1 QUESTION TO BE SETTLED
The Matter as to WSetfcer the County Judge
Is Required ta Repcrt Marriage Fees.
County Attorney sibmnh of Doug
las county lias when an opinion to the
county commissioneis, holding with
Judge Corr.lsh of Lancaster county
that the county j mine need imt report
fees collected by Mm for performing
marriage ceremonies. The opinion in
effect Is that these fees belong to the
county judtie and not to the county.
The opinion of the county attorney
is based cn JudgeCornlsh'sdecislou in
the district court of Lancaster county
la a case wherein the county commis
sioners sought to collect marriage fees
from County Judge Waters. Judge
Cornish decided in favor of the county
judge. The case was not carried to
the supreme court.
County Attorney Slabaugh said as
far as he was concerned no test case
would be brought Douglas county, as he
was satisfied with theopinion of Judge
Cornish. He said he would bring such
a case . if the commissioners wanted
him to. Deputy County Attorney
Shotwell had previously given an
opinion to the commissioners to the
effect the fees for performing marriage
ceremonies belong to the county and
should be reported by the county Judge
the same as other fees. The fees
amount to about $'o a month on an
average.
County Judtfe Les'le Is not satislled
to accept as final the opinion of the
county attorney that he Is not requir
ed to report the marriage fees to the
county and will demand that a test
case be brought which will result In a
decision by the supreme court. While
the county attorney's opinion Is In his
favor, he declares he will not be satis-
tied until a tinal opinion is had from
the supreme court. The opinion of
Judge Cornish, as understood here, is
to the effect the county judge lias no
right to accept a fee at all.
I think It Is only fair to the com
missioiiers, the taxpayers and the
county Judge's office that we have an
adjudication of this matter by the su
preme court," said Judge Leslie yes
tentay afternoon, "as it is now i am
uncertain as to how I should proceed.
If 1 accept a fee for marrying a couple
someone may charge me with wrong
fully accept ing money. If 1 do not, I
mav tx la-id responsible for the fee
and he required to pay it out of my
own pocket. If the matter is not set
tled now, after I go out of otliee some
one may bring it up against me.
"I think 1 am entitled to a decision
of the supreme court and If there Is no
other way I w ill start proceedings my
self or have them started todetermlne
the matter."
"From what I know of the opinions
of the commissioners," said County
Auditor Robert Smith, "I do not
think they will let tlie matter drop,
but will insist on a decision from the
supreme court. I do not think the
matter will be settled this side of the
supreme court."

ncldents In the Career of Peter B. Sarpy,
a Well Known Character of Early Days.
There are a number of old settlers
In Plattsmouth and vicinity, yet liv
ing, who were well acquainted with
eter H. Sarpy. To these old settlers
especially, will the following incidents
In the career of this odd character,
taken from the Glenwood Tribune,
prove Interesting:
"One of the most striking and pic
turesque characters in the early-day
history of Mills couty was Peter A.
Sarpy by courtesy called "Colonel."
He Is said to have been a mixture of
rench, .Spanish and Indian blood.
Sarpy came to this region In a very
early day and was for many years an
Indian agent operating up and down
the Missouri river. He had extensive
dealings w ith t he redskins and among
his other matrimonial acquisitions
had a squaw w ife.
Many of the older residents of Mills
county remember Sarpy and many are
the stories they have to tell of him.
Horace and (lilhert Cheney, of Finer-
son. were In their younger days resi
dents of (ui nwood and to the Tribune
man one day lately related some inter-
sting tales about Sarpy, with whom
they were acquainted.
They tell that ;it one time Sarpy
hud incurred the enmity of the Indians
and would have been killed by them
but for the quick w it and heroism of
his squaw vilfc.
Sarpy was being pursued by the red
skins over near Plattsmouth, they
having no trouble in tracking him on
account of his white man's boots.
To throw them olT the trail his In
dian squaw proceeded to load him on
her back and In this manner carried
him for 17 or 1 miles, thus success-
fullyeludlng his bloodthirsty pursuers.
Another story told by them was
that of a brutal piece of work on the
part of Sarpy. lie was driving a mow
ing machine one day when he encoun
tered a man by the name of Jack
Ganley lying In the gra drunk.
Sarpy yelled at Oanley to get out of
the way or he would run over him.
Ganley was either too drunk to heed
the warning or else thought the
swarthy Indian trader was blurting.
Put Sarpy was as good as his word
and recklessly slashed ahead with the
mower and Ganley was made a cripple
for life by the Injuries Inlllctcd. Gan
ley was a well known early day black
smith and wagon maker In Glenwood.
