POLICE JUDGE OF
PLATTSMOUTH
FOR 25 YEARS
Judge Michael Archer, Nearly Eighty
Years of 9ge, has Served Twenty
five Years as Police Judge.
From Saturday's Daily.
The record in point of service to the
people of this city and county which
is held by Judge Michael Archer, the
nestor of the Cass county bar, is one
that bespeaks well the confidence and
esteem of the people of the com
munity whom he has served as justice
of the peace for twenty-six years and
police judge of the city of Platts
mouth for twenty-five years.
Judge Archer, who bears well his
seventy-nine years of age, was born
December 3, 1836,- in Union township,
Monroe county, Ohio, and here was
reared to young manhood, but finding
that he was not suited with his op
portunities in his native place, decid
ed to seek his fortune in the west and
located at near what is now Burling
ton, Iowa, in 1834, but not finding this
to his liking decided to continue on
to Nebraska, and in 1856 arrived at
the banks of the Missouri river and
located near Rock Bluffs, after a most
strenuous journey across the state of
Icwa. At this time Kansas and Ne
braska was the battle ground of the
contending factions of the pro-slavery
and anti-slavery elements of the na
tion and the excitement over whether
these two terirtories were to be ad
mitted as free or slave states was
stirring everyone and many scenes of
outlawry were enacted by both fac
tions. While the judge, then a young
man, was crossing Iowa he caught up
with a company of some 300 of the
"peaceful citizens" of Col. James Lane
bound for Kansas to assist in keeping
out slavery, and they had with them a
small cannon which was to assist in
the good work. Mr, Archer was
closely questioned as to his destina
tion, and when it was found that he
was bound for Nebraska the interest
in him cea?ed, although he was urged
to join the Lane party, but passed
this up and came on to Nebraska.
After arriving here Mr. Archer took
up farming for a number of years in
what was old Eight Mile Grove, and
while there, in the seventies, was
elected as a justice of the peace, but
later he located at Rock Bluffs and
was again honored by the office of
justice of the peace. After his elec
tion to the office of justice the atten
tion of Mr. Archer was drawn to the
practice of law. and while not en
gaged in his farming he spent his
spare time in the study of law from
the books borrowed from his friends
in Plittsmouth, and in this way he
laid the foundation of his legal educa
tion and continued this study of law
until he moved to Plattsmouth in
18S7, when he entered the law office
of Byron Clark and finished up his
course, which secured his admission to
the bar in 1890.
During the years that Judge Archer
was gathering his knowledge of law
he attended a great many trials and
was given the opportunity of hearing
such attorneys as Judge M. B. Reese
T. M. Marquett, Willet Pottinger,
Samuel Maxwell, George S. Smith, S
M. Chapman, A. N. Sullivan, Allen
Beeson, B. S. Ramsey and in later
years H. D. Travis, and from these
cases, as well as a closes tudy of law
he secured a clear insight into the
real foundation of the common law
and the practice of this profession.
After he had been a resident of this
city for a few years Mr. Archer was
appointed justice of the peace fo
Plattsmouth city in 1889, and has held
that office continuously since that
time, and in 1890 he was first elected
police judge and with the exception
of two years has filled that office in
a manner that is a credit and honor
to the community and himself. After
his two years retirement in 1904-05
Judge Archer was again called to his
old post and has held it continuously
since that time.
In politics Judge Archer has always
been a faithful and loyal democrat,
even in times wnen tnat meant a
hardship, as ' the members of the
democratic1 party in early days were
nol strongly in favor in Nebraska. He
has several times been the nominee of
that party for county office and has
labored long and faithfully in the
cause he believed in. He is also one
of the veteran members of the Masons
and for several years has been the
secretary of Plattsmouth lodge No.
6, A. F. & A. M.
During- his service as justice he has
passed on a number of important
cases and held the preliminary hear
ing in the Hill'Benwell murder case,
as well as that of the manslaughter
case of Lindsay, growing out of a
prize fight in this city in 1894.
LITTLE ELIZABETH HATT FRAC
TURES HER RIGHT ARM
From Saturdays Dally. 1
Yesterday afternoon little Elizabeth
Hatt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John
V. Hatt, met with quite a painful in
jury by the fracturing of her right
arm at the elbow. The little girl was
engaged in playing with a number of
little friend 3 and was seated in a ham
mock, when it was overturned and she
was thrown to the ground, with the
result that the arm was fractured or
thrown out of place at the elbow
joint. The injury was dressed and
the little girl made as comfortable as
possible and is getting along nicely.
