HANFORD PRODUCE COMPANY
TO BUILD THIS FALL
Construction of the new creamery
and poultry feeding plant of the Han
ford Produce company long con
templated by the company for
O’Neill, is to begin within the next
several weeks, according to Sioux City
advises. The new building is to be
located on the site between the Bur
lington and Northwestern railroads,
just north of the Northwestern depot,
purchased several years ago. The
new creamery will be one of the
largest and most modern in the state
and the poultry feeding department
to be a part of the structure is one at
first not contemplated. A cold stor
age plant also is to be erected and it
is probable that artificial ice will be
manufactured and sold to the public.
The buildings are expected to be en
closed and under cover before winter,
so that the work of interior finishings
and installation of machinery may be
completed in time for a formal opening
in the spring. The decision of the
company to build at once is made
necessary by the already overcrowded
condition of the Sioux City plant
recently enlarged.

HOLDS U. S. HAS RIGHT
TO SEIZE RUM VESSELS
New York, Aug. 14.—Seizure of
alien craft hovering about the three
mile limit, sureptitiously to land
liquor cargoes, either by themselves
or in co-operation with small rum run
ners, was upheld today by Federal
Judge Woodrough in Brooklyn.
Judge Woodrough, who usually sits
in Omaha, directed a jury to returp a
$20,000 verdict in favor of the gov
ernment against the Detroit Fidelity
and Surety Company in connection
with seizure of the British,, vessel
Marion Mosser on July 27, 1922.
The Marion Mosher case brought
about a special session of President
Harding’s cabinet and an exchange of
conversations with Great Britain.
The United States attorney in his
argument before Judge Woodrough
today said: “It is clear that, irre
spective of the cabinet’s determination
as a matter of diplomatic policy to
release foreign ships having cargoes
of liquor when apprehended outside
the three mile limit, there was ample
legal authority for the seizure and
forfeiture of the Marion Mosher and
her cargo of liquor.”
Judge Woodrough held that seizure
of foreign ships engaged in smug
gling liquor into this country was
justifiable, even though they were on
the high seas.
“When a ship hovers around the
American coast,” he said, “although
three miles from shore, with intent to
violate the laws and is caught in the
attempt to smuggle intoxicating
liquors, and it is shown that it is in
contact with shore, its seizure, thdugh
it be of foreign registry and outside
the three mile limit, is justifiable.”
The federal court decision returned
today may lead eventually to a ruling
by the supreme court as to whether
the old statute known as the hovering
act may properly be invoked in the
enforcement of prohibition. Details on
the Brooklyn case are not known to
officials here, but it is considered en
tirely possible that it may furnish a
vehicle for carrying to the highest
court a question that for some time
has been more or less undetermined in
the minds of prohibition officials. The
hovering act, which was placed in the
statute books many years before the
advent of prohibition was aimed pri
marily at merchandise smugglers.

MOSASAUR UNEARTHED
AT LYNCH
(Spencer Advocate.)
Wm. T. Hall, assistant to the state
geologist, G. H. Barbour, Lincoln, and
representing the state museum, ar
rived in Lynch last Wednesday even
ing to prepare the huge skeleton found
on the, Joe Spencer place for. ship
ment to Lincoln.
He found the bones already un
earthed and in town. H. H. Todd, of
Lynch, went out to the Spencer farm
and with a tile spade dug up the re
mains. Mr. Hall said it usually took
ten daya or more to remove the bones
and prepare them for exhibition. As
it is the specimen has no scientific
value. Had it been left alone until
people experienced could have did the
work, then the specimen would have
been valuable.
The geologist after being notified,
to j Lynch. He said the bones were
those of a pre-historic sea-serpent. The
animal when alive, according to the
geologist, measured more than 26 feet
and was at least three feet in diameter
just behind the shoulders. The antedi
luvian had no feet, but did have pad
dle affairs, two behind the head and
two about midway. The body tapered
to a point at the rear. The vertebrae
numbered 130, some of which have a
horn protruding upward. The teeth
measure about one and one-half inches
long and are sharp. When the jaws
closed the teeth fit between each other
in dove tail manner. Mr. Hall said the
reptile lived entirely on flesh and in
water.
Northern Nebraska, according to
Mr. Hall, is noted for its fossil re
mains. He expects to spend some time
in this part of the state.
The specimen found near Lynch was
called a Mosasaur by Mr. Hall
