Free Delivery for Cass County.
Wednesday's Bee says: Congressman
Burkett has planned to establish a
system of free rural mail routes which
will include every farmhouse in Cass
county. A meeting of all postmasters
of the county will be held today and
the various routes, about twenty in
number, will be mapped out at that
time. Mr. Burkett has conferred with
William E. Annin, special mail route
agent for twenty-one western states,
and he has received assurances from
that official which warrant him in per
fecting his plan. Scattering routes
have been established In nearly all
the eastern counties, but no county
has been covered by so complete a
system as that proposed for Cass
county.

Culled From the Courts.
The case of the state vs. Clias. Sitz
man, charged with shooting with in
tent to kill and with intent to wound
George A. Tease, was tried in district
court on Tuesday. This is the case
wherein Pease was shot in the mouth
during a disturbance at a dance at
the Burlington house several weeks
ago. At the preliminarj- hearing the
defendant admitted having done the
shooting, and at the trial on Tuesday
it was shown that Pease had created
a disturbance at the dance by turning
the faucet in a keg of beer, allowing
the beer to run out on the floor, and
that he had gone outside and thrown
a brick through the window. During
the progress of the trial one of the
jurors. Wm. Kunz, was taken sick,
and by agreement the case was tried
to a jury of eleven. The case was
given to the jury Tuesday evening,
and they deliberated until Wednes
day night at 11:00 o'clock, when they
compromised on a verdict, finding the
defendant guilty of assault and bat
tery.
Under the new election law judges
and clerks of election are appointed
by the clerk of the district court, And
serv'ce is supposed to be compulsory.
At the late election several of the
judges and clerks failed to serve for
various reasons, and District Clerk
Houseworth as required by law issued
summons for Charles Philpot, of Mt.
Pleasant precinct; Charles Kleiser, of
South Bend precinct; C. D. Kuntz, of
Stove Creek precinct; F. Devore, of
Greenwood precinct; E. K; Reese, tf
Salt Creek precinct: and Geo. Tartsch
of the fourth ward in riattsmouth, to
appear before Judge Douglass and
show why they should not be lined for
their direlection. But one of the
parties summoned appeared in court,
and he answered that he was a candi
date for office in his precinct, and was
therefore ineligible to serve on the
election board. This answer was
placed on file, as will also be done in
the other cases should the parties care
to give the matter any further atten
tion. The case of Joe Messina vs. Mrs.
Rosa Pappe, wherein the plaintiff sued
for damages caused by slander, was on
trial in district court, on Wednesday.
It appeared that the defendant had
said that the plaintiff "was to receive
$40 for swearing to a lie" in a case be
tween defendant and her husband.
The case was so pointless and trivial
that the court ordered the iurv to
find a verdict for the defendant.
Mrs. Christena Barr and her dutiful
son Ward had another inning in Jus
tice Archer's court to effect a settle
ment regarding a board bill amount
ing to $19.75, which plaintiff claims is
due her from defendant. The B. & M.
railroad was indebted to Ward for
work, and was garnisheed. A settle
ment has been agreed to between the
the parties, whereby the amount will
be paid the plaintiff and the case
settled today.
On complaint of E. II. Klaus, Ben
Hyde was arrested on Monday charged
with disturbing the peace. At his
hearing on Tuesday the testimony
showed that the Klaus and Hyde
families occupy a double house near
the B. & M. shops, where both men
are employed. On Sunday the chil
dren and women of the two families
engaged in an altercation of some sort;
in which the heads of the two houses
became Involved. After hearing all
the particulars Judge Archer in a few
well chosen words advised all the

parties to dwell hereafter in peace and
harmony, and dismissed the case.
Charles D. Cummins, by his at
torney D. O. Dwyer, has commenced
an action against the Peoples Building
Loan and Savings Association in
Justice Archer's court, to recover$200
the value of two shares of stock in the
association which was assigned to the
plaintiff by Mrs. Sallie Thomas. R. B.
Windham was supposed to have some
funds belonging to the association in
his possession, and he was accord-
iuglo garnisheed, but when he ap
peared in court to answer it was de
veloped that he had no property of the
association in his possession, so that
recovery by that process was defeated.
Flora McLane and Ethel McLane,
two little girls, daughters of Mrs.
Julius Iiamge, were in police court on
Tuesday afternoon, charged with dis
turbing the peace. It appeared that
the girls had found much amusement
in throwing mud at Mrs. Christena
Barr, who caused their arrest. After
the parties had indulged in considera
ble mud-slinging, Judge Archer con
tinued the case indefinitely and al
lowed the girls to go free, after giving
them a lecture on their future deport
ment. Another Abandoms Her Child.
The little village of Eagle had a
mysterious case of child abandonment
last week, when a two-week's-old girl
baby was found on John Summer's
porch on Saturday morning. The
mystery was finally cleared up on
Sunday morning, when a Mrs. Cole
confessed to having left the child there.
She arrived in Eagle on the 11:00
o'clock train Friday night, and went
to the hotel, asking to be called at 4:00
o'clock the next morning. The land
lord called her at this time, and she
left the hotel with the baby, which
she took down to the Sumner home,

