Willis illdo. tbo third member o : the gang , turned state's evidence on bis part ners and wns reworded by the count ) attorney entering a nolle in the case aj fur as ho was concerned. That this case has boon an expensive on there can bo but little doubt. While tbl Is true evenhanded Justice has hooi meted out and the taxpayers will smll when Ihoy know what tboso chickens hav cost tba county. Tno lonir and short of the whole matter that tbo farmers nbout Albright were annoyed by chicken thiovcs. Almost nlgbtl ; the henhouses were raided.

They were tried in polio court In South Omaha and just forty-on days ago Ihoy entered iho county jail , when they have since boarded. Now that iho cases aealnst them have bee disposed of it is of Interest to iho publl to know how much it has cost t got oven with the men who committee the heinous crime of stealing twelve hens. According to the latest and most rellabl market quotation * the hens were worth , 1. fat , 21 CCUM each , or ftl in tbo ugcregato. In the lower court the arrest and the attend ing costs footed up to $30. Then tbo youug men became boarders ot iho counly jail.