FUNNY CLOWNS
AND COWBOYS
AND COWGIRLS
Fifty Jieal Funny Clowns With the
Yankee Robinson Shows and
Texas Bill's Cowboys.
In addition to the big circus acts
with the Yankee Robinson Shows, the
trained wild animal acts of the Carl
Hcffenback's Show and the thrilling
feats of the cowboys and cowgirls of
Texas Bill's, fifty funny clowns are
interspersed through the program,
and really put on some stunts that are
side splitters. One of the many fea
tures long remembered with the show
is the European war number and the
busting of the aeroplane. If this does
not make the meanest man in thus
community laugh, there is not a
laugh in him. At Plattsmouth Mon
day, August 9. '
WHILE MILKING MAN GETS
KICKED Hi EYE BY COW
Arthur White, who has been spend
ing a short time on a farm in the vi
cinity of Myr.ard, is attracting a
great deal of attontion from the fact
hat his left eye is Bandaged up as
a result of an encounter with a cow.
Arthur was engsged in milking the
animal and was getting along fin9
when the anims.1, to rid herself, of
some flies, brought one of her hind
feet up rather quickly to get the an
npying insects and instead caught Art
in the eye, and while no serious dam
age was done to his optic, still thai,
member swelled up a great deal and
made it necessary to have it bandag
ed. He will in the future avoid tha
milking of the cows, and especially
during the fly season.
MERLE RAIHEY RETURNS
FROM HOSPITAL AT OMAHA
Merle Rainey, who was operated on
at the Methodist hospital in Omaha
some two weeks ago for appendicitis
was able to return home Saturday
afternoon and i.s feeling much im
proved since the operation. That the
young man has fared so well in re
covering from his illness will be most
cheering news to his host of friend
who have been anxiously awaiting
word as to his condition.
OFFICER JONES PLACES
DRUNKEN MAN IN JAIL
From Saturday s Dailv.
This afternoon a stranger, clearly
under the influence of "booze," was
seized by a desire to slumber and de
cided that the lawn surounding the
court house would make a suitable
couch, and accordingly sank to repose,
but had been enjoying his siesta only
a 6hort time wh'n Officer Alvin Jines
came his way and gathered the sleep
ing stranger in his grasp and con
ducted Jiim to the city jail to sleep off
his accumulation of joy water and to
enjoy the soft crouches of stone and
wood provided in the jail. It is to be
hoped that the rest in the ajil will be
a warning to th-3 stranger to get out
of town and save the necessity of car
ing for him by the city.
For a Sprained Ankle.
If you will get a bottle of Chamber
lain's Liniment tnd observe the direc
tions given therewith faithfully, you
will recover in much' less time than is
usually required. Obtainable every

HOT BALL GAME
PULLED OFF SUN
DAY AFTERNOON
Very Close and Exciting Contest and
the Sox Get Away With Their
Thirteenth Game in a Row.
The red hosed legion of Pa Johnson
annexed their thirteenth straight
game yesterday, when in a close and
exciting contest they- won from the
Louisville jeam, and throughout the
contest the fans on both sides were
kept guessing, as the game was won
and lost and won again by the locals
in a whirlwind finish that brought
them in the winners by the score of
ii to 5, despite the numerous costly
errors, as well as the gift of a score
by Greko in the third,vwhen Larson,
who had been walked to first, was
forced across the plate by the passing
of Huff. Connors, formerly the
mound artist of the Sox, apieared for
the visitors and in the opening in
nings had the Hose guessing and bit
ing at his slow curves, but in the clos
ing innings they were able to connect
with telling effect on his slants.
Greko experienced a very bad inning
in the third, when he walked three
men, which, with a hit gave them a
gift of one run, but was able during
the last innings, with the support of
his teammates to recover the lost
ground. There were several costly
errors made by the Sox during the
game, but this was wiped out in the
final result. Greko struck out seven,
while Connors got away with ten
strikeouts.
The second stage of the conflict re
sulted in the locals securing their
first runs of the game, when Mason,
who opened the inning, was able to
find a safety over short, and fattened
his base stealing record by annexing
second and third. Pitman was able
to secure, a lease of life by an error
of Connors, and when Parker 'secured
a safety through short Mason and
Pitman scored, while Craig ended the
inning by whiffing.
