nOBERSON PLEAS GUILTY MID IS G1VEI1 THIRTY DAYS IN JAIL SOU EM K Agreement Between Prisoner and Special Officer Carver Brings About Result i Bring With Them Some of the ! Products of Colorado. Lewis Roberson, the man brought down from Lincoln yesterday morn ing by Special Officer L. F. Carver of the Missouri Pacific, last evening was arraigned before County Judge Bee sbn on a complaint by Carver charg ing him with burglary and petty lar ceny, the charge being the burglary of a car at Union, and the theft therefrom of a couple of pairs of shoes. By agreement between the complaining witness and Roberson, the latter entered a plea of guilty to the offense of petty larceny and Judge Beeson gave him the maximum jail sentence thirty days in Jail. This action was taken owing to the Inabil ity of the state to produce evidence of his breaking the seal and enter ing the car. Roberson claimed that the car door was open when he en tered it, and denied any breaking. As the shoes could not be traced up and the parties to whom he had dis posed of them located, the special of ficer was unable to show conclusively a case of burglary and was willing to accept a plea of guilty to the minor offense. Roberson was arrested originally at Falls City and was conveyed to Lincoln, where It was believed he was wanted. After he had been taken to that place, it was discovered by the authorities there that he was the man the Missouri raclfic had been after for the Union crime and they were so notified. Roberson made no bones' of confessing to having taken the pr0(iuct3 0f that region, Jnelud The Journal acknowledges a pleas ant call yesterday afternoon from Mrs. S. S. Gooding, wao, in company with her son, has been visiting at Stratton, Kit Carson county, Colo rado.. Mrs. Gooding, while there, gathered a number of specimens of the shoes, but steadily maintained that he did not burglarize the car and that he merely purloined the ar ticles. After being arraigned and sentence passed, Sheriff Quinton took Rober son back to the Jail and he com menced the service of his sentence. The authorities are convinced that he is an old offender and that he has a natural inclination to steal or to bur glarize property, being a bad citizen and one dangerous to the public. The fact that he bad but Just finished a penitentiary sentence and could not resist taking possession of property belonging to others, bears out the be lief of the officers. In connection with this matter, the name of the special officer who brought Roberson down last evening was given In the Journal as Mac Laren, when It should have been Car ver. Sheriff Quinton, who furnished the reporter with the facts, Inadver tently gave the name to him in error. The prisoner's name also Is Rober son instead of Robinson, as current report had It. ing some potatoes, corn, onions, tur nips and sugar beets, which she left with this paper and which are on ex hibit in the show windows of the of fice.

Steel First Assaulted by Martin Armed With Knife Tom Gradevil, who drives the mule team of Dovey & Sons, this morning furnished diversion for the public by being tnrown from his wagon at the corner of Fifth and Main streets and dragged about for quite a little ways on the pavement and walk. He was driving the team to the store, and when the corner was reached he at The Otoes to Move. D. W. Livingston came down from Omaha last evening, and on the train with him was Henry Jones, chief of the Otoes, who are now living in the northern part of the state, and will soon bo transferred to Oklahoma. Mr. Livingston had quite a conversation with Chief Jones, and says that he Is an Indian of nioro than ordinary In telligence and quite well posted. Jones said that there were only 380 of his trlbo left and they were dying fast, lie attributed the cause to whisky and cocaine, and said that either of those would kill an Indian quickly. He said the Americans could drink all the whisky they wanted, but as for the Indians he did not want them to touch it. As for himself he was a prohibitionist. Chief Jones was gaudily decorated with beads and tempted to turn them into Main fathers' and attracted considerable ttreet, while the animals manifested a desire to head south on Fifth. The pavement is torn up at the corner where the lighting company is en gaged In connecting up the gas lamps with main and this excavation scared the team. They resisted his attempts to turn them up the street, and in doing son, Tom was thrown from the -aeat onto the pavement and the team swung over onto the sidewalk in front of Wescott's store. He was dragged about quite a little bit be fore he released his hold on the reins and the animals were free. They Btarted up the etrcet at a lively pace, but one of the employes of Dovey's saw the team In time to stop it and prevent damage to the wagon or fciules. Mr. Gradevil was not serious ly injured and did not suffer any broken bones, but he had one wrist and arm painfully bruised and sus tained severe bruises on his body. The matter occurred about 8 o'clock aid occasioned a momentary diver sion In the vicinity. attention. Nebraska City News.

