DRAWS JAIL TERM
From Tuesday's Dally
This morning Eddie Ryan, giving
Des Moines, Iowa, as his home, was
arraigned in the county court before
Judge Av II. Duxbury. The defend
ant was charged by County Attorney
J. A. Capwell with stealing a Toast-
master electric toaster from the sales
room of the Iowa-ebraska Light &
Power Co.
The evidence of Chief of Police Joe
Libershal as to finding the toaster
in Ryan's possession and also that
of Anton Hasson, who was present
as the arrest was made. The em
ployes of the light and power com
pany made identification of the
toaster and the defendant.
Tha story told by Ryan was that
he had arrived in Omaha on last
Wednesday, intoxicated and with $20
in money. He decided to purchase a
toaster and save for his sister. He
had bought it somewhere on a hill
from the Douglas street bridge. He
had met a companion whose name he
did not know and came here with
him. lie knew nothing of any theft.
Ryan claimed that if the toaster
was one that had been stolen, that
his companion must have taken the
defendant's toaster and stolen the one
found.
The court after hearing the evi
dence in the case decided that a jail
erm and to pay the costs of the prose
cution would be the fate of the de
fendant and he was accordingly turn
ed over to Sheriff Homer Sylvester.

The impressive American Legion
Auxiliary memorial was given by
Mrs. L. S. Devoe with the musical ac
companiment by Miss Edna Mae
Petersen and the prayer by Mrs. Ade
laide Boynton, chaplain of the Aux
iliary. The poppies of memory were
placed by Marjorie Devoe and Dor
othy Jean Cappell.
The address of the day was given
by the Rt. Rev. Monsignor Adolph M.
Mosler, pastor of the Holy Rosary
church, who paid k splendid tribute
to the memory of all those who had
served to preserve the nation and its
ideals that had served as beacon
lights for the rert of the world. The
memorial day was one of spirit and
honor rather than of stone and
bronze and one that more truly mark
ed the real American spirit and ideal
ism of n grateful nation.
The speaker paid a glowing tribute
to the bravery of the men of America
that had fared the great tasks that
war had challenged them to meet,
the partings as they moved to foreign
soil to battle. Their resting places
marked where they had fallen in the
stopping of the greatest of all wars.
Monsignor Mcsler urged that the na
tions of Europe recognize th) great
sacrifice of the Americans and provide
for ways of peace, to recognize there
as in the United States t he s;irit of
liberty and equality that had made
possible the enjoyment of life and
the freedom of conscience. The
speaker urged the livirg to dedicate
themselves to the preservation of that
for which the thousands foiipht and
who in dreamless sleep serve as mute
monuments of sacrifice for right.
The services were closed by the
sounding of taps by Burton Rishel
as a fitting climax.
