The Plattsmouth Herali
SATURDAY, JANUARY
Kidnapped.
A cane of kidnapping- occurred
this morninp three miles wept of
Murray. At about 8 o'clock a man
presented himself at the barn of
Jones Sc Fitzgerald and asked for a
tram, telling them what lie wanted
it for to go and get his child out at
Dave Kuslcrholtz'H, and gave
them to understand that he was
going to get the child at any cost,
whereupon he was refused
the services of a team. He
then went to the stable
of C. W. Holme, but there he Baid
he wanted a team and a driver to
take him out to the farm of Ruster
holtz, three niilles west of Murray,
and to get him back lo Murray in
time to catch the Missouri Pacific
train south, and if he missed the
train at Murray to take him to
Union or Weeping Water, but he
did not tell them what he was go
ing for. He was accordingly
furnished a team and Cliff Bcnfer
was sent as driver. They leit
Platt-unou'.h a few minutes before
9 o'clock, arriving at the residence
of Dave Rusterholtz a little before
eleve.i.
The man who done the kitlknnp
ping is a soti-in luw of Mr. Ruster
holtz and father of the child, his wife
having dietl some time ago, and the
child in question has been making
her home with her grand parents.
The man drove up to the house; leav
ing the driver to watch the team,
lie went to the house and knocked
at the door. the door was
opened by one of the in
mates and he went in and
picking up the lii.le girl com
menced talking lo her. He then
looked up at the clock, remarking
that as it was so near dinner time
he would have the driver put the
team in the barn. He then opetied
the door, still having the little g'rl
in his arms, and stepped outs tie.
As soon as he got outside of the
house he staried on a run for the
buggy, putting. he child in without
any w.-apsori whatever, and ordered
the driver lo go ahead. Inorin.i
tion was at once brought here and
dispatches sent to Murray, Union
and Weeping Water, rioiifyingthem
of what had occurred.
C. W. Holmes says he cannot ac
count for the drirer running the
hordes , as Heuferhas bee 1 in his
employ for a long ' ime and was a
very careful driver. It issuppo-ed
thai the man had urtred li'iii to
whip up so he could catch the
train at Murray, and Benfer think
ing everything alright had done ;i
li ecled.

HIS PLAN FAILKtV
E-rertort Schlegel Disapproves of Hie
Sister's Lover and Tries to Whale
Him He Gets Badly Wonted
and Has His Conqueror
Arrested for
Assault.
The following from the Lincoln
News will be of unusual interest to
Mr. Everton Schlegel's friends in
this city:
"The assertion that lhecou-"se of
true love never did run smooth is
is exemplified once more in Lin
coln, the principals being well
known people. The case is not out
of the usual run of such ones,
where a handsome daughter falls
into love with a young man whose
qualities are not appreciated by the
young lady's parents and espec
ially by her big brother, who
swears dire vengeance upon the
head of the young lover, and starts
out with the determined intension
of pt'ttMig them into execution.
"The maiier is brought to l:gbt
by Ihe arrest of Ed Cass'dy, a
young man employed in the Lin
coln post office, who is charged
wiili assau'tand battery upon the
person of Kverton Schlegel, a son
of Alex Schlegel, a draughtsman, in
the emp'oy of the stale, and who is
well known at the capi.'ol bulld:ag.
The sioty as told to the police is
that Cassidy and Schlegel met a few
days since and a wordy baii'e
ensued, the laiier seriously object
ing to the former's at ,etil:on to his
sister. Hatred existed between the
two and blows fol lowed, alter each
had exhausted his flow of speech.
It is sa-d that young Sch'egel was
worsied in the fight, and that Cas
sidy struck the first blow, thereby
forming grounds for a case of as
sault and battery.
"The attachment wh'ch exists be
tween M .. Cassidy and Miss Schlegel
is of long standing and the oppo
sition of the parents apparently
o ly serves to increase fhea.Teciloa
and bind closer togeiher the loving
hear.s of the 3roung couple. It i
said that they meet by appo tment
at the homes of friend, where they
carry on their love iiiak:.ig arid are
said to be as happy as doves. On
several occasions the aid of an offi
cer has been involved to find then),
but to no avail, and the place of
their met'iiug j enia'us a secret lo all
save themselves.
"Cass;dy"s case has been set for
hearing by Judge lloiision at 9
"c'ock to-morrow morning, and
both sides w:ll probably be Ihere in
fo ce Jo conlest it bitierly and at
hat time new developments may
coni'i to light. It wou'd sem beiier
if such ma'iers we,e amicably ad
justed without going iii.o a police

