Shoots Brother at Pacific
Junction for Abusing
His Wife.
The Glenwood Opinion contains the
following particulars of the shooting
affair that occurred at Pacific Junction
last Tuesday evening. The Perkins
boys are pretty well known in Platts-mouth:
Earl Perkins, nicknamed "Kelly"
Perkins, was shot in the head Tues
day evening by his brother, Wright
Perkins, and still lies in a condition
which makes it difficult to determine
as to whether or not he will recover.
Wright Perkins has been away during
the evening and when he came home
found that the injured man had been
there in an intoxicated condition worry
in his wife, and after some words fire
the shot.
Wright went immediately to con
stable Zorns and offered to give him
self into custody. He ii foreman of
the section gang which works north
from the Junction, is a straightforward,
industrious man and enjoys a good rep
utation in the community where he
lives.
The brother who was shot is a pecul
iar fellow from the fact that he has an
immense physical frame. He is a
brother of "Jumbo" Perkins. For
several years he has been a source of
annoyance at his brothers home from
the fact that often when intoxicated
he would go there and annoy the fam
ily. He has lately been warned not
to come back, but did so on this occas-
sion and suffered the penalty that he
had been warned against.
Wright Perkins has been away dur
ing the evening, having been called to
go with the wrecking train to clear the
tracks after the storm at Island Park.
When he returned at midnight his wife
did not tell him of the annoyance she
had suffered during the evening, for
she knew of the threat that her hus
band had made against his brother and
she thought that he had escaped and
would be spared. When Wright went
to the kitchen for a drink he discovered
his brother and commanded him to
leave the place. For reply he was
struck by a burly fist, and then he shot.
He immediately went tc the home of
the officer and gave himself up. The
two then began a search for the in
jured man, but were unable to find him
until they reached the home of his
mother, whither he had returned with
out assistance. He was given surgical
aid by Dr. Bacon and in the morning
Dr. Bacon and Dr. C. H. DeWitt
probed for the ball, but were unable to
extract it. It is located in the right
side of his head, just above the ear.
If the wound heals satisfactorily he will
recover but will always carry the bullet
in his head, yet if inflammation sets in
the chances of recovery will be small.
Only time can disclose what manner of
recovery will be probably made.
The section foreman went to work
yesterday morning with his crew of
men, but was later brought to Glen
wood to appear before J ustice Edwards
on the charge of assault with intent to
commit murder. No evidence was
brought out this time as he waived
preliminary hearing and was bound
over to the grand jury and was re
leased on a bond for $1,000 signed by
R. M. McDonald, Sam Burgess and
Copyngtit 1907

Although Not so Much as Other Towns Received
We Guess We Should Feel Satisfied.
A special from Wasington, under date
of May 15, says: "The senate today
passed a bill to appropriate $50,000 for
u public building at I'lattsmouth. The
figure will be added in the senate com
mittee to the bill as it has already
passed the house. The senate will also
probably add $35,000 for an extenion
of the building at Kearney, $50,000 for
the construction at Fremont, and the
same for the enlargement of the pres
ent building at Beatrice."
We understand that a telegram was
received last evening from Congress
man Pollard, apprising the people of
the fact that the long looked for appro
priation of $50,000 was a sure thing,
and has nearly passed both houses of
congress. We suppose we should feel
very thankful for this sum, at the
same time' several towns no larger than
Plattsmouth are receiving this much
for the extension of their buildings
Beatrice and Kearney, for instance.
Evidently Congressman! Pollard's close
friends in this city feel very much
elated, believing, no doubt, that act
of congress will place a large red
feather in; Mr. Pollard's hat to strut
around and brag of what he as accom
plished for Plattsmouth.
This paper believes, as it has alway
believed, that when a man is elected
to a position by the people, he owed a
1 duty to those people, which he is bound
to perform. And what Mr. Pollard
has done in the performance of his du
ties he owed to the people. It was
what he was sent to congress for, look
to the interest of his constituents, and
J one of those interests was the securing
i of a public building for Plattsmouth.
Other congressmen in Nebraska have
done the same thing, only to a much
greater extent.
The business men of I'lattsmouth
naturally feel highly elated over the
prospect of having a postoffice building.
The.. fact is they should have had it
long ago. They were entitled to it by
all that is fair and honorable, but were
tricked out of it by scheming politicians.
This time it has been hanging fire for
some time, and to Senators Burket and
Brown, if the facts were really known,
as much credit is due for this appro
ation as is due to Congressman Pollard,
This paper is perfectly willing that
he shall have all that is coming to him,
but we do not want his friends to claim
that Mr. Pollard should receive the
support of voters of this city, when
he comes up for re-election, for simply
doing what he was bound to do as a
servant of the people, and has done no
more than any other congressman
would have done under the circumstances.
