Tno active canvass which Judge Scott Is
making for the republican nomination tor
congress has very naturally made him the
subject of discussion not only among actlvo
politicians , but among all classes of people.
Many of our older clti/ens hnvo known of
lum while ho wiw a resident ot Council
IJIufts nnd other places in Iowa. A largo
majority of our people , however , know very
little of Scott's curoor prior to his recent
deration to the district Judgeshlp.
Jiidgo Scott , or "Coionol" Scott , as ho
called himself , located lu Omaha nboul IfeSO
or IbsT and entered upon the practice of law
with hero nnd there a dip Into real estate
speculation , llo did not became prominent
onoiiL'h to attract attention unill last fall ,
whun ho became noisy and ofllciously fussy
nl Heal Estate Owners nssoclutlon meetings
nnd I lied to make a splurge Dy championing
the pioposcd location of the uutlounl republi
can convention nl Oinulia. Ho had himself
selected us envoy oxtruoidlnnry to thn lowu
nnd Colorado conventions , und when , llnully ,
lending citl/ens succeeded in raising tbu
guaranty bond and necessary funds to do-
Irny the expenses of tno uxcurslon , Colonel
Scott hud himself appointed us chlof nnd solo
fcpokesmau to advocate Omaha's claim before
the t.utlonal republican committee. Ills per
formance nt tbo national capital nnd his
famous vlsitto the white house brought the
"colonel" Into n great deal of notoriety and
Omnhii Into udlculo and ulsroputo.
But this Is putting the curt before the
horse. The "colonel's" ' Judicial campaign
\\bich preceded the tour to Wusbington
wus unique. Taking advantage of the gon-
crul discontent ubout the court house clique
und city hall ring the colonel mounted tno
rostrum on tbo high norse of Americanism
and patriotism. Ho raised the rallying cry of
rolonn nnd made himself particularly con
spicuous ns a champion of tbo stars and
stripes. His battlerry was "tho American
Hug , " und ho"wiivcd the rod , white and blue
on the stump with n fervor thnt Impressed
everybody with the conviction that the
colonel had fucca the shot and shell of the
rebels and lived on bard tack and sow belly
from tinduy Fort Sumtor was llred upon up
to the surrender of Appomattox.
Tito Colonel's \Viir Ituuord ,
The colonel's wnr record Is , however , not
quite as glorious and bloody as most ot his
ndmlrers hnvo believed It to bo.
If you nsk nny old-tlino resident of Ann-
mosii or Jones county , lown , "Do you know
Colonel Scott ! " no will Invnrmbly answer ,
"I know C. H. Scoot , but whore In the devil
did ho got tno title of colonoU" nnd then bo
will go on to toll you all ubout the raising of
a company/or / soldiers in Anumosn early In
1601 und Swlt's part in the patriotic move
ment.
Scott reached Annmosn early m January ,
1601 , from Tlpton , In. , where he had resided
n short tiiiio.havinir also lived n while at Kco-
KUk. Evciythlng wns war tali : at that tlmo ,
und Scoll was soon recognized as tno most
bitter partisan. Ho leroclously assailed
every man who was not ns enthusiastic as
lie was.
Major b. S. Farwoll of Anamosn , who re
cently represented his district in congress ,
was ono of the entbusiastlo men who was
llrst to take nn actlvo part m the work nf
equipping n company of Jones county
soldiers lor the army. Ho found n valuable
assistant In Mr. Scott , who was wildly en
thusiastic In the cause. Thcso men and
another prominent republican and abolition
ist started i'.i to ralso thoJonos county com
pany. Mcotts were held at various places
in tno county , und tno loyal sentiments ox-
-uciRCd by the movers In the cause
found response in tbo loral hearts of
tbo .vcomen of Jones county , and n
company was secured In very short order.
At these meetings no other -man went so fnr
ns Scott in bitter denunciation of tbo so-
cedor-i and In passionate appeals to thu men
of the north to rally to tbo defense of tbo
Hag und the union. It Is remembered by n
Judge of the district court , a congressman ,
nud many other citizens of the county that
In one of bis speeches Scott stated that bo
owned n limn near Anamosa and his homo in
the city , nil bo bad on earth , and that bo
would gladly give all that for ono good she
oln real live lobol.
