the roads should be narrowed. He 1
felt there was land going to waste
that should be growing corn. Now
some self-appointed "watershed”
and conservation experts pro
pose widening the roads. Should
another rod on each side be add
ed to the public highways it
would mean appropriating four
acres to the mile from land along
the roads. Maybe the owners of
the land would have something to
say about such a proposal. In ev
ery period of Nebraska history
there have been those who would
have moved the stars out of their
course, but haven’t we become of
age and so let well enough alone?
It will be admitted that all too
many are on the highways who
need more room, but does the
remedy lie in widening the roads
or going back to the source?

After deliberating 80 hours a
jury in district court returned a
verdict of "not guilty,” thus dis
charging from legal custody a
Holt county citizen charged with
rape. The same jury released BUI
Robinson on a charge of violating
game laws; he had 89 prairie
chickens when apprehended. He
was rearrested 10 minutes after
the verdict was read by a game
warden and taken to Omaha for |
trial, fined $100 and his bag of
chickens confiscated. All that was j
47 years ago when there was
something doing most of the time
at the courthouse up on the hill.
It takes a Lancaster county jury
