DAY IN DISTRICT COURT TO
LIQUIDATE BUSINESS.
From Monday's Dally

the appointment of a receiver for thej
firm of E.G. Dovey .Son. to faclll-j
tate the closing up of the affairs of
the firm, the settlement of its ac
counts and a general adjustment of
the business.
The application was made on the
initiative of the parties interested
and is the outcome of a long series
of litigations that have tended to
shake the interests of this store
which was for many years one of the
leading establishments of its kind in
the state.
The court, after hearing the mo
tion for the appointment of a receiv
er, received the suggestions of the
parties interested as to whom they
felt would act as receiver and make
a successful liquidation of the affairs
of the store and after deliberation.
Judge Begley appointed John F. Gor
der to the position of heceiver for the
interests of the store and fixed the
bond in the sum of $20,000.
The firm of E. G. Dovey & Son is
the oldest business establishment in
the city and was started here in the
year 18G3 when E. G. Dovey arrived
from the south where he had made
his home for a number of years after
migrating from England and the firm
was at first known as Dovey & Ami
son, later Mr. Dovey taking over
the interests of hi3 partner. Later
Mr. Dovey took as a partner in the
store George E. Dovey his eldest i
son. and following the death of the I
father in England in 1881. the store
interest was managed by George E.
Dovey and the two other sons, Oliver
C. and H. N. Dovey, as well as their
mother, Mrs. Jane A. Dovey, up un
til 1909 when Oliver Dovey retired
from the firm and later in 1916, II.
N. Dovey filed an action to dissolve
the partnership of the ..store, and
which Is still pending in court. Dur-
Dovey has continued ih'ttie'active
management of the store.
This firm has one of the largest
store buildings in the city, having a
three front building in one of the
best business locations of the city
and have been known as one of the
largest commercial institutions of the
community.
The newly appointed receiver will
have charge of the collecting of all
accounts due the firm and will also
have charge of the sale of the stock
of goods now on hand in the store,
but there will be no more merchan
dise secured and the stock disposed
of as rapidly as possible in order to
liquidate the business and permit a
final settlement of the affairs.

TODAY IS ANNI
VERSARY OF PENI
TENTIARY BREAK
Tragedy of Ten Years Ago Recalled
Excitement Ran High in Cass
County at That Time.
From Tuesdays Dally.
Ten years ago today, March 14th
at 2:15 p. m., three desperate crim
inals broke through the bars of the
Nebraska penitentiary after killing
Warden James Delahunty, E. G. Heil
man, ush?r, and Deputy Warden
Iltnry Wagner. Three days later the
robbers were overtaken by a posse of
officers of the law on a Sarpy county
road and of the trio but one was re
turned alive.
Itoy Blunt, an innocent farmer.
compelled by the bandits to drive
them toward Omaha in- his farm
wagon, was killed in the battle where
"3horty" Gray lost his life, John
Dowd killed himself and Charles
Morley gave himself up. He was
young, married two months, and a
farmer living near Meadow.
Charles Morley is still a peniten
tiary inmate. He has been an inmate
since the evening of the day when he
engaged officers in battle on the hill
road east of Gretna. He was serving
a penitentiary term of fifteen years
when he broke out of the pen, leav
ing a trail of bloodshed and desola
tion behind him. He, alone of the
trio that went out of the pen into
the snowstorm, into a March blizzard
that blocked the roads with six foot
drifts, came back alive. The outbreak
was the direct cause of six deaths,
three at the pen when the break was
made and three at the end of the
trail they tried to follow.
"Shorty" Gray in some manner got
possession of three guns and. a quan
tity of nitro-glycerine. Where he got
them no one ever found out. The
three men, at a given signal, ap
proached the barred doors, blew off
the locks after covering the turnkey
with their guns and then engaged
the warden, his deputy and usher In
battle. The officials of the prison
were shot down and the prisoners
escaped through the front door. Their
trail was lost. It afterwards . de
veloped that they ran east up the
little branch that flows past the pen.
finally eachrng'tn"edalrr-farrrf 'of
Joseph Dickman, not far from the
residence of the Catholic bishop.
. There they stayed until early the
following morning, intimidating the
family, answering the telephone calls
and commanding everyone ' to do
what they wanted done.
The following morning they forced
Lloyd Dickman, a son of the family
to drive them in a milk wapon to
Twentieth and R streets in Lincoln.
On the way the wagon got struck in!
the snowdrifts and the capital city;
chief of police happening along about!
that time, helped young Dickman to
eet his milk wagon out of the drifts,
unconscious of the fact that the three
men his entire force was looking for,
were in that wagon.
From the Rock Island yards, they
made their way along the Rock Is
land to Murdock. where they robbed
a store, got a rifle, fresh ammunition
and some food. They were next j
heard of near South Bend and later'
at Meadow. They were at or near
Meadow when the posse started from
Lincoln, headed by Sheriff Gus Hyers. :
They forced Roy Blunt, a farmer, to!
take them in his farm wagon along
the road leading to Omaha, where
they wanted to get. East of Gretna,
they were overtaken by the posse,
pnd a gun battle followed, Hyers and
Chief of Police Briggs leading the at
tack. At the Blunt home, after the con
victs had learned that Mrs. Blunt
h.id gone to a neighbor's to give the
alarm, the trio left the following
note:
"To the Possee: We have taken
your neighbor for a hostage; if you
do not follow us or report the matter,
he will not be injured."
Blunt was killed and many to this
d.iv believe that he was killed by
"Shorty" Gray.
The mystery to this day is: Where
did "Shorty" Gray get the guns and
the nitro-glycerine?
Another unsolved question is, of
course, who killed Gray and Blunt.
Morley on this, the tenth anniver
sary of the outbreak, is still in
prison. His health is breaking and
he has aged greatly.
DEATH OF ELMER MONROE
From Tuesday's uuuv
The death of Elmer E.; Monroe,
former Plattsmouth man, occurred
March 4. 1922. at Hyattville, Wy
oming, where he has been making
his home for the last few years.

