Judge Ramsey returned from Sid
y, Icwa, Friday evening wlure he
'had gene on Thursday to represent
J : Ts. C. M. Swearingen in the dls
:tii t ccurt at that place, ia which
(she is charged with shooting at a
jran named Williams with Intent to
do great bodily Injury.
Judge Ramsey and son W. C.
Ramsey have bet r retained to defend
this lady.
Mrs. Swearingen Is seventy years
old and for more than fifty years, a
resident of Fremont county, Iowa.
She is the widow of Col. Garret Van
Swearingen and with her husband,
have been among he most prominent
and leading citizens of Sidney and
of Fremont county. For twelve
years Col. Swearingen was postmast
er at Sidney and also quite prom-
'nent In politics as was also Mrs.
Syearingen who was, for a number
of years, associated with her hus
band In the publication of the Union
Times at Sidney. Since the death of
Col. Swearingen, ten years ago, Mrs.
Swearingen continued to reside at
Kidney managing her estate and still
taking an active Interest In matters
pertaining to the public good.
At the last election for county of-
ces of Fremont county, Mrs. Swear
ingen, although sixty-nine years ohT,
took an active Interest on behalf of
he democratic candidates, and It is
said that largely through her In
fluence, the democrats elected a large
portion of their ticket, Including
county attorney, sheriff and comp
troller.
This active interest seems to have
aroused a feeling on the part of cer
tain persons and a business transac
tion with the man Williams, whom
the is charged with attempting to
hoot, culminated In Mrs. Swearingen
receiving through th3 mail pictures
of skull and crossbones and the
word "beware," written thereon.
This so alarmed Mrs." Swearingen
hat she loaded up an old, unused
revolver that had been in the house
for many years and when she went
out alone, carried It in her hand
satchel. On April 12, while walk
ing on the streets near the court
house, she claims to have met Wil
liams who pointed a revolver at her
and she Immediately pulled nnd
fired the one she was carrying, but
missed Williams and hit the clothing
of another man.
'er trial was continued until th
next September, bail being fixed In
the sum of only $1000.

operation well, and with the lapse of
the usual time will be as well as

No Celebration.
The committee on last year's
Fourth of July celebration desires to
announce to the people of Cass coun
tw that there will be no celebration
held In this city this year. This
course Is taken on acount of the
fact that Louisville, Murray, Weep
Ing Water atd other towns of the
county are making arrangements to
celebrate and the local committee
does not care to enter Into competi
tion with them and draw away from
their crowds. As they helned out
Plattsmouth last year, Plattsmouth
will help them this year and will
distribute its patronage among them.
It Is probable there will be a mon
ster celebration here next year and
the local committee feels that It Is
no more than fair that the other
owns be given a good show this
year.

Mlnmiuri River Rising.
The annual rise of the Missouri
River la now on, the river having
been steadily climbing on the guage
for several days past and now be
ginning to loom up as a real river.
There la some drift coming down
and a further rise will doubtless
start a large quantity of It. It is
not believed that the rise this year
will be very great as the weather
bureau reports that the greater pirt
of the snowfall In the mountains Is
on the far side of the divldo uiti
will melt Into the streams flowing
west and south. The Tlatte river
was reported as having been rising
for several days but Is now on the
decline again, this doubtless bo due
to the excesnlve rains of some days
ago In the western part of the state
and In Colorado. River men do not
look for a very high stage of the
river this year. The rise Is not as
early this year as usual owing to
the backwardness of the spring.