This nil sounded very patriotic nnd the
men thought that Scott was un-
BoltlBlily patriotic and was willIng -
Ing to give bis Ufa and bis
property for his country's salio , but they soon
found out differently when it was announced
llru Scott wanted to bo elected captain of
the company , notwithstanding the fact that
bo wus a comparative stranger In the county ,
nnd that all of tbu talk on tbo subject had
boon In favor of ono of tha oldest residents
of Jones county for the position. If Scott
couldn't ho captain ho was willing 10 take
tbo place ot llrst lieutenant nl the company ,
and so carried on n vigorous campaign , to got
the llrst place if ho could , nnd the second a t
Bay rate.
Ills rntrlotlitnt Oozoil.
When the election of olllcors came Soott
\vas sadly disappointed. E. O. Alderman ,
now n resident of California , was ohoson
cnpinln by un almost unanimous vote , and
one of bcott's hopes had gone glimmering.
But there uaa the lieutenancy to bo IHIed
nnd Scott wns sura to got that , aud hud de
cided to bo satisfied , fooling , perhaps , that
bis murltcd military qualifications would
inaliu liu promotion a matter of a very short
tlmo. If them were nny votes for Scott for
llrst lieutenant no ouo now remembers
nnyihlpg about it.
From thnt hour Scott's patriotism began
toooie. llo aeon got by tbo point ot want
ing to give all of hl oaitbly possessions for
ono good shot at a rebel , ana wlion the com
pany wns ready to start for tba field bo dU
covered that bo wus very badly handi
capped by a cnso ot inflammatory rheu
matism that bad not troubled him any be
fore his defeat for tin ofllco In the company ,
"Col. " Scott snvs thnt Captain Alderman
told him thill he bad better stay at homo and
Itoop his family from starving instead of
going to the army and leaving them ut home
without the necessities of life.
Tno question was put plainly to Major
Fnrwull : "What do you understand was
the reason that Scott did not go with tbo
company that no was EO enthusiastic about
raising1 ! and thn Mnjoi replied : "It wns
guncially understood thnt Scott would not
fjo unless bo cculd bo made captalu or llrst
lieutenant of thu company , an endorsement
tbht the bo.vs refused to glvo him. "
"Scott says , " u was further stated to the
major , "that ho had Inflammatory rbou
jnatlam , " .
"I nuvcr heard of Scott's inflammatory
rboun.a'.lsm until after ho bad boon defeated
forun oftli'e in the company. "

ment to thn Aniimoun people.

Although Colonel Scott was a noncoinbat-
nnt stiiy-ut-homu patriot during the wnr , ho
\\asdcildodlv belligerent us n man nf peace.
An Annmosa paper relatCH ouo Incident that
exhibits the colonel's ' explosive tendencies.
' "When Judfie Yules wus circuit judge hero
S In the MiO'n , " says thn Anamosa pauer , "Law-
'yur ' Scott'b ' conduct wns so unmanly , so hein
ously insolent , that Judge Yutca ono day
during thu trial of a ease threatened
to line him for contempt of court.
As soon us court uat > adjourned Lawyer
Scott rushed up to the Judge's destc
ns that gentleman wus rising to
leave the court room und slinking bis flats
under the Judgu's nose applied to him the
incut villainous epithets , thioatoned to knock
him down , und probably would have done so
but for the Interference of other lawyers ,
Judpa Votes was a puay man lu poor beam
nnd unable to defend himself , and in vluwol
the luot that the Judge's conduct bml been
dlgnlted und courteous Lawyer Scott's bluff
and his uncontrollable rage were contempt !
