Hadar Bank Robber
Gets Thirty Years
Jamet Morrison Given Stiff Sentence
at Fierce for Blowing a
Safe.
PIERCE, Nob.. Nov. 20. (Special Tele
Kiam.) Jahies Morrison, convicted of rob
bing the bank at Iladur on the night of
J January IS, was i cntr-nced to thirty years
in the penitentiary In district court here
today.
iiarry Joyce, cnurgeu wun oeing a mem
ber of the same gang, Is now In jail and
will bo tried at the January term. A
third alleged pal, named Klloy, was rap
Jsvtured, but escaped, and Is now at lp-rge.
Morrison and two pals, according to tne
evidence, were seen at Norfolk two days
before the robbery, and Morrison himself
lima to Hadar to look over tho bank the
Saturday before the crime wan committed.
All tore were Been at i'lntnvlew the morn
ing following tho robbery and they took a
train from there to Sioux City.
One of the strong points In the evidence
of tho state was a knife which Morrison
bought at Norfolk two d;iyn before the
robbery, and which was found In the
debris of the wrecked bunk. He sought
to establish an alibi by means of an ex-
convlct from Sioux City and several per
sons of bad repute there. Morrison himself
is an ex-convict.
In pronouncing sentence Judge Welch de
clared that Morrison, having served a
penitentiary team at lf years of aire In
Iowa, had shown himself Incapable of re
forming. Tho statute provides from twenty
years to life Imprisonment, and the Judge
eald twenty years was too small, as that
would release Morrison at the age of 4S,
with still twenty yeurs left In which to
rrcrnco society. So he gave him thirty
years, which, with good behavior, may be
reduced fo twenty,
Morrison did not flinch under sentence.

DURWELL, Neb., Nov. 20. (Special.)
The Burwell Canal and Power com

here, but the ditch has not been op
erated nor lias any effort been made
to operate It for years and even If It
was in operation there Is plenty of water

Governor Shallenberger will make ro
move to appoint a member of the State
Normal board to succeed Superintendent
Hays of Alliance for the presont. The
governor-said this morning he likely would
wait until the time had passed for the
filing of the motion for a rehearing In the
case, and when that was filed and If the
court decided not to change its mind then
would be time enough to name the suc
cessor to Hays.
. Mr. Hays was appointed as a democrat,
but this Is no Indication that he will be
recppolnted. And neither Is It a sign that
Colonel Majors will be appointed In his
place, though the governor would like for
Colonel Majors to be on the board. Inas
much as the colonel has always taken such
an Interest In the normal schools and Is
thoroughly posted on the work and for
other reasons.
In the meantime some of the school men
of the state are suggesting that the gov
ernor would further the interests of the
noimal schools If he would ask for the
resignation of the members of the board
who live in the towns where there are
ncrmal schools and thus have no local men
on the board. This proposition was put up
to Governor Sheldon and It was seriously
considered by him. but he named a resident
at I'eru and at Kearney. ,
Complaint has been mode to the state
auditor regarding a certificate which the

and finds that he is in every way worthy
of being bonded, and guarantees to bond
him at any time application is maqe for
a period of one year. The certificate costs
the person who accepts It $2.50.
The auditor, ofter complaint had been
made to him, wrote to the company In
quiring If the $2.50 was deduced from the
premium should a bond be written or If
that Is In addition to the rates prescribed
by the State Bonding board. He also de
sired to know If the company meant to
keep the certificate good with a person
who during the life of the certificate
should commit crimes and be arrested. In
fuct, the auditor desired to know Just how
far the company thought the certificate
was bonding on it. ,
