With the growth and development
of the country in the decade from
1880 to 1890 his law practice grew
rapidly During the twenty five years
following 1SS0 he was connected with
much of the important litigation of
this vicinity and period The care
and research which he placed upon
the legal propositions he urged be
fore the courts soon made him one
of the leaders of the bar of Gage
county acknowledged to be one of
the ablest in the state and gave him
the confidence of the courts and the
respect of his professional brethren
He has given much of his time to
legal writing publishing in 1880
the Law of Replevin which had
been about two years in preparation
This work was well received by the
profession and was soon recognized
as the leading text book on this dif

I COBBEY FOR SUPREME JUDGE
m
The Express in common with
other citizens of Gage county is
pleased to learn that Hon J E
Cobbey is a candidate for a position
on the supreme bench of our state
Mr Cobbey was born in Missouri
where -his father was principal of the
Clarksville Academy in 1853 At
the close of the Civil War the father
found himself with impaired health
from hardships suffered in the union
army which made an outdoor life
advisable He settled on a small
farm in Benton county Iowa twenty
five miles from a railroad Here the
subject of this sketch grew up at
tending district school in the winter
and working on a farm in summer
When eighteen years of age he com
menced teaching school By teach
ing and farm labor he worked his
way through college and law college
He is a graduate of the scientific
course of the state college of Ames
Iowa and the Iowa college of law at
Des Moines iow a part of Drako uni
versity
In 1877 he settled tn Beatrice and
opened a law offiee Although active
in politics alwaya taking a deep in
terest in political matters he has
not been an office seeker
In 1877 he waa appointefi U S
Gonimissioner by the U S circuit
judge which position he still holds
being appointed by both republican
and democratic federal judges At
the present time the position is not
lucrative but it is a convenience to
federal olficers and others to have
a coimniisioner at this place
One term as county judge of Gage
county 1SS0 81 one term as city
attorney of Beatrice two terms on
the council of the same city and a
few minor positions cover his offi
rial life
He has always identified himself
ith the social life of this city be
ing a prominent member of the
Christian church different Masonic
lodges also U C T and Beatrice
AAAAAAAAAAAAH
holds A second edition was publish
ed in 1900
The Law of Chattel Mortgages
came from the press in 1893 This is
comprehensive and the only two vol
ume work evier published on this
subject
In 1S91 under legislative author
ity he prepared the statutes of the
state and in 1893 a second edition
This work was known as the Con
solidated Statutes The investiga
tion necessary for preparing it gave
him a vision of a better statute and
the work of gathering notes and ma
terial was at once commenced and
for ten years much of his time was
given in preparing the material for
this new statute which was first
published in 1901 as the Annotated
Statutes This work contains all the
statutory law of the state scientific
ally classified and arranged and
more than 30000 notes explaining
the text The publication of the
Annotated Statutes is still being con
tinued a new edition being publish
od after each legislative session
His statutes have attracted at
tention outside of the state The
commissions in prepariag new stat
utes in Wyoming Missouri and
Oklahoma followed some of its fea
tures In New Mexico a commission
of five appointed to select an oxpert
to prepare a new statute for the
prospective state after a careful ex
amination of the statutes of the dif
ferent states selected the Annotated
Statutes of Nebraska as the best
model and employed Judge Cobbey
to prepare these statutes giving him
unlimited authority to re word ex
isting statutes or draft new ones as
to him seemed best
During the year 1908 he was in
Santa Fe engaged on this work
which when completed was entirely
satisfactory This work involved not
only a thorough study of the com
mon law as calssified by Blackstone
and the statutes of the several states
based thereon but a study of the
civil law as classified by the Code
Napoleon and enacted into statutes
by the Latin nations New Mexico
up to 1846 recieved its law from
Spain through Old Miexico and this
civil law foundation influences the ap
plication and enforcement of subse
quent common law enactments This
experience gave Judge Cobbey a
broad and comprehensive knowledge
of statutory law He has frequently
been a contributor to legal journals
and law magazines
This experience in the different
branches of the law as practitioner
trial judge tex tbook auhtor law
writer compiler annotator and stat
ute draughtsman give to Judge Cob
bey a wide and comprehensive know
ledge of legal problems which with
his great capacity for work his
friends think eminently qualify him
for a position on the supreme bench