bio and cowardly. The members of tno bur
lioro wcto uuoulinouj in the opinion tba
Lawyer Scott bud made un ass and n foot o
tiuutelf aud the next morning the gentleman
presented himself In court aud publicly
npologlted to Judge Yules. "
Judge label wus another district cour
Judge who was tbo object of one of Scott's
iiuulllnp uttucks. Scott und Judge Siopy
Vow of itio district bjuvb , were trying a case
7
'OforoJudgo ' libel. There were no short-
mud reporters In those days and the nttor-
lev * were required to furnish their own nb-
tracts of thn evidence. Swill hud prepared
i bill of cxcnruions to certain evidence , nnd ,
ccordtnt * to Judge Staer , warpad the ovi-
lonco in such shape thnt his abstract re-
lactod upon Judaa Stacy's voMcilv and upon
his abstract of the ovidonco. Judge Staov
naturally protested nnd called the attention
of the court to the unfairness of Scott's
position. Judge label examined Scott's bill
ind , holding tha document In bis band , sild :
'I think , m } self , that you nro rubbing it on
pretty thlcn , Mr. Scott , and should modify
jour bill. "
Scott Immediately ( low Into one ot his char
acteristic paroxysms of rage , nnd , springing
'orwnrd , snatched the bill ho had prepared
'roni the Judge's hand. Ho stood a moment ,
glarlngnltliocourt.nnd then tore up the paper
nnd throw It In the wastobasKct , exclaiming
hatho'n bo Uamnodtf ho wanted nny bill of
ixccpllons If ho could not got ono that was
'air. Judge libel was ono of the best-
luturcd roon on the bench , nnd ho simply
auirhod nt Scott's insane insult nnd re-
narked that ho had no Intention or doslro of
irovontlng Scott frum having a bill of oxcep-
ions , but would Inststthathasbould present
nn honest ono It ho o ( To red nny , and that ho
should not garble the evidence to bolster up
us cnso. Seott wns too nngrv to tnko the
udtfo's Kindly treatment of the Insult of-
ored , nud roiuscd to make oat a now bill on
the line suggested by the court.
A linllr , u ICovoljor , n Itotrcnt.
But Scott did not got off so onslly in all
his attacks upon people with whom'bo hod
dealings. Ho wns trvlnp n case in ono of
: ho juqltcocourts In which the opposing at
torney was n Inwver named Koeler. During
the trial Scott made n vicious attack upon
ICoolcr , twitting him upon the report that
was current in Anamosa of his domestic
.roubles. ICcolordid not immediately resent
.ho insult nnd Scott repeated it. Then
[ Cooler muko a reply that reflected upon
Scott's private life nnd the wnr was on.
Scott sprangntlCoolor with a drawn knife
nnd attempted to stab him , The bluft.dldn't
work. Koolcr drew n revolver und
chased the flrcoating "r.olonol" out of the
court room and down the stairs.
In another Instance Scott was trying a
case botoro a justice of the peace four miles
out from An'unosa nnd inndo n speech in toh
cnso thnt kept the court In session until
ionrlv midnight. In his address hn was so
Tearfully abusive that the interested parties
.n the cnso gathered in n mob nnd wanted to
.ynch him , and would have probably effected
.heir purpose bad not 3cott's friends got
him away from tbo place. ,
Soon after Scott reached Anamosa ho
bought a house nnd lot. It was his Intro
duction to tbo town , nud ho had a light with
tbo man from whom ho had purchased the
proportj. Ho bad agreed to pay for the
( ilaco In Bank of Ohio bills , but after the
jcod had been made out Ssott refused to
fulfill tnts part of the contract and onmo to
blows with tha man who sold the property.
The result of the mill was that Scott's
friends hnrdlv recognized him for n few
dav. Ho wns beautifully thumped , but
didn't resent the attack , but tool : his whip-
Ing and then want to the court house aud
Hied the deed that bo hud secured by n mis
representation , in the manner of paying for ,
at least.
During Scott's resldo-ico in Aunmosa ho
was u neighbor of u well known merchant
who is still In business there , and Scott used
to use tbo store of his friend as a lounging
place in thoovoiiingwben baxvas doivntown.
1'ho merchant's BOH , who was n rnoro boy ut
that time , has a very vivid recollection of
Scott. In speaking of it , bo said : "Scott
used to como into tba little room In the rear
of my fatbor's store very often in the evenIngs -
Ings , and lie there on a lounge nnd tell
stories with the other men who would visit
the store. 1 remember Scott particularly ,
because of bis habit of swearing so much.
