Supreme Court
Sustains Cutting
of Toll Rates
State Tribunal in Decision Yesterday
netuses to Trevent Cut in the
Rates Over Old Bridge.
From Thursday's Dally
The question of the right of an in
dividual or company operating a toll
bridge to lower the rates to a figure
below that set under the law by the
district court, was passed upon yes
terday by the supreme court at Lin
coln, which body held that the rates
so charged might be less than those
established by the court, but not
greater. -.
The case on which the court pass
ed was that of the King of Trails
Uridge company vs. the Plattsmouth
Auto and "Wagon Bridge company,
appealed from the district court of
Cass county, where Judge Raper had
rany as to their right to lower toll
rates, the court holding: that while
the law of the state was specific in
setting forth that the rates charged . From Thursday s jjany

In force.
With the lowering of the rates, th
newer bridge company nought an in-'
junct.on to prevent the cutting of
rates in the competition between the
two bridges.
A temporary restraining order was
cranted. under which the old com
pany was forced to charge the higher'
rate for a period of some two weeks,
but on the hearing to make the in
junction permanent. Judge Raper, of
Pawnee City, who heard the case in
the district court here, denied the
petition of the King of Trails com
panv, noiaing tnai wnue ine law
said" the court should prescribe the
rates that could be charged, it was
evident that the law itself was en
acted only to prevent the undue rais
ing of charges and toll rates, as there
was no penalty named in the law for
lowering rates, while there was a
penalty provided for the raising of
the rates above the sum set by court,
The matter was taken on appeal by
the plaintiffs, the King of Trails
Bridge company to the state supreme
court, where the decision of Judge
Raper was sustained.

Resting in the
County Bastile
V
Farm Hand Who Has Been Creating
Terror Near Louisville, Now
Behind the Iron Bars.
From Thursday's Daily
Ernest Jackson, farm hand who
has been working in the vicinity of
Weeping Water and Louisville for
some time, is now resting in the coun
ty jail, the final goal of the "bad
man, as the gentleman was fond of
calling himself in his correspondence
with his friends and also in his con
versations.
The man seems to be suffering from
a mania for forcing his attentions
upon young girls and in his posses
sion there were found a large number
of pictures of girls and from letters
that he had in his possession, he had
evidently gained the idea that he
was a real "sheik" among the ladies,
although in appearance he is more
than ordinarily homely and far from
being in any way attractive.
For some time the man had been
writing letters to members of a fam
ily residing in Louisville and the ob
jections of the mother to the forced
attentions that the man was making
to members of her household caused
him to become threatening in letters
written to her and caused a great
deal of terror to the members of the
family, as Jackson announced him
self as a "bad man" and also "some
man," these being two of his pet ex
pressions in his letters.
The affair reached a head on Sun
day and led to Sheriff Stewart being
notified of the matter and the down
fall of the "bad guy." The man Jack
son on bunday followed up his
threaten'ng letters by making a call
at the nome of the family that he
had been annoying and where at the
time the only members of the family
present was an invalid boy and the
nurse. To these the man talked of
what he intended to do to other
members of the family and flourished
a revolver. He was told that the
other members of the family whom he
sought would not return home until
late at night and he stated that he
would wait for them. The man then
went out into the yard and proceded
to shoot several times and caused
more or less apprehension to mem
bers of the family, but evidently lost
his desire to wait, as he was not on
the premises vhen the family return
ed. He had been told that the fam
ily intended to come to Plattsmouth
for the celebration Monday and ac
cordingly! he came here with his re
volver concealed beneath his shirt
and spent the day seeking the fam
ily here, but they had changed their
mind and gone to Lincoln instead.
Yesterday the matter was report
ed to the office of the sheriff and
Deputy Sheriff Schaus made a trip
out and brought in the man. To the
deputy the man stated that he was
"a real bad actor" and that he had
"killed his brother," being in a very
boastful mood, but on being assured
that he would have all of the "hard
ness" he needed if he started any
thing, the man came in peacefully.
From his letters it seems that he
was acquainted in McKeesport, Pa.,
and had worked in Cleveland, Ohio.
The letters indicate that he had giv
en the friends in the east to under
it 14 lilt 11 i V 11 u ) i n mu i. w .......
stand that he was a cowpuncher of
the most lurid type, and was ready
and willing to "shoot it out" with
anybody, the friends having written
of their desire to see him in his wild
west regalia, guns and all.
The man claims to be 28 years of
age and is evidently a Hungarian or
Pole as parts of the letters that he
has received are in these languages
His chief thought is evidently the
conquering of the fair sex and in
which he considers himself an ex
pert. A complaint charging the man
with carrying concealed weapons
will be filed against him. it' was
stated this morning at the office of
County Attorney Kieck.

