omnu VOL. XXXIII. PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1914 NO. 15. NEW COUNTY JAIL TO BE BUILT W County Commissioners Award the Contract to L. G. Larson for Construction of Building. From "Wednesday's Daily. Soon will the long-looked-for and badly needed county jail be a thing of reality instead of a dream of the future, as the coun ty commissioners yesterday aft ernoon, let the contract for the erection of the building, which will be built on the lots just north of the court house build ins in this city. There were a large number of bidders for the job, and when the bids were inspected by the 'com missioners it was found that L. . Larson, the contractor, of this city, was the lowest bidder on the building- proper, his figures being- i),350, while on the heating-, plumbing', wiring and gas litting- John Uauer secured the contract for the sum of $1,372.05. The work on the building- will be started in all probability in a few weeks and it will require several months to complete the struct ure. The building- will be a two story structure and the plans for the jail have been drawn by Joe fSuth of Omaha, who is also the architect of the new F.Iks club house in this city, and it will be a very handsome building when completed and one that will house safely the prisoners of the county. IThe building- will also contain apartments for the jailor or sheriff and family, and be equip ped with both male and female wards, something- that has been greatly lacking1, in the old struct ure that-has done duty as. a jail where it was impossible to con fine any women prisoners-on ac count of the. fact that the proper accommodations had not been made fop them. The new jail will be strictly sanitary .and. modern in every way and in keeping with the general practices of civilized society, in taking care of the violaters of the law.

Archer in the cily hall to hear the case of Oliver Osborn, who was charged with having sold Sandy Andrews a pint of whisky last Saturday night in his restaurant, which he has charge of, and which is located in the basement of the Hotel Riley in the rear of the Riley bar. There were quite a number of witnesses present in the court, but the state only summoned two to the stand, one being James Marousek, the owner of the diary farm south of the Cily, where Andrews is em ployed, and who came to town Saturday evening, accompanied by Andrews, arriving on Main street, shortly after 8 o'clock, so he testified. Andrews stated that be had visited the restaurant under the Riley and saw Osborn standing in the bar room on the east of the restaurant and had asked him for a pint of whisky, which he had received and paid for with ISO cents. On the cross-examination of the witness he denied having asked parties later in the eveninz to purchase him some whisky, and said he had gone to a dance at a" place in the south part Of town. The defendant, Mr. Osborn, in testifying, stated that he had been employed on Saturday last in working at the saloon in the Riley and had never saw Andrews in his place on that night or for some time previous. lie stated that at 0 o'clock he, in company with Clans Speck, the bartender there, had come down Main street as the clock in the First National bank was striking the hour and was very positive on mis ponn, as well as on the fact that the restaurant was locked up at the closing hour. On cross-examination the county attorney asked him to name the time that he left the saloon on cleaning up on sev eral nights, but he was unable t give the exact time, but stated it was from 8:30 to 0 o'clock. Mr. Speck was also placed on thes tand by the defense and staled that he had not seen An drews in the saloon or restaurant at any time on Saturday and gave in detail to the court the general arrangements of the saloon and the rooms back of it, as well as the different entrances to the saloon and restaurant. On cross examination be stated that he was cleaning the glasses back of the bar after 8 o'clock, the clos ing up time, and had failed to see anyone going past the win dows and door toward the restaurant entrance and did not think Andrews had been there. The case was rested at noon, after the arguments of the at torneys, and the court took the matter under advisement and will render a verdict later. Death of Aged Gentleman.
