NIGHT OFFICER
NEUMANN HAS
A ROUGH THE
Quito a Great Deal of Excite
ment Aroused Over Arrest of
Young Man.
There was quite a lillle excite
ment created on Main street Sat
urday night when Oflicer Neu
mann was escorting Julius Kala
sek to tiie hastile to rest up from
his over-indulgence in fiery
liquor. The trouble had been
brewing all afternoon, as Kalasek
had been drinking a great deal,
and early in the evening had in
vaded the Arries pool hall and
attempted to start a "rough
house" there by threatening
s e verafp a r t i e s who were engaged
in playing pool, and he wa?
warned by the police to go home
and sober up, and in fact he
started for his place of residence
and while on the avenue was
seized with a desire to return and
take in the dance that was being
given at the Modern Woodman
hall. He went up to the dance
and proceeded to give a demon
stration of his strength by strik
ing the wall of the building with
great force and also struck sev
eral parties who were enjoying
themselves in dancing-.
Julius was urged to stop his
demonstrations, but refused, and
then Oflicer Neumann was sum
moned, and shortly afterwords
arrived and requested Kalasek to
go with him. but the young man
desired to argue the question
and shook ofT the detaining hand
of the officer and tried to push
him away, whereupon Mr. Neu
mann rapped the prisoner once
or twice, which cooled his ardour
slightly, and the inarch toward
the jail was taken up, and as is
usual in cases of this kind, there
were a large number of persons
who abandoned the dance to fol
low along and tried to get in on
the affair by suggestions and ad
vice to both the prisoner and the
policeman, but they were with
out avail and the young man was
placed in the lockup and a physi
fian summoned to look after a
scalp wound on his head that had
been inflicted by the club of the
officer in taking him from the
hall. He remained in jail over
night and was released Sunday
morning through the efforts of a
number of friends, until this
morning. On the way to the jail
there was a great deal of rather
loud talk by the prisoner, which
aroused everyone on the street.
The young man appeared in
Judge Archer's court this after
noon and entered a plea of guilty
to the charge of being intoxicated
and received a fine of $10 and
costs, amounting to $13, and
having made satisfactory terms
with the judge, was allowed to
depart.

Yesterday at Lincoln occurred
the one hundredth birthday an
niversary of James G. Russell,
father of Lew Russell of this city,
and who is one of if not the old
est civil war veteran in the Unit
ed States. The day was observed
by a largo reception at his home
in his honor and has many
friends in IMattsmouth will be
delighted to loarn that their old
friend has rounded out his cen
tury mark and trust that he will
be able to celebrate many more
birthday anniversaries. He has
not been in the best of health of
late, but is remarkably well pre
served for a man of his great age
and his mind is as clear as a bell.
James G. Russell, oldest civil
war veteran in Nebraska and
perhaps in the entire country
and the oldest showman in the
United States, was 100 years old
yesterday and Mr. and Mrs. Rus
sell kept open house all day at
their cosy home, 3032 Y street.
The centenarian had recovered
from a serious illness and was
in excellent physical condition to
stand the strain of greeting hun
dreds of his friends.
The house was a bower of
flowers sent in honor of his
birthday. He received 150 post
cards bearing good wishes and
tokens of affection from all parts
of the country. Many were from
Urownville, his former home.
Thirty telegrams of congratula
tion were flashed from all over
the nation. Friends and rela
tives in .New York City, Seattle,
Michigan, IJrownville. Los An
geles, Omaha and South Omaha
remembered him. A friend in
Seattle sent him a birthday book
and he inscribed his name and
his age in it. The pen used by
the veteran will be sent to this
friend as a souvenir.
Flowers were presented by
Farragut post, G. A. It., by fire
department No. 1 and by Mayor
Zehrung and many others.
Mayor Zehrung called and offer
ed congratulations. As manager
of the Oliver theater the mayor
was his employer for many years.
The "gallery gods" of several
generations have a lively recol
lection of Mr. Russell as - the
ticket taker there.
One hundred and fifty old
; soldiers of Farragut post, G. A.
II., of which Mr. Russell is a
Member, accompanied by a dele
gation of the Y. R. G., called to
felicitate him on attaining such
a ripe old age. C. M. Parker
made a speech, songs were sung
and a purse of $57 was presented
to him as a token of love and
esteem from the members of the
post ami their friends.
The memory of Mr. Russell is

