Rob ertson, who was born seventy-five years ago today in the Scottish high lands not far distant from Glasgow, and where he spent his boyhood days, learning in the simple and straight forward life of the residents of the land of the Scot, the strong traits of character that has formed the basis of his later years. Sinve the lear 1ST1 Mr. Robert son has been a resident of Nebraska, the time with the exception of the first few years being spent here in Cass county. Mr. Robertson on first reaching the state was engaged in the supervision of the stone con struction work at various points for William Stout, then one of the lead ing cqntractors of the west and as such was one of those who super vised the construction of the build ings at the state penitentiary. After the close of his work at Lin coln Mr. Robertson came to Cass county and engaged in the super vision of the sand and stone business of his employer at Weeping Water and Louisville and later engaged in the sand business of his own in Louisville and at which he proved very successful. The public life of Mr. Robertson of which he can feel proud of the record made, was first started in 1895 when he was nominated by the republicans for the office of county clerk and elected for two terms in that office and later serving as deputy for his successor until he was again called by the voters to their service in the office of clerk of the district court which he held until 1925. Mr. Robertson is one of the veteran Masons of the state, having been raised in Masonary in 1872 at Lin coln where he was then residing and he is one of the members of the lodge there today. On moving to Plattsmouth in 1895 he continued his Masonic work and was joined in Nebraska Chapter No. 3, R. A. M. and Mt. Zion eommandery No. 5, Knights Templar. He has been honored by the Masonic bodies of the state for his service by being selected as the president of the Nebraska Masonic Home association, of which he has been the head for a period of sev eral years and also has been the grand high priest of the Royal Arch Masons of Nebraska in 1924 and in 192G at the grand eommandery in Plattsmouth was named as grand commander of the Knights Templar of Nebraska. Mr. Robertson has, true to his na tive training been a faithful and devout member of the Presbyterian church and has been one of the elders of the church here for years. The family life of Mr. Robertson has been a most happy one and on the occasion of his seventy-fifth an niversary he has the members of his family all living here to join him in the delightful event. Mrs. Robertson, who was formerly Miss Mary Hasse meier, daughter of one of the old time residents of Louisville, one son. Attorney William A. Robertson, three daughters. Miss Jessie M. Robertson. Mrs. Blanche Gamer and Mrs. Marie Westover. as well as several grand children are able to join in the pleas and occasion with the distinguished and kindly gentleman who is pass ing another milestone of life.

OUTBREAK AT WEEPING WATER From Monday's Daiiy There was an attack at Weeping Water last evening that resulted in one of the residents of that usually peacefully little city being brought here by Deputy Sheriff Schaus and lodged in the - county jail for such time that he would be brought -up for hearing. " " It seems that Douglas Cheek, who has for several years, served as the city marshal at Weeping Water, laid aside his official position Saturday evening and retired to private life and thereby hangs the tale of trouble that made neceseary the visit of the deputy sheriff. One of the residents of our neighboring city so it is claim ed, became" lit- iip on some beverage unknown, but' which filled him with war and he accordingly decided to seek revenge on Mr. Cheek and visit ing the Cheek borne took a large sized club that he hurled through the door of the residence and told what he intended to do with the dwellers of the house. The man was placed un der arrest and brought tun over to this city and where he will have his case aired in the county court. Mr. Cheek has ben succeeded in, his office by C- L. Dowler and who had something on his hands immediately after taking over the office in the sub doing of the irate citizen who had tried to secure vengence on his predecessor.