SOME OLD RELICS
The west display window of the
C. E. Wescott's Sous' store has a
number of very interesting relics on
display there that were donated by
Mrs. A. 1. Asch of near Murray for
that purpose. Among these are two
papers, one printed in 1789, the year
of Washington's first entry into of
fice as president and the other pub
lished in Ulster county. New York,
in 1800. Another of the old curios in
a large rosary worn by one of the
early Catholic missionaries as well
as a number of other small articles
which have a very interesting his
tory. SAVES COUNTY
A GREAT DEAL OF
COURT EXPENSE
Handling of Criminal Cases in Office
of County Attorney and Sher
iff Cuts Down Expenses.
From Tuesday's Dally.
The manner in which the crimin
al docket of the district court was
handled at this term of court means
the saving of at the very lowest fig
ure, $2,000 to the taxpayers of the
county as had the cases been drawn
out through the long process of jury
trials there would have been a very
heavy expense entailed that would
not in the least better served the
ends of justice than the skillful man
ner in which County Atorney A. G.
Cole handled his end of the state
cases and in which he was ably as
sisted by Sheriff Quinton and Chief
of Police Jones as well as Contable
Detleff. In the case of the young men
charged with burglary which was
the first case handled yesterday in
the district court, the able efforts of
the county attorney and sheriff se
cured a prompt settlement and the
long process of three Jury trials was
avoided and the same in the booze
cases that were brought up and dis
posed of in the county court, saving
the time and expense o fthe trials in
the district court.1 Each day the jury
is in service there is a cost of $100
to the county and with the criminal
cases . that were handled yesterday
this would have run up to at least
the ? 2 ,00-mark if not more. WKile
this, method does not permit the
county authorities making a great
display of their efforts in the courts
it certainly cuts down the expense
of operating the machinery of the
law.
RETURNS FROM HOSPITAL
Froir Tuesday's Dan:.
Mrs. William Wetenkamp, who
has for the past three weeks been at
the Immanuel hospital in Omaha tak
ing treatment anil recovering from
the effects of her operation, was able
to return home last evening and will
spend a few days here with relatives
recuperating before going to her
country home. Her return has
brought great pleasure to the family
and friends and they are hopeful
that she will continue to show im
provement. Elmer Wetenkamp, who has (been
at the Immanuel hospital for a long
period, is now in such condition that
it is thought he will be able to re
turn home the last of the week and
feels very much better than he nas
for a long time.

ALLEGED ROBBERY
James Zaubeck Draws a Penitentiary
Century Others Got Off with
Three Months in Jail.

I As an aftermath of the burglariz-
I ing of the home of Elmer Wetenkamp
on the night of February 17th. this
morning three young men, Jains
Zaubeck. Harold Manners and Hrmiii
Galloway, were arraigned in the dis
trict court on the charge of burglary.
The charges preferred against the
three men were that they entered the
Wetenkamp home and took therefrom
a pair of shoes, one army shirt, one
coat, one overcoat, two new Goodrich
tires and a few other smaller article,
and the value of the good taken wan
over $60. At the time of the burg
lary there was no one at the Weten
kamp home and the young men stated
to the court that they had disposed
of the two tires in Omaha for the
sum of S20 and the authorities wtro
able to recover a number of the other
articles taken from the person! of
the young men.
The story of the burglary was re
vealed Saturday night when Zaubeck.
Manners and a young man nameil
Burke were apprehended with a
quantity of liquor in their possession
and at the time one of the parties
was wearing a shirt taken from the
Wetenkamp home and Sheriff Quin

ticularly in the case of James Zau
beck, who had been given lenient
treatment at Nebraska City, on the
charge of stealing a car and the court
reminded him of his proniiae to go
in the f;traiht and narrow path. As
it was the second offense for this
young man, he was given a sentence
of frsm one to five years in the state
penitentiary.
BTJian Galloway stated that he
had been with the two other men at
