Wilson Pleads Guilty
Sentenced to Pen.
Perry Wilson appeared before Dis
trict Judge H, M. Grimes Saturday
afternoon and entered a plea of guilty
to the charge of forgery. He was ar
rested several weeks ago for passing
some worthless paper on some of the
merchants of this city and entered a
plea of not guilty before Judge Grant
in the countv court. He was unable to
furnish, bond and has been held in jail
awaiting trial. Upon reconsidorntion he
decided to plead guilty and received an
indeterminate sentence of from one to
twenty years in the penitentiary. The
Judge also gave him some good, sound
advice.
From the records it would, appear
that Wilson has sorved time before. A
man by the same name waa in the
Illinois penitentiary for a term of years.
He is only a young man but has all the
marks of a hardened criminal. Ho at
tempted at one time to dig his way out
of jail and had dug through several
layers of brick before it was discoveid.
After that he was confined in a cell all
tho time. Another time when he was
brought up town he threatened to at
tempt to get away and showed sign3 of
a fight.
His actions also give evidence of
prison experience. He speaks in the
peculiar monotone of u convict and says
his words without moving his lips. He
received his sentence without a word
and walked back to the jail with no
evidence of nervousness.
Hearing on the
Geise Parole.
A Lincoln pager says: Henry Geise,
of Maxwell, who was paroled by Gov
enor Shallenberger, will havo a chance
to return to the penitentiary and serve
ouhis term for burglary, cattle steal
ing,' and for harboring stolen cattle if
the pardon board at its hearing on
April 30 finds that the charges made
against him by some of his neighbors
around where he now lives are true.
Geise was received at the peniten
tiary in 1909 to servo a term of three
years for burglary and cnttle stealing.
When that term should expire he waa
to continue to servo four years more
for harboring stolen cattle. However,
he waa paroled by Governor Shallen
berger and his three year term expired
in 1912. His four-year term would ex
pire July 0, 1916, but the charge is
made that Geise has been stealing
lumber from a neighbor, and if tho
board, which will hear the charge at
Maxwell, finds th? man guilty, he will
be returned to the penitentiary, with
the good behavior allowance lost.
North Platte Highs
Smother Hershey
The North Platte high school base
ball team won from the Hershey nine
Saturday afternoon by a score of 22 to
Q in a seven inning game. Tho local
men played good ball all through tho
game and the Hershey men were unable
to connect up with flu3band's spittcr.
The first two innings wero marked by
good playing on both sides and neither
team scored. The local men then got
started and ran in twenty-two runs in
five innings and the game was then
called on account of the heavy shower.
Hetalioy put in two pitchers in attempt
to stop the avnlnncho but to no avail.
The locals also did very good work in
fielding. Husband and Clabaugh were
batteries for tho local team.
Next Friday afternoon the local men
will meet tho Cozad aggregation on the
local field. This game promises to bo a
close one na Cozad haa been playing
good ball and their is considornble
rivulry between the two teams. -A re
turn game with Hershey will be played
here a week from Saturday.
A case of ejectment was filed yester
day afternoon in tho county court en
titled Christian Sodocott va. Roger O'
Connor nnd Minnie O'Connor. An Island
in tho North Platte river ia involved in
tho suit, tho plantifT claming ownership
and the defendant having possgssiori.
Tho plaintiff nllegeB that tho defen
detita forciblo entered tho premicos in
Juno, 1913 and that ho gave them a
written notice to move out April 12th,
1914 and they had failed to do so. Ho
ask for restitution and cost of the suit.
The case was up once before but was
dropped for tho time being on account
of tho evidence.
