in favor of Fusion
The Supreme Court of Nebras
ka So Declares
Lincoln, Ne., July 24. The supreme
court today granted the writ of mand
amus asked for by T. S. Allen on behalf
of J. L. Sundean, fusion candidate for
state regent, to compel the secretary of
state to place Sundean 's name on the
primary ballot under the two seperate
party designations.
The decision of the court is a victory
for the fusionists, and a rebuke to At
torney" General Tompson who decided
offhand against the contention of the
fusionists.
The decision means that fusion will be
permitted in the state-wide primary and
that fusion candidates' names may ap
pear on the ballot under both party des
ignations.
The Bird Had Flown
The case of assault and battery at
Cedar Creek, which was complained of
before the county attorney a few days
ago, and on which complaint a warrant
for the arrest of Herman Vogt, was
issued, seems to have spread out in
thin air. The bird had flown when the
sheriff made his appearance at his for
mer abiding place. The neighbors des
cribe it as a friendly fight, but it seems
as though the one who gets the worst
of the matter has another recourse,
It is not fair to pull hair, not unless
you are doing the pulling; so while it is
all right to fight, it is not all right to
get licked. If you can lick the other
fellow all right, but it is different when
the shoe pinches your foot.
Yesterday afternoon D. K. Barr sold
at the south door of the court house the

and was bought by James M. Dyer.
This sale was made in the settlement

EARLY DAYS IN
CASS COUNTY
Hardships Endured by Those Who
Broke the Way for Others
(Communicated.)
None but those who went through the
many hardships of pioneer days in Cass
county, know what they had to undergo.
I speak only of those with whom I be
came acquainted in the spring of 1859.
Some of these men came to Nebraska
from Wisconsin on their way to Colora
do during Pike's Peak flury. Most of
them arrived here with ox teams and
brought their outfits in Plattsmouth and
going as far as Elm creek, about 150
miles west of the Missouri river, they
met there a stampede and returned with
them most of them stranded financial
ly, as they had spent almost all their
means in buying an outfit. But some of
them liking the country and the beauti
ful land, concluded to stay and take'
some of it for a home. They chose a
quarter section each and filed on same
at the land office of Nebraska City. The
land chosen was near Louisville. Those
who were fortunate enough to have a
team commenced forthwith to break
some of the land and plant the same in
sod corn. They next prepared to build
a house and came to Plattsmouth to buy
some cottonwood lumber which was very
plentiful here. They also gave a glow
ing account of the fine land to their
friends in Wisconsin, and advised them
to also come to Nebraska and get a
quarter section of this fine land from
the government. Their advice was
heeded and there was quite a large em
igration to Cass county. They also set
tled in the neigaborhood of their friends
near Louisville, and forthwith commenc
ed to break prairie for the next year's
crop.
After they had built theirhouses their
money was gone but determined to pre
pare a home for their wives and chil
dren, they gathered what soil corn they
had from their land and those who had
left their families in the east, left for
their homes and returned in the spring.
Others hired out to John Holshuh to
chop cord wood for him at the rate of
fifty cents per cord in order to have
some money to support thr families
and to buy seed wheat for the coming
spring. I mention some of the prom
inent men who came here in 1859: Fred
and Henry. Lehnhoff, Chas. . Gaebel,
Henry Beuma, Fred Bruncov Mr. Pan
ka, Andrew Shoeman. Fredrich Stohl
man, Louis Eikoff, Theodore Boedeker,
John Ferguson, John Erhaurd, (Patrick
Blessington, first settler near Louis
ville) William and Hugh Schliefert,
William and Fredrich Lao, Peter and
Fred Stander, Henry Oehlking, Chas.
and William Pankonin, Geo. Shoeman,
G. W. Berger, John Bauer and others I
do nememeber.
Most of these mentioned have left us
for the unknown world and the few of
us left will soon follow. All we ask of
the children of these names mentioned
who are in their graves, is to keep their
graves green, for they deserve it for
their hardships they bad to endure for
your sake. Conrad Schlater.

(Special Correspondence)
. T. H. Straub made a trip to Lincoln
Saturday.
H. G. Wellenseik visited at Lorton
Sunday.

Making Good Progress.
The workmen on the Boeck building
are making fine progress in the rebuild
ing of the walls which were torn down
at the fire, and from the way the
things are' being pushed, it will be
only a short time when the building will
be as good as ever. It is not expected
that they can have it ready for occu
pancy before the middle of September
or the first of October. Even at that
they will have done rapid work!.
A FEW POSSIBLE
CANDIDATES
The flames Thai Are Fre
quently Mentioned.
While the republicans are pushing to
the front the names of many candidates
for the various jxsitioiis to be filled in
Cass county to be voted upon at the
general primary on the 3d of September,
the Journal does not think it out of
place to mention the names of a few
democrats that have been favorably
mentioned for the several positions to
be filled this fall.
Of course there will be no opposition
to the nomination of W. E. Rosencrans
tor he has made such an excellent rec
ord as county clerk that you can't in
suit his friends more than even mention
opposition to him for the re-nomination.
His friends in Cass county are simply
legion.
Frank E. Schlater, than whom no
better man exists, will undoubtedly be
the democratic nominee - for treasurer.
He has served in the capacity of depu
ty in the office of Treasurer Wheeler
during his term and it is well known to
all who have had business with that of
fice, that he is one of the most efficient
men for the position in Cass county.
For county commissioner in the Third
district, the name of Walter E. Failing
of Greenwood, has been frequenty men
tioned. He is a man that is eminently
well fitted for the position and if he will
consent to make the effort for the office
the Journal believes he can be elected.
The name of Jacob Trietsch of this
city, has been mentioned time and time
again for assessor. Those who know
Mr. Trietsch (and nearly every one in
Cass county does know him) are satisfi
ed that he is one of the most competent
men in the county for the place. His
past experience qualifies him abundant-
iy.
For sheriff the name of W. C. Tippens,
the present efficient councilman from
the Second ward of Plattsmouth, is
mentioned very often among his friends.
He is a good man for the place, and his
friends wherever known are more than
legion.
There have beea several lad- school
teachers mentioned for the office of
county superintendent, but we have
been requested not to mention their
names just yet. In a county that can
boast of nearlv one hundred school
ma'ams at of a small margins over a
hundred, it seems that it would be no
more than proper to install one of the
best qualified in the office. We have a
few of them whom no doubt there is
one among them who will consent to
make the race.
It may be possible that Judge Travis
can be prevailed upon to run again al
though his friends in both Otoe and Cass
counties, are eager for him to make the
race for district judge. ' The Journal is
for JudgeTravis for anything but he has
made such an excellent record as coun
ty judge that the people are loath to
part with him. There is a bright young
lawyer over at Avoca who is also men
tioned throughout the county for county
judge. His name is H. G. Wellensieck.
He is a graduate from one of the lead
ing law schools of the country.
There are several names mentioned
for clerk of the district court, among
whom are J. I. Corley of Weeping Wat
er, and Christie Metzger of Cedar Creek,
either of whom could fill the bill to the
letter. Joe Corley is well known on the
west side of the county as a most ex
cellent man, while Christie is one of the
finest young men in the country.
These so far, are all the names sug
gested but there are others who might
like to run. If there are, we would like
to hear from them.
