The criminal case of the State against Udey went to the jury last Thursday afternoon at about 4 o’clock and the jury returned a verdict of not guilty about 10 o’clock that night and the defendant was discharged. A jury was then empaneled in the second criminal case of the State vs. Frederick A. Benjamin, ch”. -ged with shooting and injuring some horses -’longing to Patrick Kennedy, a neighbor. The State introduced tes timony tending to show that on the morning the offense was alleged to have occurred, Kennedy was called up over the ’phone by Benjamin and was told his horses were in his corn fodder pile. Kennedy sent his son after them and on driving them dis covered that four of them had been tilled with shot, two of the horses afterwards went blind in one eye as a result of it. Kennedy tracked his horses to the pile of corn fodder and about thirty yards of it, discovered spots of blood in the snow. The de fendant denied having shot at them, and he was corroborated by the tes timony of his wife. The jury re turned a verdict of not guilty. The case of the Lexington National Bank of Lexington, Tennessee vs. Grimes, Brothers and Bogart, was the next case. The defendants, in 1917, were engaged in the mercantile busi ness at Chambers, and a firm styled the Partin Manufacturing Company undertook and agreed to put on a saj£ TdT tltgftt 5ft TffilTftft prISt? to be given away, among them an automobile. The defendant signed six notes of $150.00 each as a con sideration for the Partin people putting on the sales contest. The Partin people failed to send advance agents as they agreed and failed to send the automobile. The Tennessee Bank claims to have purchased the notes in good faith and was there fore an innocent holder. The evi dence was conflicting as to the in dorsement on the notes, and the jury found in favor of the defendant. Court adjourned Saturday afternoon until Monday morning and most of the jurymen had an opportunity to go home for Sunday, returning Monday morning at 10 o’clock. I he first case Monday morning was Gottchalk ^s. Holt County. This case grows out of a claim filed by the plaintiff against the county for labor done on a bridge over Cottonwood gulch, located north of Stuart. There are several claims against the county for labor and material in the con struction of this bridge which have been rejected by the County Board, and they have been consolidated or rather it has been agreed that a de cision in one case may decide all the others. The County Board has em ployed J. J. Harrington to try the case for the county, while Mr. J. A. Donohoe represents the claimant as sisted by J. I). Cronin and I). L. Jou venat. There is a nice law question in this case. Under the law, the County Board is required to advertise for bids for the building of bridges that cost more than five hundred dollars. In this particular instance, no bids were advertised for, and Henry Bausch, then a member of the Board from the district where this bridge is located,, went ahead and built the bridge. When the bridge was completed and the claims filed, the Board discovered they could not legally pay them, so they were all rejected, except a few claims, and they are up in district court for adjustment. — The fact that the board of super visors allowed some of the claims proved to be a Very im portant factor in the case, as the plaintiff claims that this was a ratifi cation of the acts of Supervisor Bausch. This chijm on the part of Judge Dickson, as he instructed the jury that if they found that the Board had allowed some of the claims aris ing out of this transaction, and at the time they did so, they knew Bausch had exceeded his authority, then they should find for the plaintiff. The jury were sent out Wednesday TTOfrttrtg Sttd i returned a verdict after dinner onj Wednesday finding in favor of the! plaintiff and allowed his claim which amounted to $181.30. The case of Decker vs. Udey, a suit over the rent of a farm, was then called and was occupying the attention of the court as we go to press. Court adjourned Wednesday evening until Friday morning to allow the jurors to go home for Thanksgiving. C. B. S. ROYAL THEATRE SOLD. The Royal Theatre has been sold to jj. B.

You ought to come in right away and find out what it can do for you. ;■ i In the first place, it will put a New Edison beside your Christmas tree, (how the family will rejoice!) In the second place, it will stretch your Christmas dollar so that you’ll hardly feel the purchase. The Budget Plan treats the New Edison as an essential of life, such as a home, and arranges payments on the sound “time” principle. It com bines modem business practice with thrift. ' This way of treating a dollar actually makes it go farther. Let us explain how the Budget Plan brings the longed-for New Edison for what an' I extremely ordinary gift would cost,—and makes 1921 thrift pay for the balance. Warner (81 Sons, O’Neill, Nebraska.
