OFFICE No. 112, South Sixth Ktiikkt Vol !ume TxxTl I PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1903, Number 43 Searchers Disappointed. Tlie riatUmouth correspondent of the Omaha Bee In responsible fur the following story: "Away lack In the 70s and up Into the 80s an old fellow by the name of Ia? Is made hU home In the woods on the east side of the rlrer about m Id way between Omaha and riatUmouth, living In nothing more than acorn mon canvas tent the year around In com pany with several large and savage dtgs. Little wm ever known of him eicept rumors to the effect that at otie time he was a pi rate on the high seas or a train robber, who having eluded the grasp of the law had settled down to enjoy hU iUgotten gains. Sev eral times when visited by hunting and fishing' parties he became quite talkative and showed many watches and rings of curious design and work manship, of both gold and silver, which more than ever led to the belief that he was a f ree hooter. "Some years later he disappeared, leaving no trace of himself of wherea bouts, and many who knew him have no doubt forgotten of his ever having existed. Hut not toawaken the mem ories of years gone by, comes the report that a party of bee hunters in chop ping down a tree of mammoth propor tions in the thickest part of the tim ber where he was located discovered what is suppose' im have been his strong box ror l 1 treasures, the tree trunk about four feet from the ground having been carefully cleaned out and lined with sheet iron, making a most acceptable place for his wealth and one not easily discovered. The opening or door to. the hiding place was skillfully concealed and worked like a sliding panel and would never have been dis covered, only as it was, by accident. Nothing now remains of it except the hole in the tree and the battered sheet iron, the excited searchers for wealth having chopped the place to pieces. Nothing was found except several pieces of paper which at one time formed achartof some kind, but which are too decayed by age to be deciphered." Dr. Hans Jensen Appointed. Governor Mickey has appointed Dr. Hans Jensen of Weeping Water as one of the of corps veterinarians to assist State Veterinarian Thompson. There are sixteen such appointments in the state. In the face of Dr. Thomas' state ment that in 1'JOl there died in this state of disease more than 10,000 sheep, 14,000 horses, 84,000 head of cattle and 200,000 head of hogs, the legislature re fused to provide money to pay the ex penses of assistants. These assistants appointed by Governor Mickey aresim ply honorary frm the fact that no money was provided by the last legis lature. However, under the law they are allowed per day for services actually performed. This is, to say the least, a recognition of Dr. Jansen's qualifications. . Judgment for $5'000 Sustained. Attorney Matthew Gering, counsel for plaintitl in the matter of An tone Skoumal vs. Cudahy lacking company, which had been taken to the United States court of appeal by defendant, received a telegram Tuesday announc ing the fact that the judgment of the lower court had been sustained. Mr. Gering has just cause to be highly ela ted over his achievement, as well as 3Ir. Skoumal, also. For several years the plaintiff resid ed in this city, but in 1801, while in the employ of the Cudahy Packing com pany at South Omaha, met with an ac cident that resulted in the loss of one of his eyes. Suit was brought by Skou mal, through Mr. Gering in the district court at Omaha to recover damages, and was given a judgment for the sum of 3,000. The company took the case to the United States court of appeals, with the above result. firs.

Within a few days after this ar rangement, and a ttout nine o'ciock in the evening.a telephone message came to me from the agent of M. P. Ry. Co.. at Weeping Water that Shepard had broken into the depot at that place and liad opened the outer -door of the safe and was engaged in attempting to pick the lock to the inner door when discovered; that the man had either left town or was hiding there some where, and a request was made mat the man be prosecuted. I telephoned to the lail for the sheriff, and after some consultation, it was agreed he would arrange for two men to watch Shepard's bouse that night, while he should go to Auburn, as it was known Shepard had an intimate friend at that point wno nan neipea mm. wnen he was in trouble before. The sheriff went on the late train that night to Auburn: two hack hire charges were made in going from the depot up town Arrested On an Old Charge. A young man named Edward Claus, who has been employed in the B. &M. shops for some time, was arrested in this city Sunday and taken to Burling ton, Iowa, on a charge of seduction, said to have been committed two or three years ago. Tlie chief of police of that city came after the prisoner, ar riving with requisition papers from Governor Mickey, and took Claus to Burlington. Claus has a wife and an infant child in this city, and it is hoped by his friends that he has been wrongfully accused. He -has borne a very fair reputation in this city. "Picking" for Plattsmouth Nitnrods. O. E. Farnham, William Connett, R. L. Kirk ham and R.O. Fellows par ticipated in four hours of sport in shooting duck at the Indian crsek res ervoir the first of the week, and as a result a mixture of mallard, gray duck, teal and butter duck to the number of twenty-eight