Lest any sufferer doubt that the cures made by Doan's Kidney Fills are thorough and lasting, we produce confirmed proof statements from Plattsmouth people saying that the cures they told of years ago were permanent Here's a Plattsmouth case: W. T. Cole, retired tanner, 60S Locust street, Plattsmouth, Neb., says: "I contractel kidney trouble while Bervlng In the army. There was a dull, heavy ache and lameness across the small of my back that annoyed me to quite an extent and at times the kidney secretions were very scanty and accompanied with pain In passage. Reading about Doan's Kidney Pills, I was led to get a box at Gering & Co.'s drug store and begin their use. They made a marked improvement and entirely re lieved me of my sufferings." (State ment given June 11, 190C.) On December 29, 1908, Mr. Cole added to the above. " I am pleased to renew the testimonial I gave two years ago endorsing Doan's Kidney Pills.

County Attorney Ramsey returned last evening from his trip to Avoca, where he investigated the shooting of Henry Martin by Charles Steele last Sunday. Mr. Ramsey found that Steele's story in the main was borne out by the stories of the eye wit nesses, although there were varia tions in detail which changed the general aspect of the case. The trouble had originated in the house and Martin was the aggressor, going around the table where the men had been sitting and striking at Steele, the latter striking back and knock ing Martin over a chair and behind a stove. Martin then assailed Steele with a drawn knife, but the wit nesses present separated the men and Steele stepped to the corner of the room where a .22 calibre rifle was setting and picked it up. The rifle was unloaded, and Steel proceeded to load It. The men then went Into the yard, Steele going out of one door and carrying the rifle, while Martin went out of another. The latter picked up some rocks laying in the yard and commenced throwing them at Steele at a distance of some thirty or forty feet. Steele shot at Martin at this time with the rifle, the bullet penetrating his hip and producing a painful flesh wound. The rest of the affair is as told In Monday's Journal, I Quinton's Martin being sent to the hospital In Omaha by Dr. Brendel of Avoca and Steele surrendering himself to the sheriff. At Omaha Martin was oper ated upon and the bullet removed by Dr. Allison. This bullet was given into the possession of County Attor ney Ramsey yesterday. Steele and Martin are married men, being brothers-in-law. Each man has a family of three children. Steele has no property In the vicinity of Avoca, while Martin has a lease on a farm In that locality, which runs for two years yet.

As applied specially to so-called Dep uty Sheriff Manspeaker, we again quote Section 9658, Cobbey's Anno tated Statutes for 1909: And each county register of deeds, treasurer, sheriff, clerk and surveyor may appoint a deputy, for whose acts he shall be responsible; and from whom he shall require a bond, which appointment shall be in writing and shall be revocable by writing under the principal's hand; and both ap pointment and revocation shall be filed and kept in the office of the county clerk in case of deputies for county officers. Mark the language of the law: "Shall be in writing" and "shall be filed and kept in the office of the county clerk." Eli Manspeaker has been, and is now, acting as the so-called deputy sheriff un der Sheriff Quinton. Where is his appointment, "in writing," and where is it "filed and kept in the office of the county clerk?" Section 9662 of the same statutes provides as follows: "Each deputy shall take the same oath as his prin cipal, which shall be endorsed upon and filed with the certificate of his appointment." Where is the bond and oath of Eli Manspeaker as dep uty sheriff? And where is Sheriff certificate of his (Man- speaker's) appointment' with Man speaker's oath as deputy sheriff en dorsed thereon? Again the Journal quotes Section 10149 of the same statutes: The jailer or keeper of the jail shall, unless the sheriff elect to act as jailer in person, he a deputy ap pointed by the sheriff, nnd such jailer shall take the necessary oath before entering upon the duties of his office. Albion News, (Republican): "This- paper Is in favor of the election of Judge Sullivan to the supreme bench, because he has proven himself to be of the right kind of timber for a judge." -:o:- Ilig Storm on Way.