ESENCE OF MIND
May Make Heroes of Physical
Cowards In Time of Danger
NOT A MATTER OF COURAGE
It Is the Sudden Impulse That Moves
One to Do the Right Thing In an Un
expected Emergency A Soldier and
a Shell and a Man and a Murder
There is a distinction to be drawn
between presence of mind and cour
age Persons who naturally are timid
and nervous will in circumstances of
great danger and excitement perform
acts of heroism that would be beyond
their powers on ordinary occasions
We speak of these as instances of
presence of mind But if you ask
them tuny would tell you that an in
voluntary impulse rather than any
premeditated course of action guided
their will on the occasion Had they
time for reflection when all the threat
ening danger to themselves had be
come clear to their minds their nat
ural timidity of character would have
asserted itself and deprived them of
action
It is absence of fear that prompts
the soldier under a heavy Are from
the enemys guns to go to the assist
ance of a wounfled comrade and bring
him to a place of safety and nothing
in human nature can compare with
such self sacrifice But in times of
sudden emergency it is not always
the bravest who act with promptitude
The following story is an instance of
this
One of our transports was returning
from the PhiHppjnes with invalided
men and one morning at sea a group
of officers on the deck discussed the
subject of firing shells A soldier was
told by the colonel to bring an empty
sliell with a fuse The colonel took
the shell in his hands and striking a
match lighted the fuse - As this slow
ly burned and the colonel proceeded
with his address to the other officers
another soldier passed the group and
the moment he caught sight of the
shelf he rushed- forward exclaiming
Look out sir the shell is a live one1
Then ho did what never seemed to
haw same Into the miixfe of any in the
group of officers He seized the sbeH
out of the hands of the colonel and
threw it into the sea For this service
he was promoted The soldier who
had been told to bring an empty shell
had gone to the wrong magazine
Those who talked with the man touch
ing this incident say that he repudi
ated any idea of having done a brave
thing I dont kuow he said what
made me seize the shell out of the
colonels hand but it came suddenly
into my mind and I did it It is this
wave of unconscious thought which
constitutes true presence of mind This
will come to people of nervous and
even cowardly natures
There is of authentic record the case
of a man known to be utterly deficient
of courage who saved himself from a
very awkward situation by an exhibi
tion of real presence of mind He was
an Englishman and lived in a town in
the midlands where he was an organ
ist Late one evening he was returning
home through some of the back streets
which at that hour were more or less
empty of people As he went along
however he noticed some distance
ahead of him a man and a woman
walking side by side the mans arm
being around the womans neck Just
under a street lamp the couple stop
ped for a moment when the organist
heard a piercing scream and saw the
woman slowly falling from the mans
arms Almost before she had reached
the ground the man darted away
down a side street and disappeared
When the organist came up to the
woman he found to his horror that
she was lying in a pool of blood His
first impulse was to run away and get
clear of the terrible scene but his bet
ter feelings prevailed and he knelt
down beside the poor woman to see if
he could do anything for her When
he raised her head he found she was
quite dead with her throat cut from
ear to ear Reside her ou the pave
ment lay a blood stained razor
The organist was overwhelmed with
horror Before he could collect him
self a group of people had gathered
and presently he heard expressions
such as He did it I tell you I saw
him Theie is the razor The fiend
Where are the police Hand him
over It was certainly a very awk
ward position as the rough character
of the people might tempt them to
take theMaw into their own hands and
use him very badly The arrival of a
policeman seemed to steady his nerves
for a moment and then came a wave
of inspiration that might tridy be call
ed presence of mind no seized the
dead womans wrist and pulling out
his watch went through the form of
feeling her pulse Then he put his
hand over her heart and turning to
the policeman said as calmly as lie
could I am sorry to say that I can
be of no further service here The
poor woman is quite dead There is
no action in the heart or the pulse
In an instant the murmurs of the
crowd changed and he heard Ties
the doctor on all sides This was his
opportunity and slowly rising and
affecting to be in no hurry he passed
through the crowd who made way for
him But wheu he got clear of the
street and came to the first turning he
took to his heels and ran for all he
was worth The cowardly spirit got
the better of him in the end He
heard the next day that the murderer
bad gone straight to the police station
and givn himself up New York
