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.

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.