County Attorney Ramsey and A. L. Tldd, whom Steele had retained to defend him, held a conference at Mr. Ramsey's office this morning and later in the day both were closeted with Steele at the county Jail. After a consultation between Messrs. Tldd, Ramsey and Steele this morning It was decided by the coun ty attorney to order the release of the latter, and that no prosecution be had of the case against him. Steele stated that he would leave this sec tion of the country so as to avoid any recurrence of the trouble, and announced his Intention of going to Kansas, where he expects to be able to obtain work. It was upon this un derstanding that prosecution was dropped, and this will close up an af fair which was largely one of family trouble, and quite regrettable.

Nickles one of Rock Bluff preeinct'B apple raisers, Is in the city this afternoon with a barrel of fine, sweet cider which he Is having no trouble in disposing of. Mr. Nickles has made a great many of his apples Into cider, finding It to be a profitable field in which to use them. Who has been and is now so-called Jailer under Sheriff Quinton? Mr. Ell Manspeaker is now and has been acting, not only as so-called deputy sheriff, but also acting as so-called Jailer under Sheriff Quinton. Where Is Manspeaker's appointment, "in writing," as deputy sheriff and as Jailer? Where is his bond and oath as deputy sheriff and Jailer? Where is Ell Manspeaker's authority for serving a single paper issued by a court or for receiving a single pris oner at the Jail? Mr.- Ell Manspeaker is not the party to be blamed if Sheriff Quln ton, his "principal,", has not com plied with the law. Tho party at fault Is Sheriff Quinton himself, be cause the law says it was and is Sher iff Quinton's duty to make such ap polntment, "In writing," and that such appointment "shall ho filed and kept In the office of tho county clerk." An examination of the records of the county clerk's office shows the appointment of Ed. S. Tutt to be the last deputy sheriff whose appoint ment was "in writing" and "filed and kept in the office of the county clerk." Mr. Tutt's appointment was made by former Sheriff John D. Mc- Bride, and who gave a bond the Bame as his principal In the sum of $10,- 000, took the oath of office as dep uty sheriff, thus strictly complying with the law. What a striking con trast In this respect, between ex- Sheriff John D. McBrlde and his dep uty, Ed. S. Tutt, and Sheriff Quin ton and his pretended deputy, Eli Manspeaker! And Ed. S. Tutt, who gave a $10, 000 official bond as deputy sheriff under former Sheriff John D. Mc Brlde, and who made such a fine record as deputy sheriff, is the same Ed. S. Tutt whom the voters of Cass county should and doubtless will elect sheriff next Tuesday. Miss Foster graduated from our own state institutions, from which she possesses a life certificate for teaching. She was born and reared in Cass county, while her opponent has taught here but two years, and went to Otoe county to get a third grade certificate. Why turn down an experienced woman for an un experienced man. :o: Judge Archer is making many friends daily, by his genial manner in meeting the people. He is one of the oldest attorneys in the coun ty, and has had considerable experi ence in settling estates, and if elect ed next Tuesday to the , position of county judge, the Interests of the widows and orphans will be care fully guarded in the settlement of estates. If the people of Cass county want a commissioner who will look after their interests as they should be looked after they will vote for George P. Meislnger, who will do so and not let partylsm influence him In dolng wrong when he knows it Is wrong. He is one of our beBt farmers and knows the needs of the people and will prove in the fullest sense a guar dian of the interests of the taxpayers In all sections of Cass county. A vote for George P. Meislnger means a vote for a good, true and noble man, who will fill the position of commissioner with honor to himself and credit to the taxpayers or Cass county. ; :o: Frank E. Schlater has been weighed in the balances of public confidence and has not been found wanting In the discharge of his duties as treasurer or Cass county. Then why turn down a man who has been so true to the trust reposed in him In every particular and has made one of the most competent officials that ever occupied the position of county treasurer? We do not believe the taxpayers will set such a man aside and replace him by one who has never had any experience in this t office. A tried and true public of ficial as Frank Schlater has proved should be elected for the second term. :o:- Joseph Cook Is among those com ing in this morning from his farm, south of the city, to look after busi ness matters.
