SHERIFFS HAVE EXCITING
TIME AT NORTH PLATTE
Sheriff C. D. Quinton of Cass 1
county was re-elected president and
Sheriff Peter Duffy of Holt county j
secretary-treasurer of the state sher- 1
iff's association for the third con- 1
secutive time, at the state convention 1
of the association held at North
Platte last week. The meeting of the ]
association was one of the best at- i
tended and most interesting of its (
existence and the returning officers I
are loud in their praises of the North t
Platte Chamber of Commerce, Hast- s
ings and Moore, the Platte Valley Land t
company, Red Evans and others re- 1
sponsible for the good time shown 1
them and their thanks are especially j
due to Sheriff Art Salisbury of Lin- f
coin county, master of ceremonies at f
the numeous events. One of the fea- i
tures of the big show and iwhlch for s
a time aroused intense excitement j
among the visiting sheriffs was the c
hold-up and robbery of the Clinton t
Jewelry store of North Platte about t
I
4 o’clock In the afternoon of the last c
day of the meeting. The bandits, t
masked and armed, held up the store, ,
proprietor, clerks and customers and c
escaped toward the famous Cody [
ranch in a large touring car. They [
were pursued by a posse of the visit- j
ing officials and citizens, headed by
Sheriff Salisbury and the owner of the :
store and were captured after having f
abandoned their car near the Cody
ranch. When the bandits were un
masked they were discovered to be
four of the visiting sheriffs and a
North Platte deputy kindly taking
the main parts in the stunt perpared
by Sheriff Salisbury and the propri
etor of the jewelry store. From the
scene of the capture the visitors were
taken to the Cody ranch for a big
feed and a real wild West ar.d broncho
busting stunt under the auspices of
Sheriff Salisbury, A. A. Hastings,
Clarence Moore and “Red” Evans.
Sheriff Evans to show that he still
was in the game roped an escaping
wild broncho at the round-up and
Hastings rode a wild steer. Sheriff
Duffy, it was erroneously stated in
dispatches, was one of the hold-up
men in the jewelry robbery. He how
ever was one of the unsuspecting
posse who thought they were aijrsu
mg real bandits, as (was President
Quinton.

ittend the high school this year, be
iresent on that day, so they may be
iroperly fitted into the work and lose
10 iime. Do so, if at all possible. The
iame applies to pupils in the grades
>elow high school.
The last legislature passed two im
lortant laws that are of interest to
ill school patrons. One changes the
ompulsory attendance lalw from 16
0 18 years. The other changes the
uition for non-resident high school
tudents from $54.00 to $108.00 for ;
he year. Non-residents, entering j
iigh school under the provisions of the
‘‘ree Tuition Law, be sure to bring
our High School Admission Certi- j
cates, as they will be called for the ]
rst day. Remember this certificate j
1 your passport to admission to high j
chool, so be sure to have it ready for
resentation. Parents, having chil
ren of school age, entering school for
he first time, if you think of sending *
hem at all, this year, we urge you to
tart them in at the very beginning,
? possible, even, if they lack a few
ays of the required age. It is better c
or the child to start in with the j
thers, and, in any event, nothing is t
ained by waiting, while much may £
e lost. j
Let’s all start this school year with t
he determination to all 'work to- \
ether, to the end that it may be u I
ear of results accomplished. By j
lachers, pupils and parents all work- i
orking in harmony and cooperation, t
iuch can be accomplished that, other- I
ise, could not be accomplished. r
