In PUtrid Court.
In district court yesterday the
case of Mefford vs. Zoz was finished
and went to the jury. The jury
was out all night and this morning
was still locked up wrangling over
the case.
The ca9e of the State vs. Charles
J. Baker wherein Baker is charged
with bigamy, came up on a motion
of Messrs. Sullivan and Gering as
his counsel for a continuance. The
ground was absent witnesses. It
was fought by County Attorney Ram
sey and argued at length. This
morning Judge Pemberton overruled
the motion and the case Is get down
for trial on next Monday, Novem
ber 22nd.
This morning the case, of Herold
vs. Coates which was tried some
months ago and on one cause of
action, a new trial wa3 granted,
was taken up this morning by Judge
Pemberton and a jury. The case is
presented by Matthew Gering for
Mr. Herold while Attorney Gurley
& Woodruff of Omaha, are looking
after the matter for Coates. The
trial promises to be a sensational
one in many respects and will take
some little time to try.
The jury in the case of Mefford
vs. Zoz this afternoon when court
convened came in and asked Judge
Pemberton whether they had the
right to divide the costs in the case.
While not denying their right, the
court stated it was poor policy and
they returned to their jury room.
At 2:15 they were still deadlocked.
The progress in the case of Her
old vs. Coates was being made some
what faster than in the former trial
and it will not take bo long to hear
it. There was considerable acrimon
ious wrangling between counsel for
the parties and a mass of interest
ing testimony introduced, the after
noon session was largely occupied
with reading depositions taken in
Illinois and elsewhere relating to the
case.
The case of Mefford vs. Zoz which
is mentioned above, is the first Jury
case in which W. A. Robertson, the
young attorney and partner with
Byron Clark, has taken part. The
young man virtually tried the case,
although he had associated with him
William Deles Dernier. He conduct
ed the examination of the witnesses
and made an' excellent impression.
In addition he made a strong argu
ment in the case. Mr. Robertson
gives every promise of becoming one
of the brightest members of the Cass
county bar' and his many friends
have extended their congratulations
on the signal Bttecess which he has
made in his first case before a jury.

"The most merciless' enemy I had

Duncan of Haynesville, Me., "was

had failed and sevreal doctors gave
me up I tried Electric Bitters, which
ured me completely. Now I can eat
anything. I am 70 years old and am
overjoyed to get my health and
strength back again." For Indiges

The following is taken from a

chased of Alex Riley his fine farm
northwest of Lawrence four and one
half miles. He paid $100 per acre,
or $16,000 for the quarter, and be
sides this he has 120 acres that cor
ner with the new purchase, giving
him in all 280 acres. Joe was a
renter of the Riley farm for ten
consecutive years before buying it."
Mr. Svoboda was a former Platts
mouth resident, and is evidently
making good in in his new locality.

(.'(Kid Ice Weather.
The sharp, cold weather of last
night did a lot of Ice making and
this morning the small boy was in
his element as skating on the back
waters from the Missouri fiver was
fine. The Ice is smooth with no
snow or sand on it and if it should
remain this way for a few days the
best skating in years would 'be had.
The thermometer last night crawled
down almost to the zero point bul
was rapidly coming up this morn
ing, owing to a change in the wind
which is blowing from the south.
At eight o'clock the thermometer
at the depot stood at eighteen
above, not nearly so cold as many
thought. Trains are all late this
morning ns usual, No. 6 from the
west being fifty minutes late and
No. 15 from the east some fifteen
minutes late. The M. P. train from
the south this morning was on hour
late. The cold weather with Ice and
snow works hard on the fast trains
as they cannot keep schedule time.
Indications are that the weather to
day will moderate and that a period
of fine weather is in Bight.
The Lucky Man.
Wescott's held their weekly un
veiling of the clock yesterday af
ternoon at 3 o'clock and they had
the usual big crowd present to Bee
who was the lucky winner of the
three green dollars. Glen Low, an
employe of the Burlington shops,
carried off the money, he holding
ticket calling for 4:29:34, while the
clock stopped at 4:G3:G6. The next
unveiling takes place next Wednes
day afternoon, November 24, at 3
p. in.

SlUIIEfS MEET
And Put in Some Time Condemn
ing Mist Mary Foster.
Plattsmouth, Neb.. Nov. 16, 1909.
Board of county commissioners
met in regular session with all mem
bers present.
Minutes of the previous meeting
were read and approved, when the
following business was transacted in
regular form:
Bond of Charles Clapp, constable
Elmwood precinct, approved.
Bond of William H. Rush, road
overseer Road District No. 7, approved.
With reference to an article pub
lished in the Louisville Courier of
October 30, 1909, signed by Coun
ty Superintendent Mary E. Foster
In which it casts reflection upon the
county board of commissioners.
We ns a board denounce the charge
as false. ,
The bill of goods she bought
amounting to $700, she said she
could have bought the same bill of
goods from another firm for $350.
The commissioners would like to
know why she did not buy them
there, as she had the authority to
buy where she wished. She also
made the 'statement "that she did
not deal on as large a scale as some
of the commissioners would like to
have." If this is a fact, why did
we as a board cut the claim from
$750 to 450?
She also makes the claim that she
would like to know what is going
on in her office. If she is not famil
iar with the duties of her office, It
18 time that she post herself on said
duties
The county board never dictated
to the superintendent the kind,
quantity or quality of moods ordered
un to the time this bill was present
ed for payment, at which time the
board passed a resolution that in
the future no supplies Bhould be
ordered by any county official with
out first procuring an order from
some member of the board.