In the third the visitors were able
to nab one run during the ascension
of the Sox, as after Connors had fan
ned, Larson was walked and Fred
Ossenkop put a hot one through third
and was followed by Huff, was was
passed to the first sack, but G. Ossen
kop failed to deliver by striking out,
and the walk of Koop forced Larson
across for a run.
In the fifth Louisville-was able to
gather in another run when Huff was
rr.fe on an error and scoured on the hit
of Rockwell to left field, but this was
all there was doing, as Rocky was
caught at second on a throw by Her
old, ending the visitors' half of the
inning. The Sox were also busy with
their sticks, assisted by two passes
by Connors in this inning, and regain
ed the lead by scoring one. Parker
was retired, Connors to G. Ossenkop
Jhen Craig was allowed his base on
balls and stole second, and was fol
lowed by Beal, who was also given
frt-e transportation to the initial sack
and when Parriott poked one to center
field Craig was able to register, but
Parriott was a little short of second
when Hammond threw in the ball and
he was put out. Ma son ended the in-
pir.g by a grounder to Larson at
shortstop.
In the sixth inning large chunks
of gloom prevailed the fans when the
Louisville boys secured the lead by
adding two to their list, giving them
foar runs. Salsburg opened the per
formance by a grounded to Parriott
which was not handled in time, and on
the two-bagger of Connors to left
field he came home, and Connors
scored on the fly of Larson to right
The eighth inning was a life saver
for the Sox, as they again came into
the lead by annexing two more runs
Pitman was safe at first through an
erw at shcitstop, and when Parker
hit tafely to Cfjjter field, he came
home, while Va-ker scored on the hit
of lital to ih'l 'ft garden.
The Louisville boys cane right ba
in their half of the ninth inning and
tied up the score, when G. Ossenkop
scored on the hit of "Rocky" to cen
ter, wh en the ball was lost for a few
seconds, and this prove! cheering to
the loyal Louisville fans who had ac
companied their team here, but was
short-lived, as the Sox came home
with the bacon in the last of the
ninth. Peter Herold opened up the
fireworks with a safe hit to left field
and was able to steal second off of
Koop, and when William Mason poked
one to center he scored and everybody
went home happy over another-win.
The crowd in attendance was even
larger than last Sunday and a great
many from our neighboring city were
present to cheer on their team. '
The tabulated score of the game
was as follows:

WENT ON THEIR
WAY SOBERER IF
NOT SADDER MEN
Saturday afternoon the spectators
who were attending the band concert
at the corner of Fifth and ' Main
streets were startled ever and anon
by a loud "whoopee," which was
emitted by someone evidently filled to
the utmost capacity with a quantity
of distilled spirits which was inspir
ing his enthusiasm. The stranger
who was giving vent to his feelings
lingered too long at his sport and
fell under the watchful eye of Acting
Chief of Police Alvin Jones and was
gathered in to recuperate in the peace
and quiet of the city bastile from his
enthusiasm. The man, aside from
his boisterousness did not attract
much attention and it was really
amusing to watch him as he emitted
his war whoops and carefully looked
around to see if the police were on
hand, and was not suspecting that
they had executed a flank movement
on him until he was captured and
taken to jail with his colors flying,
but his spirit slightly dampened. He
was discovered to be rtie companion
of the stranger who had been picked
up asleep on the court house lawn,
and they spent a quiet time together
at the jail for a few hours and were
then allowed to go on their way sad
der and soberer men. r
A TOUCH OF METROPOLITAN
ENTERPRISE AT WESCOTT'S
From Friday's Dally.
A touch of real metropolitan enter
prise has been given to the bill board
on Fifth street near the postoffice,
where the firm of C. E. Wescott's
Sons have installed electric illumina
tion to their section of the bill board
and the sign advertising their store is
visible day or night to the passer
by and the lights not only attract at
tention to the bill board, but also as
sisst those going that way to get along
much more comfortably than hereto
fore, as the light along that street
is not of the best, as the street
lamps are a block apart. This is the
first of the bill boards to be equipped
with electric lights and is a stroke of
enterprise on the part of the firm.
The lights are reflected down on the
sign and make it easy to read clear
across the street. .
