Forty years at hard labor, "part of which shall be spent in solitary confine ment" was the sentence imposed Fri day on William Mosher, confessed highway robber, as he stood before Judge J. T. Begley in district court. It was the heaviest sentence ever imposed for a similar offense in Otoe county and is in addition to a four and one-half years' sentence which Mosher had yet to serve for a sim ilar offense committed in Lancaster county. It was to evade this sentence that Mosher escaped from the state reformatory a few weeks ago, pre ceding his "wave of crime" which led to his eventual capture at Lakeville Indiana, six miles from South Bend. Mosher was brought into court at 12:45 p. m. in the custody of Sheriff Where You Save on Every Purchase EE liiniiiiiiinsiHiiiniiiira Senator Hitch cock to Address Happy Hundred Distinguished Nebraskan Secured for Opening Banquet on Next Friday Evening. portion of the program with a real feast that everyone can appreciate and enjoy. A LEGEND ON GOSSIP Frm Saturday's paiiv The date of the first Happy Hun dred banquet of the 1927-2S season has been selected as Friday, Novem ber 11th. and the location of the first banquet will be at the p.irlors of the First Presbyterian church. The committee in charge of the suppers have arranged to hold the first banquet on Friday evening ow ing to the fact that the dates earlier in the week are all taken up and makes it impossible to g' t the supper at the usual time on Tuesday. " Thr.e who have been in charge of the program are very much pleased to have secured former Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock as the speaker of the evening and as it is set for Armistice day, the distinguished Nebraskan should have a real message for th persons who attend the supper. The Presbyterian ladies will pre pare one of their usually fine repasts that will add very much to the suc cess of the affair by a fitting opening Have you ever read the Italian legend on gossip? If you have, it is worthy of a second reading: In the old days, a peasant confess ed to a priest that he had slandered an innocent man. The priest said to him. "for your pennance do this now: Take a bag of chicken down. Go to every yard in the town and drop one bit of down into each garden. Do not miss one yard. When you have finished, return to me." The Fin nor believed his punish ment was light. With his bag of down hp made the circuit of the village and carefully dropped one soit feath er into each garden. Then he report ed to the priest, saying: "I have done my penance." "No. my sn," replied the old abbe. "Yen v. ill net have done your pen anc until ycu take the bag, go again on your rounds, collect every feather you have dropped, and bring it here to me." The gossip protested that it would be impossible; he could not find the bits of down in a lifetime; many of them had blown far away. "So it is with gossip," replied the old p'':eft. "It is easily dropped. Hr.t rover sigain. no matter how hard yi,n try. enn you gather back the vc-ds you have so thoughtlessly scattered." Concrete Being Poured Night and Day at Plant Rapid Progress in Construction of Slory Tanks Eerection of Shop Building Under Way. Work is progressing nicely on the eight large slory tanks down at the cement plant. For weeks prepara tions have been going on for thia event that is attracting a great deal of attention just at present, and crushed rock are dumped into a large hopper by a crane and clam shell, from which it. is fed "Into a mammoth cement mixer and then into contain ers and wheeled into the matrices by a bevy of workmen. Car load after car load of concrete goes into these molds every twenty-four hours. These tanks are fashioned in the form of silos and will be 48 feet In height. The tanks are to be used for storing and mixing the raw products that go into the making of cement. The work of pouring concrete be gan at 7 o'clock Monday morning and will continue without ceasing' Carl Ryder. He stood straight and day and night until the slorys are completed. The forms are raised by jack screws at the rate of about eight feet every twenty-four hours. Just east of the tanks a large clam is being operated, making ready for the erection of another large build ing. The steel frame of the shop building on the north of the old main line Burlington tracks is in place and the walls are being built of ce ment blocks, which will later be cov ered with stucco. J. A. Sunderland, of Omaha, a prominent official of the company, visited the plant Monday afternoon. He was accompanied by L. C. Shelters of the Omaha office. It was Mr. Shelters' first visit at the plant dur ing working hours and he was much interested in the progress of the work and the method of erecting concrete walls inside of forms that are con tinually moving upward as fast as the concrete can be dumped into the mold. "If I were not witnessing this with my own, eyes." said Mr. Shelters, "I would say that it could not be done. How do you account for it?" he ask ed, addressing C. Y. Allison, head carpenter, under whose direction the molds were fashioned and put in place. "Simple enough," said Mr. Alljson. "Ash Grove cement." Louis ville Courier.

"I couldn't have got any more if I had decided to fight it," was Moth er's only comment as he was locked in his cell by Sheriff Ryder. The crime to which Mosher con fessed was one of the most brutal assaults of its kind in the annals of the county. He and John W.
