Joseph A. Connor Esq., went to
Omaha to-day, expecting to close a large
land "deal, Mr. Connor will, if the trade
is made, become the owner of 503 acres
near Omaha, worth fullv $300,000. He
applies in payment 8.000 acres of land
at $30. per acre the ballance $52,000.
Cash. Mr. Connor and Omaha are both
to be congratulated.
Judge Chapman says he has received
a summons to be present in Des Moines,
Iowa.on the 12th of October to attend
a reunion of the old "Hornet Nest" bri
gade, of which he was a member, and
which held the post of honor at Shiloh
That brigade was composed of the 8, 12,
14 and 17th Iowa infantry and the
meeting is promised to be a grand affair.
The Judge says just how he is to be in
Des Moines and hold court in Lancaster
county at the same time puzzles him,
but, he thinks ho will take the "Hornet
Nest" for a day or two anyway as it is
the onlv reunion the old brigade has
ever held.
Court Topics.
Before Judge Apelgate on Thursday,
the 29th inst. the two cases in which the
C. B. & Q. R. It. is plaintiff, and Cass Co
and School District No. one, defendants,
will be called. These are very important
cases involving the question. Whether
i.. the great iron bridge spanning the Miss
ouri river at this point shall be taxed by
the county as a bridge independent of the
main line :f road or whether it shall be
taxed simply as road-bed or in other
words, as any other mile or les3 of main
line track in Nebraska. This is an inv
Dortant ouestion and withholding com
ment for the present, until after the trial
The Herald has quite a curiosity to know
whether it is a bridge or simply common
rail road track.
Attending this term of court as jurors
we notice such representative men as Mr.
Lee Pollard and "Wilkinson of Avoca
.precinct. Mr. Bob Wilkinson of Weep
ing Water, S. M. Holden of Elmwood,
Nelson Jean and Charles Harris of Platts
mouth precinct and a number of other
a.
crentlemen whose names we cannot no x
recall. These gentlemen are representa
tive men of Cass county thrifty, prosper
ous farmers and business men and while
their private affairs may suffer some in
consequence of the very unpleasant busi
ness they are engaged m,away from home,
servincr the people of the county, it is
0 "
just such men who make safe, prudent
jurors, and The Herald 13 especially
clad to see them doing their duty which
comes but once in a long time. We have
heard flattering comments from the court
and bar, bestowed upon the present panel
' High school Notes.
The attendance which was somew hat
lessened last week by the fair and
bv muddv weather this week, is now
growing larger.
Notwithstanding the fact that several
more teachers were this year added to
the list, most of the rooms are some
what crowded.
Misses Faxon and Kilhoneck in the
west fourth ward have one hundred and
eight enrolled. Both teachers are work
ing in the same room: therefore their
work can not possibly progress so well
a? it will when the new room is ready
for occupancy.
Miss Ollie Mathews began work in the
Mercer school Monday, the 26th, with
nltr a Km all number enrolled. More
will attend in a few days.
Owing to the illness of Miss Etta
SearL Miss Hattie Latham is to teach in
No. 7 this week.
The Misses Eikenbarry and Nellie
Jones are among the new pupils this
year.
Many of the "old" pupils of ex.-No. 44
are not in attendance this term.

It is conceded by all that our coun

This was due chiefly to the skill and
efficient niunagem ent of the secretary, Mr.

doubt has them.

BROKE JAIL.
Four Prisoners in the City Depart
ment Depart.
(FROM TUESDAY'S DAILY.)
This morning when jailor Malick open
ed the jail and entered he was considerably
surprised at the condition of things. The
heavy lock on the city department of the
jail was gone, having been broken off,
and four of the prisoners, Jack Piersoll,
Frank Dickson, Thos. Shelby and Wm.
Packard, were not present, and the open
scuttle hole above told the way of their
escape.
The bars of the city part extend to the
ceiling and by means of these the prison
ers, after breaking from the inclosure,
easily reached the scuttle hole and thus
made their escape. The lock was large
and powerful and how the men succeeded
in breaking it is not exactly known, and
they took it and their tools with them.
Mr. Malick immediately notified the sheriff
and gave the alarm. It was at firsfr sup
posed they had boarded an early freight
and made a good escape but about 9
o clock this morning Piersoll turned up
and placed himself in the hands of the
officers and made a confession, ne came
in from Mr. Thomas' west of town and
said Dickson was there, but intended to
go to Stull'8 and get his clothing and
skip, and that the other two, Shelby and
Packard, had started on foot toward Ne
braska City, He also stated that they made
their escape from jail about 1 a. m.
At about 10:30 deputy sheriff James
Sage left for the country to look for
Dickson, and sheriff Eikenbary started
on a chase after Shelby and Packard.
1'iersoii ana uicKson were serving
out sentences and would have been liber
ated next Friday and Saturday, but Shel
by and I'acfcard were awaiting trial on
the charge of grand larceny,having stolen
hogs, in the west part of the county and
sold them in Lincoln. If caught, and
they probably will be if Piersoll told the
truth, the last two named will likely get
a term in the pen. Another prisoner in
the city department who was serving a
term which expired this morning, very
wisely remained in jail and waited for
the law to liberate him.
The escape of the men is due to the
carelessness of no one, and cannot be
blamed to any body, for the night watch
was discharged when the prisoners were
taken to Lincoln.
This is the first jail-break here of re
cent date and is of small calibre, com
pared to the one which was so nobly
foiled last summer when the iail was
crowded with criminals.
