THE KICKS ON THE LIFE | IN W'SHANE'S HOTEL Fred Gordon Plesds Guilty to Of- fanse with Stipulation that He Be Sent to Grand Island Jail. DISLIKES MENU SERVED HERE With the stipulation that he be . sent to the Grand Island jail and not | ' \ confined in Sheriff McShane's high- priced but low-qualitied calaboose in | the court house here, Fred Gordon | pleaded guilty before Judge T. C.| b Munger in federal coprt to having in L his possession morphine contrary to the new “‘dope” law. He was given ' thirty days. Flossle Cain also H pleaded gullty and drew the same wentence. i The verdict of unfortunates against the [} quality and quantity of the menu at the Douglas county jail seems to be unani- mous. All federal prisoners confined there | recently have been loud in condemnation | of it. A number have begged the court, | when passing sentence, to have them | taken to jalls out in the state, This has | | | been a source of additional federal ex- pensa, Bome prisoners have even been given | the minimum federal prison sentence, a | year and a day, because, the court | pointed out, they would be better cared | for there and. would not mind the year of confinement as much as they would »ix months in the county jail A.