spirit of the occasion with the
enjoyment of a man half of his
age. .since his improvement m

was able to walk to a barber shop
several blocks distant, lie had
told one of his sons that he
would make a merry race to
reach the 100 mark, and it would
not be his fault if he lost the
fight.
James G. Russell was born at
Hangor, Me., March 1, lSl i. For
twenty years he followed the
show business and was employed
during this period as a tumbler
and boss canvasman with a cir
cus. Manager Zehrung of the
Oliver theater says that without
question Mr. Russell is now the
eldest man .in the United State:
who was engaged in the show-
business.
At the opening of the civil war
he left the circus and joined the
Seventh Kansas cavalry. When
the war was . closed he settled
at IJrownville, Neb., and engaged
in the hotel business. So re
markable was his vitality that
when he was 7 i and 75 years old
he was employed as a special
ofiieer by the Burlinglon railroad,
handling with ease men who were
young enough to be his grand
sons. Sixteen years ago he
joined the staff of the Oliver
theater and remained con
tinuously in service until lasl
September, thougti lie was then
over 99 years old. While at the
theater he had a severe fall down
a flight of steps, but apparently
recovered from the effects of th'1
accident. In the early days of the
show business he performed on
the same stage as the uottd
Tony Pastor and other big
tneatricai stars oi the olden
times.
Mr. and Mrs. Russell have four
children: They are: Captain
William II. Russell of the city
fire department; James C. Russell
of IMattsmouth; Mrs. II.
Muentefering of Omaha, and
Mrs. Thomas M. Draper of Los
Angeles, Cal. Mrs. Draper was
unable to be present because of
the serious injury to her hus
band, win, is a member of the
Los Angeles lire department. Sin
sent a message of love and congratulation-,
and expressed her
sorrow that she could not be with
her father and mother. An old
friend, Captain Burt Head of en
gine house No. 10 of Omaha, was
here to greet the veteran, three
la-
hundred friends visited Mr. Rus
sell yesterday.
Mrs. Muentefering said that
.vhen her father was 1)8 years old
he visited her home at Omaha
and he was then so vigorous that
he was able to put on roller
turn about the
skates and take a
room.
Mr. Russell left home to earn
his living when he was but 17
years old. His father and mother
Another former resident of
this city, and who during his
residence here was unite prom
inent in public life and was an
attorney here for a number of
years, has passed to the Great
Beyond, as the dispatches from
Kearney state that James F.
Morrison, who has filled the
position of counly judge of Buf
falo county ami been piile prom
inent at the bar in Kearney, had
died Saturday at his home as the
result of blood poisoning. Some
time ago Mr. Morrison received
a blister on the bottom of his
foot while warming it on a heat
ing stone, and a few days later
blood poison set in which result
ed in his death, although every
thing possible was done to save
his life. The death of Mr. Mor
rison will be" greatly regretted
here by his friends, who were
very well acquainted with him in
his younger days when he was a
resident of this city, and his loss
will be felt very deeply by them.
Mr. Morrison was about 5 years
of age and was a porminent
of age and was a prominent
served as grand master r.f lh"
order in the state, and was well
known to the members of the
order throughout the stale. The
body will be shipped to Glen
wood, Iowa, for burial.
During the years that Mr. Mor
rison was a practicing attorney
in this city he was the chief at
torney in a number of cases that
attracted a great deal' of alien
tion at tin? time, and one oi tnesi
was the famous iall murder
ease, in which Charles Yiall was
accused of sendintr a jug of
poisoned whisky to a man named
Armstrong, in Lincoln, and which
was the cause of his death. The
chief witness for the state was
an express messenger, and on I he
dav of the trial Morrison, who
greatly resembled Mall, wearing
i heavv black beard, look his
place in the court room, ami
when it was necessary to identify
Ihe man sending Ihe package by
express, the witness picked out
Morrison, the attorney of Yiall,
as the man, ami as a result tin
prisoner was acquitted, lie was
also an attorney in the famou
Diffenbacker vs. Cul forth cast
which occurred here in the early
eighties. Mr. Morrison was mar
vied here in Platlsmoulh in 1879,
to Miss Jessie Sutton.
The deceased leaves a sister,
Mrs. Alex Skiles, of AIvo, in this
county, to mourn his loss. Mr
S. O. Bovles, a nephew of Mr.
