
liam Mitchell, tried hard to confuse
the small witnesses, but the boys
ftuck to their stories.
The first witness called by County
Attorney Basye was George Stafford,
taxi driver, who said that about 2
-o'clock Sunday afternoon he had been
hired to drive the four men to the
slaughter house. They told him to
return for them at 4:30, and borrowed
from his automobile a lap robe. He
saw no gambling, no dice and no
money save his fare, but met Chief
Jeffers and Sheriff Miller when he re
turned to take them to the city.
Chief Jeffers Testifies
Chief JelTers testified that he first
saw the four men Sunday about 2
o'clock near King's Corner. Later he
saw them at the slaughter house, hav
ing apparently done a little detective
vork in the interim. In company with
Sheriff Miller, he met four boys who
said they had seen crap-shooting go
ing on. When he arrived at the
slaughter house, he said, Mr. Kiski
Tvas apart from the other three, look
ing into one of the windows. The
other three were east of the building,
in the Fhade, sitting on the lap-robe.
One of the men had something in his
hand, but he couldn't discern just
-what. He thought it was dice. He
saw no gambling or money.
The four boys mentioned by the
chief were in court, but only two of
them were called to testify. Victor
Bostrom said he lived on East Third
street. There was some little ques
tion as to whether he knew the nature
of an oath, and after a considerable
amount of discussion and examination
by both attorneys and the court, his
testimony was admitted. He said the
four boys had gone to the slaughter
house about 3 o'clock, and had climbed
jx fence surrounding one of the stock
pens, some five or six yards from
where the men were. They had a
irlass iar. with which they were shak
ing red dice, he said. He declared that
lie saw naner and silver money, and
saw it chance hands. Only three of
the men were playing, ho said, Mr
Kiskis standinir apart. The other
three took turns shaking the glass jar.
Mr. Reardon told them to get off the
fence, he said.
Richard Knott told much the same
story. He included an additional de
tail, saying that the man who told
them to get oil the fence asKeu tnem
if thev had any money. Richard said
lie knew they were gambling, admit
ting that he had never seen gambling
before, but insisting that he had
"heard how it wa3 done."
Roys Stick to Their Story
The attorney for the defense la
bored with the two boys in an effort
to show that they had been coached
by the county attorney as to how they
should testify, but got little satisfac
tion out of the witnesses, who stuck
to their stories with remarkable ten
iicity. The four defendants were tnen pui
on the stand. They denied all the alio
pations of the diminutive witnesses, )
completely and unequivocably, individ-j
ual'y and collectively. According to
their story, Jack Riordan, who is agent
for the Herman slaughter house, had
pone out there to look it over prepar
atory to framing a talk th.-.t would
sell it. Ho invited the others to yo
nlong. Mr. Ki.-kis srid that he had
to go work at 4:0 and the prospect
of getting a little fresh air .appealed to
him. The robe, they all said, was bor
rowed so they could recline in the
fhade and rest for a while. They Cd
rest, it scorns on the shady side of the
l.uild'iig. dragging the lench over into
the shade fiom time to time at the
sun froeed them to move.
All of the defendant testified that
the boys were sitting on the fence on
the other side of the stock yards, the
estimate of th distance they were
away varying from fifty to two hund
red and fifty yards. Mr. Kiskis, it
was testified, was standing at the w n
iow to liflt down one of the Loys who

was afraid he'd fall. It was denied
that any of them had asked the boys if
they had any money. Mr. Riordan
said he told them to get down off the
fense because he didn't think they had
uny right there.
There was no argument by attor
neys. Judge Tash, in assessing the
penalty, said he was convinced they
had been having a private game. The
court declared that it wasn't such a
heinous offense against the peace and
dignity of the state. He remarked
that if there had been a case of en
ticing an innocent or ignorant stranger
into the game ami fleecing him, the
penalty would be the limit. As it was.

