FOUR BOYS ARRESTED
ON A SERIOUS CHARGE
Floyd Robinson, 16, Geary Hoffman,
18, Ferdinand Shalid, 17, und Clifford
Nelson, 18, were arraigned before
Judge R. R. Dickson last Friday in
Juvenile court, charged with delin
quency.
The judge after questioning the
lads, dismissed the delinquency
charge against Hoffman and Nelson
for the reason that they were over
eighteen years old. He took the case
of the other two boys under advise
ment until the next regular term of
the district court.
A criminal complaint was issued
against Geary Hoffman and Clifford
Nelson charging them with breaking
and entering a dwelling house and car
rying away one gallon of dandelion
wine and twelve Mason fruit jars.
The complaint was signed by John
Shald, who resides in the vicinity of
Stuart, Nebraska, and who claims
that the boys entered his home and ap
propriated the wine and jars during
liis absence on the night of November
18th.
The judge bound the boys over to
the next term of district court under
$500.00 bonds, which was furnished.
