31 it. root's statement.
Concerning the case of State vs
Shepard, the defendant had plead guil
ty to a misdemeanor and had been lin
ed $75,00 and costs on the solemn prom
ise of the man that he would go back
home and go to work and make month
ly payments to liquidate the fine and
costs and furnishing bond for the per
formance of those agreements, a miti
mus was not issued to place him in
jail. Within a few days after this ar
rangement, and about nine o'clock in
the evening,a telephone message came
to me from the agent of M. P. lly. Co.,
at Weeping Water that Shepard had
broken into the depot at that place
and had 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 that
the man be prosecuted. I telephoned
to the jail for the sheriff, and after
some consultation, it was agreed he
would arrange for two men to watch
Shepard 's house that night, while he
should go to Auburn, as it was known
Shepard had an intimate friend at
that point who had helped him when
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
Elder Utterback received as a pres

g Plants
Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
mall and weak.
Scott's Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
Scott's Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
W hatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
Scott's Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right

a considerable distance, to find the
night police and arrange for watching
for Shepard should he return, and re
turn to the depot, so sheriff might re
turn the same night to I'lattsmouth
Notices were sent by wire, 'phone and
letter to the near-by officers asking for
the apprehension of Shepard. The
sheriff returned earlv 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 the exact amount of travel in the
sheriff's quest for Shepard 1 do not
know, but 1 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 shenf
there that Shepard had been located
at his parents' home in that county
1 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
trie authorities to a great expense and
trouble. That if Shepard would come
back voluntarily his warrant, athlougl
gojd only in Nebraska, would protect
him in bringing him back. The slier
iff returned late that night with Shep
ard. Wben bis expense bill was
presented to tbe ommlssloners
tbey turned It over to me and I re
quired tbe sheriff to Itlmlze tbe bill.
1 did not advise the Commissioners to
reduee tbe 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
accomplished wltb much less ex
pense than as if Shepard had com
pelled extradition. I considered the
result was due to the good manage
ment of the sheriff. Had extradition
proceedings been instituted, the loca
officers could have charged any reason
able sum for their services and com
pelled payment before turning over a
prisoner, Those charges vary irom
$5.00 to $25.00 or more. The Gover
nor's warrant from the asylum state
is always made upon condition that
the agent or 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 withou
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
he 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.