Alliance Land Office
. Receiving Inquiries
About Land Drawing
Judge H. H. Hewitt, register and
receiver of the Alliance land office, has
been receiving a number of inquiries
fiom ex-soldiers concerning the irri
gated land drawing to be held at Tor
rington, Wyo., on September 6 to 9. at
which time over two hundred irrigated!
farms will be thrown open to home
stead and water right entry.
Most of the inquiries concent the
question of whether it is necessary for
the ex-soldiers to view the land be
fore filing on it. The homestead laws
require this formality, but some of the
Wyoming newspapers are saying that
it is not necessary. Judge Hewitt ey
plains the matter in this way: It is
not necessary to view the land before
filing on a water right and for these
irrigated lands, the water right carries
the right of homestead entry with it.
Filing may be made on the watur
right, after which the drawing will
take place. The men who are success
ful in securing a water right must
then view the land before making
homestead entry, and will have seven
days in which to do so and complete
filing.
Blanks for homestead entry are on
hand at Alliance, but water right filing
blanks must be secured from Torring
tc n.
The departmental instructions under
the Act of Congress which provided
that ex-service men in the world war
sh6uld have sixty days preference
right of entry on lands opened for set
tlement required the ex-service man to
file a copy of his discharge with his
application for the land. The United
States land office here has just de
ceived a telegram from the Washing
ton office as follows:
The requirement that an ex-service
man shall execute affidavit showing
his qualifications in manner and form
required in the instructions is manda
tory but the further requirement that
he attach to his application copy of his
honorable hischarge is directory only
and where such discharge has been lost
or destroyed the soldier may properly
account therefor by affidavit
No Special Observance
of Labor Day by the
Various Alliance Unions
Contrary to the u.-ual custo'n, the
Alliance labor unions will oot i bserve
Luhor day with a parade nl projrrm.
According to word cent to Scif.ar
Frank M. Coffey cf the NV-br i ka state
federation of labor at Lincoln, fome
sort of a celebration is planned by this
city, but if this report is true, di.ts.Ils
have not been made public. As a rule,
the union men observe Labor day by
taking a holiday. The parade has
been one of the big features in other
celebrations, but it is believed this will
be dispensed with this year.
However, those who desire to cele
brate the holiday will have an oppor
tunity for entertainment in the Fair
view round-up, put on by the live-wire
men of the Fairview church neighbor
hood. An elaborate program of t-ports
has been arranged, and a large attend
ance from this city is expected.
The Aliance Odd Fellows and their
wives are planning a Labor day picnic
at the Purington. grove, near Alliance,
and a special program of sports bus
been arranged.
Alliance Firemen Will

JOHN MOXON IS
BADLY BURNED
BY GASOLINE
ANOTHER CASE OF CARELESS
DISPOSAL OF MATCH.
Careless Bystander Tosses Burning
Match on Bench Near Bucket
of High-Test Gasoline.
John Moxon, employed by the
Schafer Auto Supply company, suffer
ed severe burns on both hands and
arms about l o'clock Thursday morn
ing, when a bystander, in lighting a
cigarette, tossed the match, still burn
ing, on to a work bench near an open
bucket of high-test gasoline.
Young Moxon was engaged in clean
ing up some electrical apparatus, and
was washing it in the gasoline. A
friend dropped in and remained to
look at the work. After he had
touched a match to his cigarette he
thoughtlessly tossed it away. It fell
several inches away from the gasoline,
but the gas ignited instantly, and en
veloped him in the flames. His cloth
ing did not catch fire, but the palm
and fingers of his right hand, and his
left wrist and hand were badly burned.
The men in the shop had the flames
under control quickly, and Moxon was
taken to the Slagle clinic, where his
wounds were dressed. He will be un
able to work for two or three weeks, it
is said.
