EKSKINE A'D McCI.ELLAN A HE FOUND fll'lLTY m t Following tho conviction of Jim Ersklne and Myrtle McClollnn on the charge of selling a quart of whiskey to John Little, County Attornoy Gibbs filed a complaint against Jossie Park hurst Wodnoftday charging her with porjury. Tho latter was a witness In the case, and in the complaint filed against her It is charged that she tosti- flcil that neither Ersklne nor tho Mc Clollan woman sold Llttlo tho whis key, but that It was sold to hint by n man who occupied one of tho rooms nt Madison rooming houso; that the man camo out of his room, handed Llttlo a quart bottle of .hlskey; that Little placed the bottlo In his overcoat poc ket and without a word passing be tween the two, Little handed the sl rangor two dollars. Tho stranger then roturned to his room. In tho trial or the caso Llttlo testi fied that he went to tho rooming house, engaged a room and asked Ersklno it ho know where, ho, Little, could got somo whiskey. Ersklno replied that ho thought ho did, and went out. In about five minutes tho McClellan woman re turned with a quart bottlo, for which ho paid her two dollars. Ho placed tho bottlo In lifts overcoat pbckefc, whereupon tho McClellan woman sug gested that ho get smaller bottles In ordor no more easily conceal it. Llttlo went down on tho street and secured smaller bottles as suggested. Tills wide discrepancy in tho testi mony of tho two witnesses convinced County Attornoy Glbbs that ono or the other had committed ncrlury with strong evidence that Josslo Park hurust was the guilty one. Tho filing or the complaint followed. ::o:: Iltchcsoii-Ilonhnni Weddlmr.

ASSETS $840,000.00 To Prospective Building & Loan Borrowers; Non-resident Building & Loan Companies arc adver tising the fact that they havo reduced the monthly payments of borrowers to $1.10 per month on each $100.00 borrowed, making the monthly payment the same as the Mutual Build ing & Loan Association of North Platte. They fail to state that of the $1.10 paid to the non-resident company, there is only thirty-five cents credited as a principal payment, the balance seventy-five cents being taken for interest. Of the $1.10 monthly payment to this association on each $100.00 borrowed sixty cents is for interest and fifty cents is credited as a principal payment. This difference in the amount credited the borrower will result in the borrower in the non-resident company be ing compelled to pay not less than $25.00 more on each $100.00 borrowed in order to discharge the debt than they would if they were doing tho business with this Association.