The men would get Into nu argument with
Scott , and somebody would cross him and
then bo would turn loose. Such torrents of
profauitv nnd abuse I have never hoard
since. Scott would fairly foam at the mouth
and swear until I would shudder to boar
him. Very often bo would want to flgut.aud
wo had to close tba room up and use it for
other purposes , as Scott's loud talking and
profanity wcro injuring the trade at the
stoio. "
It will bo claimed , probably , by Scott and
his friends that only bis enemies In Anumosa
were questioned concerning his career in
town. Such is not tbo c.iso. More than
Jiftyof the old residents of the town who
know Scott were Interviewed and the result
cannot bo better epitomized than by quoting
the language uf a former law partner of the
'colonel ' , " who said :
"When Scott loft Anamoaa bo had not a
friend in the city. Ho had boon in politics
some , but was hs dead as 11 doornail at the
time end could not have been elected ns con
stable of n justice court. Ho bail assaulted
with his tongue or his fist nearly every judge
and attorney In tbo county und had quar
reled with tbo merchants and his clients
until bo had no Inw business and simply had
to leave the place. " Not a man wns found
in the town who bad a good ward to offer in
Scott's behalf.
In Council IllunX
Colonel Scott's career In Council Bluffs
va almost u repetition of what
it had bcon la Anamosa , with a tow varia
tions.
The grand Jury of the district court ot Pot-
tawattainlo county , Iowa , bad business with
C. K. Scott during the uprlng term of court
In 1873. As u result of tbo mooting a true
bill wns found by the grand jury returning
nn indictment uguinst Scott for murderous
assault on O. F. Montgomery , his former
law partner. The case was continued on the
docket and finally dismissed.
Scott was also sued by a widow named
Richardson nnd convicted of slander , with u
line of $150 and costs. It was s good whllo
before tbo Judgment was paid. Scott haunted
tbo ofllco of the attorneys for the widow for
several months and made n determined and
persistent effort to Induce them to tlirow oft
$ IUO of the judgment. The lawyers wore not
easily influenced , however , and insisted upon
the payment of the judgment in full , and
Scott finally met the obligation when tbo
payment could be no longer deferred.
A well known linn of Council Bluffs at
torneys defended Scott lu hid case with tbo
widow , and also In his trouble with his for
mer law partner , Montgomery. This firm Is
still waiting for its fees for services lu those
cases.

Political ! } . Scott has always been awoath-
ervnno. Ho started out as n republican , but ho
has fought republican candidates from the
lowest nlmost to thn highest. The lust politi
cal tight ho made In Iowa wns against
Judge Heed , the republican candldato
for the supreme bench.
Like every other question with which bo
was uilxcu up while In the HlulTs , Scott took
both Aides on tbo prohibition issue , In an en
deavor to keep lu a popular position. To
start with , bo was a rank prohibitionist , and
nfter tha coustltutlonal amendment bad been
declared unconstitutional by the Ion a state
supreme court Scott jumped upon that
august body roughshod and roundly abused
and berated it for its decision in the ease.
Ho wus exceedingly bitter In tits denunciation
ot the court , and his statements on thu
street reflected seriously on tbo fairness ,
probity nnd character of thosupiemo bench.
That was whllo bo still thought that the
pcoplo were really In favor of the law , nnd
ho seemed to bellovo thnt the louder bo
Howled the moro solid bo would become with
the great majority. But when ho saw how
obnoxious the law ivas to tbo people of the
litutls there came n radical change tu bis de
meanor. Ho apparently forgot In a single
mlnuto nil ho luiJ sola ubout tbo supreme
court nnd bis denunciation of tbo nntl-prohl-
bitlonlsts , and bo began to talk loudly nnd
long of tbo Impossibility of enforcing tbo
law , und In this manner endeavored to again
curr.v favor with the many whom hla pro

scraps with lawyers nnd Judges. Ho gets
