“NOT GUILTY" SAYS JURY
IN TWO AUTOMOBILE CASES
The case of Horace Henefin, charg
ed with purchasing an auto which he
knew to have been stolen was tried
in district court in O'Neill last week
before Judge Robert R. Dickson. The
case was begun Wednesday and con
tinued until Thursday afternoon. The
jury came in at the opening of court
Friday morning and returned a ver
dict of “not guilty.” Henefin was
charged with purchasing one of these
cars which was purported to have
been stolen, and giving in part pay
ment for the same twelve gallons of
“shine.” This Mr. Henefin sttoutly
denied avering that he had never
manufactured any liquor, had never
operated a still, and had never drank
any liquor or had allowed any liquor
to be kept upon the place. Orlow
Calweil and Gus Hagenstein, of Spen
cer, were witnesses for the state
against Henefin. Charles Matson, of
j Lincoln, assisted County Attorney
Julius D. Cronin in the prosecution.
The case of Mathew Hynes, charged
with having purchased a car which he
knew to have been stolen at the time
of the purchase came before the dis
trict court Friday morning. The case
lasted until Saturday evening when
the jury retired. About ten o’clock
the jury returned a verdict in open
court of “not guilty.” According to
the evidence in the case, Hynes made
a confession to the state men at
Spencer, admitting his guilt, and
three or four days later he returned
to Spencer with his wife and while
there signed the statements which he
had previously made to a stenog
rapher. Mr. Hynes denied that he
voluntarily made the statement and
claimed that he signed it under
threats and after he had been admin
istered the “third degree” by several
of the state law emforcement officers.
Hynes denied having any knowledge
that the cars were “hot” when he
purchased them and that no one had
told him that they were stolen cars.
Many witnesses were examined on
both sides and the case attracted con
siderable attention and allured spec
tators from all parts of the county.
County Attorney Julius D. Cronin as
sisted by Charles Matson prosecuted
the case. J. J. Harrington was at

HEAVY FAT CATTLE
BRING BIG RETURNS
That there is still some money in
feeding cattle was proven the first of
the week when Herb Jensen, Frank
Murray and Henry Cook each sold a
car of fat cattle to Henry Schinstock,
of West Point, Nebraska, who was
buying for a Chicago firm.
Herb Jensen sold twenty head of
high grade Angus cattle to Mr. Schin
stock last Monday for a lump sum of
$150.00 per head. The cattle were
purchased of John Carr and placed in
the feed lot on October 15th at $84.00
per head, and averaged 1,200 pounds
each. Mr. Jensen estimates the
weight at 1,500 at the time of sale.
The cattle consumed 1,200 bushels of
corn during the 120 feed days and
the profit of $66.00 per head which
Mr. Jensen realized on the sale gives
him about $1.10 per bushel for his
corn.
John Murray sold and delivered
twenty-three head of Shorthorn cat
tle to Mr. Schinstock on Tuesday.
These catttle were sold by weight at
$10.00 per hundred, and brought an
average of $145.00 per head. Mr.
Murray put the cattle on feed about
the 15th of October at a cost of
$72,50 per head. These cattle were fed
for about 120 days.
Henry Cook also sold and delivered
twenty head of fat cattle to Mr. Schin
stock at $10.00 per hundred that
averaged 1,370. Mr. Cook fed his
cattle about the same length of time
ps Mr. Jensen and Mr. Murray.

in the integrity of the horse family.
Wallace has a quiet, gentle old saddle
horse that has never shown symptoms
of overstepping the bounds of propi

that he would run things to suit him
self for the evening and when Wal
lace appeared upon the scene late that
evening the family nag proceeded to
start the celebration by landing
squarely upon each of Wallace’s legs
in the vieinity of the knee. The calks
on the shoes sank into the flesh caus
ing severe wounds. Wallace does
not limp for the reason that one leg
is as sore as the other.
No doubt people often wonder how
Nebraska’s congressional representa
tives measure up to their responsibli
ties and how they compare with other
public men in Washington. It is in
teresting therefore to know, particu
larly in these stirring times, how the
Dean of the Nebraska delegation,
Senator George W. Norris, is regard
ed by his colleagues in the United
States Senate. In the course of some
remarks made in the Senate a few
days ago, Senator Joseph T. Robinson,
of Arkansas, the Democratic leader
in the Senate, paid the following
tribute to Senator Norris. “The
Senator from Nebraska has enjoyed
a long and honorable service in the
Congress of the United States. I
knew him when he was a Member of
the House of Representatives, and I
have known him* as most of you have
known him, throughout his career as
United States Senator. I make the
declaration that for courage, sincerity
of conviction, intellectual honesty,
and honest in every sense in which the
term may be applied to individual and
official conduct the Senator from Ne
braska stands preeminent among the
public men of America.”