were picked off, five of which were not bagged, owing to the wide expanse of water and the lack of a dog or boat. Belle Fourche (S. D.) Northwest Post. Hasonlc Officials la Town. George W. Linigar, president of the Masonic Home association, accompan ied by Frank E. White, William Cleve land and Robert E. French, trustees of the Home, were in Plattsmouth Tuesday for the purpose of viewing the property recently purchased from Mr. White by the association. The work of repairing the building is still going on, and it is expected that it will be formally opened in a few weeks. Important Roticc. - To the Ladies of the Plattsmouth Woman's Club: It is very important that we know exactly our member ship the coming club year. Will all ladies intending to unite with the club, please send in their names this week to the corresponding secretary (Mrs. F. K. Wise) or to the president, with the annual dues of $1,00, and receive their membership card. We can then be ready to begin our work properly and in order. Respectfully, Mrs. L. A. Moork, Pres'dent Plattsmouth Woman's Club. Read Hayden Bros, ad In this paper. a considerable distance, to find -the night police and arrange for watching for Shepard should he return, and re t urn to the depot, so sheriff might rei turn the same night to Plattsmouth. Notices were sent by wire, 'phone and letter to the near-by officers asking for the apprehension of Shepard. The sheriff returned early next morning. He went to Weeping Water later, and also to Lincoln on some Information tending to show Shepard was either there or at some Intermediate station. Just tlie exact amount of travel in the sheriff's quest for Shepard I do not know, but I had no reason to doubt his return of 150 miles. Shepard was ar rested on Sunday afternoon in Mills county, Iowa. The sheriff informed me during the day that he had a tele phone message from the deputy sheriff there that Shepard had been located at his parents' home in that county. I told the sheriff to go over at once and try and get Shepard back without ex tradition if possible and he must act quickly or it would be necessary to get out extradition papers, and even then Shepard might bring habeas corpus proceeding in the Iowa courts and hang up his case indefinitely and put tlie authorities to a great expense and trouble. That if Shepard would come back voluntarily his warrant, athlough gojd only In Nebraska, would protect him in bringing him back. The sher iff returned late that night with Shep ard. When bis oxpoaso bill was orosontod to tbm Commlssloaors. tbmy tarnod It ovor to mo mad 1 r- qalrodtbo sbarinto Itimixo tao dm. I did not advise the Commissioners to rmdaeo tbo bill, although had they done so the sheriff could not have com pelled payment. Yet as I viewed it the matter was within the discretion of the Commissioners, and the return of the man from a foreign state was aecompllsbod wltb mueb loss ox ptnso than as if Shepard had com pelled extradition. I considered the result was due to the pood manage ment of the sheriff. Had extradition proceedings been instituted, the local officers could have charged any reason able sum for their services and com pelled payment before turning over a prisoner. Those charges vary from o.00 to $25.00 or more. The Gover nor's warrant from . the . asylum state is always made upon condition that the agent of the State demanding the fugitive pay. all costs, expenses and charges incident to the apprehension, detention and delivery of the prisoner. It is true those charges would have been paid from State appropriation and not from the local treasury, but that would be a distinction without a difference. I was satisfied the sheriff had paid out every cent he claimed credit for: he had been un usually active in apprehending Shep ard, and 1 thought, and still, think be should receive back the money he had expended in bringing to the bar of justice a man who was charged with a felony under the laws of this State. It Has a "Scare Crow." On Friday night last as a young man by the name of Clarence - was driving home from this city, and after he bad driven a few miles out be discovered what appeared to be part of a human body strewn along the road. It was moonlight, and the objects were first noticed when the young man's team became somewhat frighted and refused to proceed further. Clarence, like ev everyone else in this day and age who had read of mysterious murders and such like, did not feel inclined to step from the vehicle and examine what be supposed was the remains of some hu man being who had been brutally cut to pieces lying in the road. He lost no time retracing some of the distance he had gone over, and about a mile or so from the discovery of the "dead man," he stopped at a farm bouse and reported what he had seen. His story seemed so plausible that in a very short time a party of four or five brave and daring men "armed to the teeth," set out for the "scene of a horrible crime." The mystery was soon explained. Up on examination the "mutilated re mains" proved nothing more or less than a "scare crow," which bad been placed in a near-by orchard, which had In all probability been dragged there and torn apart to serve the pupose it did scare somebody. It was compos ed of a pair of pants and coat stuffed with hay, and the trick was no doubt perpetrated by some' mischievous boys of the neighborhood. Ors. J. Benson, 210 So. 16th, Omaha.
