B GASS COUNTY DISGRACED A Letter From the Prisoners in the Jail. TWO PRISONERS CHOKED. Condemns the Sheriff For Brutal Treatment and Poor Food The Sheriff Is Interviewed The following- article was re. ccived through the mails V wines day morning and thinking that perhaps it was wholly untrue, we sent a reporter to interview the sheriff and get the fact as near as possible. The following is all that could be gleaned. "Good morning Mr. Tighe, is there a man by the name of Jas. Morrison confined here," asked the reporter. "Yes. thers is." Could I see him a few moments. "I guess likely, are you a rela tion of his." "No sir, just a matter of busi ness." "What d' ye what to see him for, and who are your" the sheriff asked. "I am a Heram reporter sir; some kicks have been made at the oflice, and I was sent clown to see how much truth there was in it." "Well there ain't any in it " "How can you tell? I ha v n't told you what it was yet." "Well, I know there ain't what ever it is. What is the kick now'r" "This man Morrison claims that he and another inmate were chock ed and beaten." "Well, he gave some slack to the deputy, and I guess he did choke him a little." "Can I see the man? still presist ed the reporter. V "I'd rather not, go and see the county attorney, he will tell you all about it. If you'ragoin' to wield th' kudgel fer these drunken bums, yer not th' man I tuck y'u fer." "Yes," replied the reporter, "but understand me, Mr. Tighe if nil is well, an investigation will hurt no body." "I hain't no sympathy with 'em d n 'em. Look a here, I guess the officers of this country have a little authority left." "That is very true sir, but officers sometimes exceed their authority." "'Veil they hain't in this case, d u 'em, they didn't get half enough." "They kick also on their food, and say that the place is not clean." "It's a d n lie from begining to end, and if you'r goin' round to in vestigate fer these bums you'l be on yer feet most of the time." "Good day Mr. Tighe," and with that he went to the county attorney but found he knew nothing of the affair. We print the following, verbatim and if all is well it will not hurt, if not, it may do some good: 1'LATTSMOUTH. To the editor of Tub IlEKALf) Dear sir: I would ask that through kindness and hu manity you would publish in your paper wha't is barbarous and out rageous in a civilized community. There is seven men in the county jail who are suffering through the neglience and meaness of the sheriff. The filth and virment are beyond all pretenses tocivilization and the edibles are unendurable, there not being euough to keep soul and bady together. The bill of fare is always the same three times a day on week days, and twice on Sunday, it being made up of bread in great quantities and one-half cup of what is meant for tea. At dinner some meals we re ceive one n ioe potato. There are rive men being held here without any legal process nor even a pretense at justice whatever, simply because they know we have not the means with which to defend our rights. I arrived here on March 7th, and was met at the depot by an officer of the law, who inquired of me where I was going. I told li i tat, and lie told tne I had better go to the jail and stop over night, as I had not the means with which to get a bed. I came here and during the night two men who were con fined in jail escaped. The next morning the sheriff locked live of us in the cage, after which we were taken to the district attorney's oflice and examined. From there the sheriff took myself and a man named Coldice to an Isolated room in the top lloor of the court house and locked us in witli a man whom I have since learned was his broth er, a deputy sheriff, and another oflicer, where we were beaten and choked until black in the face, my neck being so badly torn that I hail to get medicine from the doctor and when I protested against such treatment the officer placed a revol ver at my head and told tne if I made any resistauce or outcry lie would kill me. I kindly ask you to publish this in the name of Immunity, that it may reach the ears of some good honest Christian citizen or citizens who will cause an investigaf'on. Hoping to hear irom this soon, I am, Kespect fully, JAS. Mokkisox. (The iititk'rsiKned lire mimes of inmate) ClIAS. Cor.DIC K, I'. P. DliN'KMOUK.S, Geo. McPheksox, P. II. SllOKT, Ned Smith, J. W. KOI'KK. We ought to be satisfied with this weather, we get it in all stages of preservation. Last Monday we were invited out to superintend the starting of Mr. C. Heisel's flouring mill on Wash ington avenue, and was shown all over the structure by the genial agent of Bernard & Lee Manufac turing company who has furnished the mill throughout. The expert took particular interest in trying to drill into us some idea of the intri cate machinery and the serpentine winding of the wheat in its strug gle to become flour. It is a very neat little mill and well furnished and is scheduled to grind forty bar rel of flour daily. It is furnished with six pairs of latest improved flour rolls, two pair of rolls for corn and feed, the latest improved "Cyclone" dust collector, a double wind belt purifier nod Barnard & Lee's new plansifter; similar to a mommoth hand sieve, of about a thousand pounds in weight, which is shaken by heavy machinery, deBcribmg a circle of four inches, and is used to separate the flour, in place of the old fashioned cloth bolt. We see no reason why Mr. Heisel cannot make a No. 1. grade of flour as the mill is furnished with the very best. Mr. L. Doering will wear the tooth pick and feel of the flour as it comes out of the burr. The mail Wednesday morning brought in a neat wedding card announcing the marriage of Mr. Henry F. Chapin and Miss Fanny A. Brown, of York. The wedding took place Tuesday morning, the twenty -first. The Hekald joins with your friends in wishing you joy and happiness.

The names weie then balloted and resulted as follows: S. A. Havis-LU Walter Thomas-11. C. S. Polk K. Messrs Polk and Davis were de clared nominees for school board.

A conirdence man who calls him self L. W. Uopr is now lying in the county jail. Be was arrested last week while attempting to pass some forged checks upon some of our business men. He claimed to be a stockman from South Omaha, and was out of money, but was loaded to the "guards" with checks given out by a cattle company in South Omaha which never existed. The charge lodged against him was obtaining money under false pre lenses, for as he company was never in existence, it could not be forgery. He was tried Tuesday, sentenced Wednesday, and will shortly be on his way to Lincoln, where he will sojourn for the next four years. Cass county is a hum mer when it comes to dealing with criminals. A switchman in the B. & M. yards by the name of Martin Hatick, came very near losinghis life while coupling cars one day last week. The engine was backing down to couple onto eight cars standing on the side track. Hauck, in trying to get the pin out, which had stuck fast, sleped in front of the couplar; the breakmau loosed the brake on the eight cars and tliey came slowly down the track and caught H auck just above the hips: he was terribly squeezed and yelled lustily for held, which attracted the atten tion of the enineer and the engine was quickly reversed and run away. Hauck says if it had not been for the snow on the track he would have been literally cut in two. Dr. Livingston attended him and he will be abble to go back to work again in a few days.