An Old Se-'er Gone.
The editor of this paper received
a telegram last night bearing the
sad intelligence of the death of W.
W. (J u II ion at his home near Green
wood. We have written many
obituaries for publication, but
.lover before did words come so
slow to express our bereavement as
at this time. The deceased was an
une'e of the writer's and one we
ul'vays loved and was proud Jlo
serve. When the co'ds of relative
heart-strings are touched one can
then more vividly realize what
death means. And so it is with us
We but submit to the working of
the Great Ruler who doeth all
tiling well.
Deceased came to Cass county in
1854. and on the 14th day of June I
built a log house in Plattsmouth.
At that time there was but one
house in Plattsmouth a trading
house belonging to Samuel Martin.
He was the first elected constable
in Cass county. On the breaking
out of the gold excitement in 1858
Mr. Gullion went to Pikes Peak and
Denver, and for six years engaged
in freighting across the plains. In
1S79 he bought a large farm near
Greenwood, where he lived until
death claimed him on Wednesday,
Jan,' 20, 1892, at the age of 65 years.
He leaves a loving wife and two
sons to mourn their loss. Peace be
unto his soul. Klmwood Kcho.
Impressed as a Transport.
Philadelphia, Jan. 22 Shipping
circles were stirred up to-day over
a report that the government has
impressed the American line steam
er Ohio, to be used in case oi war.
The officers of the steamship com
pany admitted that the Ohio was
taken off a regular trip, but were
careful to say that she hae not been
chartered by the government.
From another reliable source it
was learned without doubt that the
government has exercised its right
to take possession of any merchant
vessel sailing under the national
flag for use when war demands it
and under this law has impressed
the Ohio.
JUSTICE BRADLEY DEAD.
Deaih Again V':s the Bench of the
U. S. Supreme Court.
Justice Bradley, of the United
States supreme court died yester
day mo-ning at 0:15.
Dur'ng the greater part of pre?
ent term of court lie was unable to

The funeral arrangements, in ac
cordance with the wishes of the
dead justice, will be quiet. Private
service wiH be held Sunday after
noon, at his late residence, and the
remains will (hen be taken to New
ark, N. J., where It e i.iterment will
take place Monday.
The supreme court out of respect
to the deceased, adjourned till Tues
day,
(Joseph P. Bradley was nearly
seven. y-nine yea-s of age, having
been born at Berne, N. Y. in 1813,
His great grandfather and his
grandfather se"ved in the revolu
tionary war and the war of 1012 re
sneciive'y. He was reared on the
farm, taught school, graduated
from Rutge.'s college, siud'ed law
and for many years was counsel for
the p.-'tic'pal ral'road and insur
ance compan'es of New Jersey. He
was a staunch un'on man and with
Justice S.iong, was appointed a
justice of t he supreme curt Febru
ary 7, 1878. He was a member of
the eVcioral cowm's"on in 1876.
H!s b?st known opi't'oos were
wr'.i'en in the legal tender, slaugh
ter house and civ'l rights cases.
Midnight Alarm.
Mr. A. Y. Pearson's melodrama,
"The Midnight Alarm," was pro
duced for the first lime in this city
at the Gaiety ope -a house last even,
ing. The theatre was crowded
f-om dome lo pit with an enthusias
tic and highly appreciative audi
ence, the largest of the season. The
play is decidedly sensational, but
at the same lime a first-class play,
quite up to date in every respect.
Uncommonly good scenery is pro
duced; the dramai "c situations are
numerous and powerful; the dia
logue is bright and sparkling; the
plot interesting and well-sustained,
and the audience is kept in a state
of e pect'ant inte-est throughout;
in fact, there is not one moment
when the piece drags. The com
pany is an cxceedingl' good one.
At the conclusion of the first act
the seal of popidar approval placed
on the performance as the curtain
fell, was by loud and long ringing
cheers, which were repeated again
and again during the evening-.
"The Midnight Alarm" is evident)'
going to draw well here all the
week; and thos'e who like a play
full of intense realism, well placed
upon the boards in every respect
should not miss the present oppor
tunity of witnessinglhis essentially
line production. Providence levell
