Forward and ever and ever and ever
H.imtiel I. Gordon will draw pay because
he was once the police Judge of Omnha or
for the Fame length of time he will have
a care In the courts to collect that pay.
That practically was the Information given
out by his attortiev, Judge Kller, this morn
ing, nftfr the Judge had requested the su
preme court to put ovor the case fur the
present because he had been too ahk to
g-t ready for trial. This case In ques
tion was the one which was decided In
fnvor of the city against the Judge and In
the decision handed down concerning It,
the supreme court said that Gordon was
out and the case was settled for go. d
The case wssn't settled for good r bad
elUier be nuse It was not many days before
Judge F.Iler secured a rehrarlng. it is for
the salary of 1S01-2.
Judge Kller said Judge Gordon lias quit
holding mosquito court at the station, but
he Intimated that wojld not bar htm from
collecting salary right along as he had done
his best to break into the court room with
out success. The section or the. new
charter relating to the election of a pollc
Judge he said was bad and that Gordon
could not be ousted until the next legis

he was tired of the case, that the court
was and that the people were, but he did
not say he Intended to quit.
Setback for (imm Fight.
The fight for lower gas In Lincoln re
ceived somewhat of a setback at the coun
cil meeting last night when a report wag
adopted which was to the effect that the
compromise made in October. 1&X9, binds the
city to make no effort to reduce the price
of gas until September. 1906. The commit
tee appointed to ascertain the cost of the
manufacture of gas In Lincoln learned noth
ing. As an excuse for the backdown of the
council it was given out that President
Poherty had stated that he would reduce
the price of gas if It could be done without
It appearing that the company had been
forced to make the reduction.

matter Is Samuel B. Bobst of this city, who
settled with his parents near the west line
of the county on April 10, 1S, and is be
lieved to be among the first settlers of the
state. His father. Christian Hohst. was

Missouri river on the east to the Rocky

are still living near Dubois. "l'nc!e Tom"
Brown Is another of the interested one
who came westward a single man May r7,
1864, and erected a cabin nine miles south
wept on the farm which he still owns. He
is perhaps as well posted on the early his
tory of this region as any man now living,
and can tell many Interesting experiences
of pioneer life, when a white, face was
seldom seen within tho borders of the state.
In fact, when these parties first erected

Squire J. E. Frey nnd wife, who recently
celebrated their golden wedding anniver

have lived the fifty years In this section,
and both are still halo and hearty. Henry,
Prince and James Robertson are three sons
of Daniel Robertson, who came late In De