Drs.Blak and Morris
Address Meeting of
Physicians and Surgeons
A very interesting meeting of the
local physicians and surgeons took
place last night at St. Joseph hospital,
following a banquet given by the uls
ters. Dr. Edgar Cowles of Lakeside
was also present at the meeting.
The main feature of the evening was
the instructive paper on head-pains,
read by Dr. Einar V. Blak, local eye,
ear, nose and throat specialist. It was
pronounced one of the best medical
papers heard since the staff was or
ganized, and highly recommended by
the other doctors for the deeply scien
tific and original method in which the
difficult subject was handled.. .
"T)r. Minor Morns,' president or the
Box Butte county medical society,
presented to the doctors an intricate
medical case. Much interest was
taken in the patient by all the doctors
and much information was gained re
garding the true condition of the pa
tient and the best method of treat
ment. It is expected that such group
consu'tation will henceforth be a regu
lar occurrence at all the monthly
meetings.
Evey effort is being made to bring
about a district meeting of the medi
cal men of western Nebraska to be
held in this city next month. Men
fi-om Rochester, Minn., and New York
city are expected to be present as
speakers on tht3 occasion.
G-P-C Highway Meeting
Held at Holyoke, Col,
On Thursday Evening
TV-Hdent den Miller of the Alli
ance chamber of commerce received a
trie phone invitation two or three nays
uku f-om the secretary of the G-P-C
highway association ut Holyoke, Co!.,
a.-lking that this city send delegates to
a nveting to be held in that city
Thursday evening. Broadwater sent a
delegation to the meeting, but Alliance
was not represented. The secretary
fT"t a tr fle hird-brtilryl in his talk with
.Mr. Miller, among other things sug-1
gesting that if Alliunce did not come
out openly and support that route
above all others, an attempt might be
made to run a road north from O.-h-ko.-h,
mis-sing Broadwater and Alli
ance. Mr. Miller pointed out to the
belligerent gentleman that Alliance
was sincere in her )o.ation of neutral
ity, and that if he succeeded in build
ing a road along the route he had in
mind, he'd be the tenth wonder of the
world, as no ons else has ever been
ambitious enough to attempt it.
The Morrill county commissioners
are to meet on September at which
time it is hoped that pome decision w'll
Ih ai rived at. Alliance will be repre
sented at the meeting by W. E.
Spencer, vice president of the T.'oith
Star route from Po Butte county.
An interesting oidc.light on the roa.l
situation is found in a iwtxe set by
the 15 lyard Lions cK.b to sevcrul Alli
ance l ions, of a meeting whi: h was
held there la.,t ni'ht for the purpi .. o
of teloi'tinij a nmn "to succeed oar

MAKES TROUBLE
FOR THE POLICE
TENT SHOW FAIR GAME FOR
' YOUTHFUL ROUGHNECKS
Chirf Je(frs Announces a Change of
Heart and Polky in Pealing
. With Mischievous Lads
I Some of these nights, if little John
ny or William or Frankie fail to come
htme at the usual hour of 1 1 :.'t0, fond
parents are apt to discover that their
offspring are down in the city bastile,
whiting for the cold gray dawn. Chief
Jeffers has announced that while he
isn't warring with kids, some of them
that he knows will have to show a
decided improvement in their behav
ior Iwfore he next meets up with them,
or else a number of candidates for the
woodshed will languish in jail until
their parents ngree to initiate them.
The chief's attitude and frame of
mind are due to the occurrences of
Wednesday evening. It was a peace
ful night, and the chief was taking in
thj tent show. The play was going
along owimminsrly, the villain was
gloating over the hero and the hero
ine, when there was a commotion out
side. The chief investigated, and
found the spotter for the show was
combatting eighteen or twenty hood
lums w ho were attempting to gain en
trance to. the show by the time-honored
custom of crawling benouth the
ci-nvas. The chief assisted in dispers
ing them. A few pleasant minutes
passed. Tho villain was now at the
mercy of the heroine ami everything
was going well. It looked as though
the play might yet end happily. The
show's watchman hunted him up.