Telephone Franchise Laid Over.
The Plattsmouth Telephone com
pany has not j-et secured a franchise
from the city of South Omaha to al
low them to enter that place. At a
recent meeting of the city council up
there the telephone matter was
brought up and a lively time was had,
some of the counci 1 men f a vori ng grant
ing the franchise, while other members
of the council and the mayor vigorous
ly opposed it. A petition signed by
several hundred business men and tax
payers, asking that the Plattsmouth
company be refused a franchise, was
presented to the council, but no defi
nite action was taken, the matter be
ing laid over until the next meeting.
The Nebraska company is making a
desperate fight to keep the independ
ent company out of the South Omaha
field, and from indications will be suc
cessful, leaving the people of that place
at the mercy of the old company In re
gard to rates and tolls. A new ordi
nance is to be drafted, which will no
doubt Impose impossible and unprofit
able conditions upon the independent
company.

On motion of J. I. Falter, seconded
by J. W. Cox, the following resolution
was adopted: We, the board of health
of Cass countj-.J'eb., have met this
8th day of November, 1901, at riatts
mouth, Xeb., and adopted the follow
ing rule: That all practicing physi
cians in the county shall report all
cases of contagious diseases outside of
incorporated towns and villages, to the
county clerk, or any member of this
board. It will then be the duty of
this board to see that a quarantine is
placed at once. Only In case of dis
agreement shall the physician of this
board determine the nature of the
disease. When two members of the
board of county commissioners shall
order the physician of this board to
determine in case of a disagreement,
he shall receive as compensation there
for the sum of $20. It is also ordered
that the county clerk notify all
practicing physicians of the county
that in all cases of contagious diseases
outside of incorporated towns and
villages they must report t lie same
to this board within twenty-four
hours under penalty of the law.
The county attorney was instructed
to foiclose on lot 53, south half of the

Death of Timothy Clark.
The old residents of this vicinity and
pioneers of early days in Nebraska have
been passing away during the past few
months very rapidly. Mr. Timothy
Clark, who was in his eighty-second
year, died Monday night at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. George Woods,
one-half mile south of town, where he
has made his home since the death of
his wife, six years ago.
Mr. Clark has been very feeble for
two or three years, and about ten days
before his death while out in the yard
he fell and broke one of his hips. The
shock proved too great for his feeble
conditon, and he passed peacefully to
his reward Monday night after being
in an apparent sleep since Friday
morning.
Mr. Clark came to this county thi rty
two years ago. He served one term as
county commissioner several years ago.
Besides his daughter Mrs. Woods, he
leaves two sons, Attorney Byron Clark
of Plattsmouth, and Thomas who is
located in the west.
The funeral was held at 2:00 o'clock
at the house on Wednesday, and the
interment was made at Oakwood ceme
tery. Weeping Water Republican.
Council Concludes to Quit.
At the meeting of the city council
on Monday night the clerk was In
structed to notify the Plattsmouth
(Jasand Electric Light company that
the city wished to terminate the
present contract with them in sixty
days, as the contract provides. But It
is quite probable that before that time
a receiver for the light business will
be appointed by theJUnited States
court, as asked for by the bond-holders.
There appears to be a great deal of
skulduggery going on in regard to this
matter, and it begins to look as though
a determined effort was being made by
certain parties to force the city to
surrender the light business at an
enormous loss. The city has already
lost nearly $10,000j In operating the
business, and is very favorably situat
ed to lose several thousand more. The
city Is in a position to force a settle
ment whereby a portion of this loss
can be avoided, by refusing to enter
into any contract for the further use
of street lights, and it is up to the
council to protect the Interests of the
city by turning on the screws.