Mrs. .lames Grelg, of Hastings, says
that Sarpy was the first man to bring
a single-top buggy to Mills county
As a girl she lived at Old Pacific and
many a time she has seen him stand
ing op in his buggy and driving full
tilt down the long Pacific hill, leading
from Glenwood, yelling and swearing
all the way like a Commanche Indian
Sarpy was loud, boisterous, very pro
fane, and loved to be doing something
sensational roost of tbe time.
After a slcknes-. Listing about ten
il.Hs.l.yiiKin Kildow died Friday morn
ing shortly after seven o'clock at his
home In this city, lie had complained
of not feeling well about a month ago,
but still persisted in continuing his
duties as janitor at the court house
until he Uvame worse, so as to be con
fined to his room, remaining there un
til relieved of his suffering by death.
The deceased was born In the state
of Illinois on the '.''th day of January,
Hi;:', and resided there until lie re
moved to Plattsmouth In lssi). He
was united In marriage with Miss
Km Illne Conant In the year lss t, but
having had no children the relatives
left to mourn his demise are the wife,
one sister, Mrs. John Smith, of Coun
cil Bluffs, la., and three brothers.
namely: Fllas, Thomas and John.
The funeral services will be held at
the Methodist church Sunday after
noon at 2 o'clock, under the auspices
of the Woodmen of the World, and
the last sad rites at the grave will
be conducted by the local Aerie of
F.agles, of which lodges the deceased
was a member.

The Lincoln News says that there
have been registered 71") automobiles
in the entire state, and deducting t.'
owned In Omaha and Lincoln, there
remain 4so owned In the smaller cities
and towns. The greater number of
these are owned In the towns In the
central and western part of the state,
Grand Island and Holdrege following
closely after Kearney, while Platts
mouth has a single runabout and Ne
braska City Is lixed but little better.
This may or may not be on account of
greater wealth and prosperity In the
west, but It Is surmised that good level
roads in that section have much to do
with Inlluencing people to purchase
motors. The lirst freight truck has
just been registered from this city.
Thero are two others In the state,
both of them being owned In Omaha.
Nebraska City has live autos, and sev
eral more will he purchased before the
close of the season.
Opcnini'a New Stone Qiinny.
A -special from Louisville to the
Omaha l'.ee, says: "A company has
been formed here known as the Louis
ville Stone company, with Tom F.
Parmele, president and George II.
Wood, secretary and treasury. The
Missouri Pacllic Railway company will
put In a switch to the quarry within
the next ten days. These are sand
luarrles and the company will put In
machinery to dress the stone In any
shape or size required."
Aunt Fanny Gillllland was an early
day settler on the Missouri bottom
and lived only a short distance from
the old town of St. Mary where Sarpy
kept a store. She knew him well.
She relates a story of how Sarpy one
time bought a wife. A couple from
the Fast were passing through St
Mary when Sarpy took a fancy to the
woman, and offered the man a good
round sum for her.
The offer was accepted, the money
was paid over, and the man went on
west. By previous arrangement the
woman remained a few weeks, then
slipped away and Joined her husband
leaving Sarpy In the lurch.
Aunt Fanny also tells of another
prank that was played on Sarpy. He
bought many furs from the Indians.
One day a redskin brought In a par
ticularly valuable fur. A night or
two later he stole It and brought It
back and sold It over again to Sarpy.
This process was repeated several
times. One day Sarpy discovered the
trick and set a trap. The next mom
Ing he found Mr. Redskin tight In the
trap. Then It was Sarpy's turn to
laugh."
Interest In Their Home Town.
We are in receipt of the Fremont
Pally Tribune, giving an account of
the annual banquet of the commercial
club of that city held on Monday night,
last. It shows that the business men
of Frement are alive to the Interests
of the city, and that they working to
gether In harmony. At this meeting
everything passed olf enthusiastically
and they renewed their allegiance to
the welfare of their town and agreed
to do more for Fremont the next year
than has been done In any previous
year. I remont has thrived ami pros
pered as no other city in Its class In
Nebraska has prospered during the
past year, and this condition is due to
t he work of the commercial club. The
Journal cites these facts to the busi
ness men of Plaltsiiioiith In the hope
that they may awake from their dor
mant state and join hands, as the busi
ness men of Frement have done and
work together for the building up of
Plattsmouth, Instead of cutting
each other's throats. Throw aside all
that jealous fee I ing, be neighborly with
your brother merchant, and you will
tlnd In the long run you will feel hap
pier and that you will prosper better
and the town will renew theold life she
used to boast, of, and that the entire
city and her people will prosper In consequence.