He found the same gang of little
rouuhnecks aged anywhere from ten
to fifteen years were in the act of
ovei turning the automobile belonging
to Councilman J. B, Irwin. The car
waa rescued, and tjie band again dis
persed. The chief saw the rest of the
show.
An hour or two later he received a
hurry-up call. from a resident up on
Laramie, who declared that a gang of
hoodlums were perilously close to set
tieg fire to some building in his neigh
borhood. The chief and Night Watch
St dwell investigated. And for the next
bor-ffcling in state in the car of a
vexed householder eommandered for
the occasion, Chief Jeffers run down
the offenders. The culprits were cap
tured in gangs of two or three, given
a ride, scared a trifle, lectured and
iturned loose with a warning.
But the next time a gang of hood
lums undertake to make night hide
ous by annoying anyone, the chief will
use different tactics, he says. From
now on, he's going to quit the lecture
platform and will use other means to
subdue youthful mischief makers.
Therefore, if son doesn't come home by
his usual late hour, parents are ad
vised to communicate with the police
! station before worrying themselves ill.
It may be that 6on will be trying to
sleep on those cast iron mattresses.
Alliance Youth Returns
From Citizens' Military
Camp at Fort Sneliing
Clement G. Kniest. the only Alliance
youth approved for the first citizens'
military training camp, held for this
arei at Fort Snellins?, Minn., returned
to his home here Thursday morning
after a month'B training ut the camp.
Young Kniest is enthusiastic about
the month's experiences, and about the
only kick of any kind he would make
is the one that soldiers have made
since time immemorial that is, that
p'eaty of time was devoted to drilling.
The program kept the boys busy from
t a. m. until 6 p. m., with another
five hours of rest and recreation be
fore taps at 10 o'clock. The activities
were the same as occupied regulur sol
diers during the period of training,
physical exercises, drilN, hikes, rifle
practice at the range. One of the
hikes lasted four days. Theie were
some six hundred boys at the camp,
ranging in age from sixteen to twenty
four years, the majority of them le
ing around the eighteen mark. The
menu shows the boys were fed exceed
in r!y well.
'lh.eri? were five companies of about
a h jndred and twenty-five in e:. h, ami
in mder thvt the boys should have a
real taste of army life, each company
took turns ut 'k. p." work for the out

County Buys New Style
Koad maintainor From
the Sturgeon Garage
The nrst of the week the Sturgeon
garage received the new Avery road
maintainer, purchased by Rox ltutte
county, nni a number of interested
people have been down to look it over,
nnd there have been expressions of
approval from all of them. The ma
chine is an entirely hew model, and is
known as the "road Inzer . k is in
tended primarily for road maintaining,
nnd not for grading, although, it is as
goou grading equipment as anything
the county now has in its possession.
The road "razer" is most compactly
constructed. It travels under its own
power, having u fifty-flve horsepower
engine, propelled by gasoline and
looking much like the ordinary tractor.
The gusoline consumption averages
less than a gallon per hour, and this,
it in claimed, is much more satisfac
tory than using kerosene. The chief
advantage is the speed at which it w ill
cover the ground, the manufacturers
claiming that it will average four
miles an hour and that it will be os
sible to complete ten miles of road per
day. The cost Is only $1, 700 less
than a good truck CQt!?.
The mnehipjs equipped with three
blade sections, orieulWbliVlK fasWun
ed to clear the ditch alongside the
road, and the thers to throw the dirt
up on the crown. It i said to be much
more efficient as a road maintainer
than the usual drag, inasmuch as it
will fill holes in the road instead of
making thein deeper. There are three
speeds forward and reverse and an in
genious arrangement whereby the
"razer can be turned around in a
space no longer than its length.
