UNDER THE LAW REWARDS CANNOT
II DEMI
BE ACCEPTED Bl OFFICERS CF UW
Numerous Authorities are Cited to Show That the Salary or Fees
k the Only Compensation Allowed the Officers Would Save
Much Hard Feelinjf Over Reward for Convicts.
The question of the collection
of the reward and to whom it
should go of $700 on each of the
murderous convicts which escaped
from the penitentiary a week ago
by shooting down the deputy and
warden has been quite extensive
ly agitated through the news
papers of the state. Some there
are among oflicials who it is
slated would lay claim to the re
ward. Ft is a general proposition of
law that when a man lakes an
oath as an officer, and the com
pensation or remuneration of the
office is a stipulated salary, such
as is generally the case with
sheriffs and police officers, as
well as judges, all of the duties
of the office are to he performed
for the salary fixed by law, nnd
none can accept any fee or re
ward above their salary.
Montgomery . II. Troop, a
recognized authority in his work
on "Public Officers," at section
No. 48!), says: "It is evident that
where a reward has been offered,
by the public authorities or by an
individual, for a service which is
in the line of an officer's duty, he

Ice Gorge at Papio Creek, Which

The Miii'linglon I rain service
was .somewhat deranged I his
morning on account' of an ice
gorge at Hie Papio creek, which
crosses I he tracks between La
Plalle ami l!clleue. The creek
was so swollen that two miles of
track were under water.
The local switch engine crew
went over the I rack last night
wild the road 'master and arrived
tin the vjllage of Papio to, see the
town under water, the water be
ing almost to the window sills. In
one instance Hie citizens had
placed long timbers, one end on a
table, in nn old lady's dwelling
and were bringing her to land;
she was about 80 years old.
On account of the condition of
the track No. (5 did not run this
morning and I he switch engine
and crew substituted for No. 15,
taking the Omaha passengers to
Pacific Junction to catch No. 5
from the cast. Road Master Em

Knowledge is the result of ex
perience. v iaV(. (, ,.y many
things- before we reach the de
sired result. The same was done
by our forefathers. All herbs and
vegetables were tried until it was
decided which of Iheni should be
used as food, which as feed and
which as medicine. Kuril genera
iion milled to this knowledge until
the present science of medicine
was developed. Different herbs
were combined to make their ef
fect upon the human body larger
nnd quicker. In this way the well
known remedy, Triner's American
F.lixir of Hitler Wine, was found.
It look many experiments before
this high-class remedy was
brought to its present perfection.

though he may have performed
the service."
At section No. 482 of the same
work Troop says: "So a sheriff
is not entitled to any compensa
tion beyond the statutory fees
and salary, if any, for his per
sonal attentions to bis prisoners."
In a later section the same author
says: "The rule that a public
officer, whose duty it is to detect
or arrest offenders, cannot have a
reward, offered by the public or
by an individual, for the detection
or arrest of a particular offender,
has been decleared and applied in
many American cases."
It would appear from the fore
going that the officers who have
signified their willing to turn
their claim for reward over to the
widow of Roy Blunt, to in a
measure compensate her for her
loss, have in reality no claim to
turn over. Apart from anything
that the officers did, the lady may
be entitled to the reward, as she
it was who first telephoned the
news to T. II. Pollock, and be to
Sheriff Hyers as to the exact loca.

Interesting Talk Monday Evening
to Members of the Young
Men's Bible Class.
County Attorney G. II. Taylor
delivered an interesting talk of
thirty minutes Monday evening to
the members of the Y. M. B. C. of
the Methodist church on the sub
ject of "Individuality." He ela
borated on the theme of the per
sonal unit, in the home, in busi
ness and in society. Mr. Taylor
said in part:
"The individuality of man is the
moving factor of society. Every
advancement in industrial or
social life comes from the in
dividual. It is not the mind of
the community or the mind of
society that conceives the me
chanical invention, or social re
form. It is the individual exer
cising those personal powers with
which we are all endowed. In
deed, the source of man's power
is his individuality."
In speaking of the good to be
accomplished for the w hole of -society
by the individual, the speak
er particularized on the life, of
William Lloyd Harrison, who per
formed such notable service for
the black race in championing the
cause of liberating the slaves. He
recounted the early education, or
lack of it, and the lowly sur
roundings of the youth of Har
rison; yet it remained for the
strong individuality of this ycnilh
to awaken the consicenecs of the
people of this country to the great
wrong of slavery. Four millions
of human beings were being held
down by. the cruel 'shackles of
servitude. The matchless work of
Harrison and his individual ef
forts alone were largely instru
mental in awakening society to
the wrong if was permit I ing to
exist.
There was a large attendance
at the meeting and the address of
Mr. Taylor was very much ap
preciated by I hose who heard it.

Sheriffs Feel Rather Sore.
Itecause the Misouri Pacific
railway was so arbitrary in its
treatment of the sheriffs of Rich
ardson, Nemaha and Otoe coun
ties during the excitement on
Monday, those model officers of
the law will no longer do "free
gratis fer-nnthin"' work for the
Missouri Pacific as I hey have so
often done in the past.
The company "held up" the
sheriffs for $lf)i for the special
train run from Falls City to
Union and then refused to take
Ihe checks of the gentlemen un
til they had been cashed at Union.
They were also tardy in their ar
rival and altogether made Mes
srs. Fenton, Jones and Fischer
"pretty tired," as I hey expressed
themselves.
It has been Hie custom of these
three diligent officials to do con
siderable work for the M. P. com
pany at different limes without
any thought of or hope for re
muneration. It is believed that
the company, in Ihe future, will
lie compelled to do its own de
tective work, at least insofar as
Otoe county is concerned. Ne