Community Has
a Good Rain but
Escapes Storm
Other Localities Suffer From Ex
cessive Rains But Little Dm
age Is Done Ucic.
From Thursday's Dai!v
The storm that swept down from
the southwest last evening shortly be
fore 8 o'clock, did little damage here
anno ror some time it was very
threatening and in view of the hu
midity and oppressive weather condi
tions made it feared for some time
that a real wind and rain storm was
about to berak over this locality.
The banks of clouds swept sudden
ly in view and came on to this city
with great speed but a few miles
south of here the stom seemed to
divide, one portion traveling west of
here about seven or eight miles while
the other crossed the Missouri river
south of here and struck northeast
erly through M1113 county.
West of Mynard and along the Four
Mile Creek territory the rain is re
ported as being very heavy and
bringing the usually placid Four Mile
up to a raging torrent and - which
was still very high today. The resi
dents of the territory visited by the
storm state that the rain while not
of locg duration 7i3e down - with
the intensity of a cloudburst.
Here in this city the rainfal was
a welcome relief and but of short
duration with a very strong wind
accompanying the storm, which, how
ever did no damage.
There was scarcely any rainfall at
Pacific Junction while at Hastings
several miles east there was a very
heavy rain.

Weeping Water
Young Man Gets
Into Trouble
Guy Hopkins, Who Is Charged With
Contributing- to Deliquency of
Minor Arrested.
! From Friday's Daily
j La.st night an arrest was made in
a case that has been worked on for
. some time by Sheriff E. P. Stewart
and County Attorney W. G. Kieck,
and involving an escapade that was
pulled off at Weeping Water in March
&nd which the authorities have been
looking into for some time in order to
eet ahold of the parties who were
alltged to be involved in the affair.
Sheriff Stewart last night drove to
Weeping Water and there placed Guy
Hopkins under arrest on the charge
of contributing to the delinquency of
a minor. Myrtle L. Lohnes, of Omaha
bringing the young man back to this
city with him and lodging him in the
county jail.
The alleged contribution to the ie
hnquency of the girl occurred on
March 6th at Weeping Water, the
girl being brought down from Omaha
it is claimed by several younj vr.
who were at that time residing in
and near Weeping Water. The girl
was kept there for the night and
then was taken back to Omaha where
her home was at that time.
After the escapade at Weeping
Water the girl was sent from Douglas
county to the state industrial school
at Geneva and is still at that insti
tution and will be brought here by
the authorities there to appear in
court against the members of the
party who were involved in her mis
fortune and who the state will charge
are responsible for the taking of the
girl to Weeping Water and the at
tendant delinquency of the unfor
tunate girl.
According to the statements of the
girl thye was a "wild" party staged
at the Cass county town and that she
after arriving there was an unwilling
participant after being gotten into a
drunken condition by the members
of th party. -
After the affair the male members
were absent from their familiar
haunts for some time and the officers
have been busy locating them for the
purpose of getting the affair straight
ened out and the case brought to trial
to determine the guilt or innocense of
the parties involved.'
The men in the case had evidently
been staging a card party in conjunc
tion with their party and the girl
from her statements had been ushered
into the scene unaware of the fact
that it was a "stag" affair and in
which she was unable to get away
until the next day when she was
taken back to Omaha.
HORNED BY A COW
From Friday's Daily
Yesterday Louie Kief, son of Mr.
and Mrs. William Kief, residing in
the south portion of the ,city, had a
very painful and unpleasant experi
ence with the family cow that will
ive him a warm sympathy for the
bull fighters of sunny Spain. Louie
and his pet dog were playing near
the scene where the usually docile
cow and her tiny calf were standing
and the mother cow with all of the
natural animosity that they have for
members of the canine family, was
very much excited at the presence of
the dog and finally took a dive at the
animal, only to miss the dog and the
point of one of her horns penetrated
the right arm of Louie, inflicting a
painful and jagged wound that bled
profusely and required the services
of a surgeon to close. As the result,
Louie is not carrying the Journal for
a few days and is fighting shy of cows
of all descriptions.

the woodland north of this city when
?luy were in pursuit of two men who
were alleged to have taken a lnrge

from a carnival company that had
been showing at Rock Kapids, Iowa.
The men were here in the late
afternoon and approached a number
of the concession people at the Fairly
shows at the tourist park to purchase
the blankets and willing to make a
sale of the blankets in a lump amount.
the men started out to "peddle" the
blankets and approached a number of
J local people on buying some of the
attractive coverings. The attempted
sale of the blankets wan reported to
the sheriff an as he was starting out
to investigate the matter the car that
the strangers were reported to be