A day or two ago, the machine was
taken out on the Chndron road and on
Third street in Alliance for a trial
trip, where it gave a most satisfactory
demonstration. Despite its complexity,
it can be easily handled by one man,
who has control of both engine and
graders from the seat at the rear. The
county is planning the purchase of ad
ditional machines if its Buccess justi
fies the expenditure.
Ranger Cafe Will Add

CLEAN-UP SQUAD
TO START WORK'
HERE MONDAY.
BIG CROWD OF EX-SOLDIERS EX
PECTED TO BE ON HAND.
Hope to Clean l'p All Claim Again!
Government in Five Counties
in Two Days.
The federal "clean-upH squadron
will begin work at the library build
ing in Alliance on Monday, September
5, and in two days hopes to meet every,
ex-service man in Box Butte, Garden,
Cheyenne, the south half of Sheridan
and Grant counties who has a claim
against the government of any nature.
There are eight men in the squadron,
and they are empowered to make ex
animations and pass upon claims with
out delay that has resulted heretofore.
The American Legion and the Red
Cross are co-operating in the work.
Preparations have lieen made in A I-1,
liunce for the filing of at least
hundred claims. There will be fifteen
stenographers and typists, who will
assist in making out claims; Bed Cross
secretaries from Alliance, Sidney,
Chadron, Broken Bow and perhaps
other places, who have lieen trained to
fill out government forms; a notary
public will be on duty all of the tim
to certify the papers. The organisa
tion is such that a big number at
claims can be handled in record tine.
If there are a sufficient number of
claimants on hand, the Bed Cross can
teen workers, who did yeoman service
during the war, will be asked to es
tablish a canteen for the two days.
The squad will go from Alliance to
Scott ibluff. Claimants are asked to
put in an appearance as early as pos
sible, in order that every application
may receive action during the two
days.
Don't Come Empty Handed. '
"Don't come to the squad 'empty
handed" is the plea which comes from
local Bed Croue headquarters. . Work
eis from- that organization together
witlrtlie American Legion are co-oper
ating with the government in this at
tempt to get speedy action for tho
hundreds of ex-service men whoso
claims are in process of adjudication
a weft as to find the isolated cases of
men not informed as to the help they
are entitled to from the government..
Other suggestions from lied Cmms
headquarters to men whose elairra
have not been satisfactorily adjusted
include:
Bring your discharge papers and I'll
communications received from tho
Federal Board and the Bureau of WiUP
Risk. The greater majority of ex-serviqo
men now filing claims for compensar
lion have been discharged from serv
ice for nearly two years. In order to
establish their claims for compensa
tion, additional medical evidence may
be required.
Bring written statements from all
doctors who have treated you sinco
discharge and from' ho.-pitals wbevo.
you were confined (unless these wero
U. S. P. H. S.)
Secure Plenty of Affidavits.
A ..I.. . k.tl.l Iva nponQNil ku
person who know of your disability
uuiing service ami mho nave
with you since your discharge. Affida
vits are also helpful since one or raoro
disinterested jiersons (employers it
possible) who have known you sine
your discharge and are familiar with
your physical disability. In place of
formal affidavits those giving details
of the situation with dates, etc., are cf
great value in aiding officials to
understand your casr..
Any disabled service man desiring;
vocational training, with allowance for
living expenses, must in addition fur
nish a statement from a former om
pioyer giving his occupation previoua
to service with reference as to hia
ability to perform the work together
with a statement as to nis present un
fitness for the work. This statement
should give the nature of present dia
ability and that, according to the em
ployer's opinion, it was incurred in tho
war or is the result of service.
If witnesses accompany ex-soldiera
in person their testimony can be taken
in affidavit form and sworn to beforo
American Legion or Red Cross repre
sentatives with the squad.
When in doubt as to procedure ex
service men are re.juestcj to apply for
information to the nearest Red Cross
chapter or Adjutant of the local Le
gion Post. They will be glad to adviso
and h'1,1 in every po-'sible way to
recjre nil the compensation, training
or hospital treatment to which former
