not much doubt of his guilt and

desired to go to work this morn
ing at his trade, that of a brick
mason, the judge agreed to stay

had secured the necessary coin to
liquidate the claim. James was

Lineal Descendant of Garret Van
Swearingen of Holland Short
Life Sketch of Deceased.
vlJy Judge Jiasil S. Ramsey.)
From Werlneiiuay'a Dally.
Horn February 23, 1859; died of
Height's disease and heart trouble
on Tuesday, July i, 1913, at i:iO
o'clock p. in., William A. Swear
ingen, aged 5i years, i months
and 8 days.
Our deceased and valued friend
was a lineal descendant of (ierret
Van Swearingen, a native of
Heenisterdam, Holland, and of
his wife, Harbarah, whose maiden
name was Harfarah de Barrett,
and who was a native of Vallen
cieunes France.
(jarret Van Swearingen landed
in New York City in December,
1050, and his descendants became
pioneer settlers of many states,
especially of Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Maryland and Old Virginia, and
were prominent in the early set
tlement of those states.
William A. Swearingen, our de
ceased friend, was born February
23, 1859, at Urichsville, Colum
biana county, Ohio, and was the
second child of a family of live
children, two sons and three
daughters. The father was Jack
son Swearingen, born near Car-!
mlllon, Ohio, , and the mother's
maiden name was Miss May M.
Hosteller.
Jackson Swearingen took a
commercial course in college at
Cleveland, Ohio, and after gradu
ating wilh high honors, was ex
lensively engaged in mercantile
pursuits for a number of years.
When I be great civil war broke
out in 1 8(11 be became a volun
teer and served as orderly searg
ii t. of Company F, 3-M Ohio
Volunteers and remain as such
olllcer during the war.
The live children of Jackson
Swearingen and wife were as fol
lows: Melvin D., born September
, 1857 ; William A. (the subject
of this sketch); Lillian K, born
April I -J, IHiiC; Alverda M., born
July -Jti, 1871, and Kdna M., born
September 13, 1870.
At the age oT 15 William A.
Swearingen commenced work as
a railroad agent and telegraph
operator, in which employment he
was engaged for eighteen years,
lie was employed by the Missouri
Pacific at Klmwood and at 1'nion,
Cass county, Neb., his last em
ployment being at the former
place. The fact that ho was for
eighteen years employed as rail
road agent and telegraph operat
or, speaks more strongly for his
efficiency and trustworthiness
than can any feeble words that
may be said or written.
On March 2, 1892, Mr. Swear
ingen was appointed deputy coun
ty clerk by the late Frank Dickson,
then county clerk for Cass county,
Nebraska, which appointment was
unanimously continued bv the
then board of county commission
ers, in this capacity Mr. Swear
ingen served with marked ability
until January 9, 189G.
Of I he three sisters named, Mrs.
Lillian K. Hasse, now deceased,
also became justly prominent as
the very elllcient deputy county
judge for Cass county, Nebraska,
in which capacily she served un
der three county judges for a
period of nearly ten years.
On December 13, 1888, Mr.
Swearingen was united in mar
riage to Miss Hertha V. Creen
slate of F.lmwood, Cass county,
Nebraska. Miss Oreenslate is the
daughter of Silas Oreenslate, esq.,
who for years was a prominent
and leading merchant of Elm
wood. To this union one child
was born, named Thomas, his
birth being at F.lmwood on De
cember 14, 1889. On July 21,
1912, when less than 23 years old,
this child was drowned near Sioux
City while in the heroic act of an
attempt to rescue another from
the same fate. Thomas had
been married but a short
time and thus left a young widow
to mourn his tragic death.
Mr. Swearingen had been for
some time seriously afflicted with
Hright s disease, complicated
with heart trouble, and had been
in the hospital for treatment in
the hope that he might be cured.
nut all that medical skill and de
voted love ami tender care of wife
and of his many friends could do,
the serious affliction prevailed.
His funeral took place at his
late home in Benson, Douglas
county, Nebraska, on Thursday,
July 3, 1913, at 1 o'clock n. in
jwhere mnny friends attended, thus
(showing Iheir regard for the
valued friends who had passed
away. Interment was made in
We( . awn cemetery, Omaha. Ne
braska, beside where were placed
the remains of his son and only
child, Thomas, less than a year
ago.

SOKE G0RREC1I0NS IN THE
DROWNING AT CEDAR CREEK
From Wednesday's Daily.
The Journal has just received
from Cedar Creek an account of
the drowning there a few days ago
of Earl B. Duff, which settles all
reports of his having been ducked
by the parties swimming wilh him
in the lake. The boy was playing
in the water with a dog belonging
to Henry Frye and got out into
water that was too deep for him
and no one touched him to duck
him, and Mr. Frye, as soon as he
saw the boy go down swam out to
him and attempted to save him.
Dutr grabbed Mr. Frye around the
neck and made it impossible for
the gentleman to swim and it was
with great difilculty he got out of
the grasp of young Dull in time to
keep from drowning, and after
some effort succeeded in getting
Duff out of the lake, but not until
be had been in the water so long
that he never recovered from the
effects and died the nexr evening.
The reports circulated about the
drowning did a great, injustice to
Mr. Frye and those at the lake, as
they had not attempted to duck
young Duff, but did all in their
power to rescue him.

M INTERESTING FAMILY
REUNION AT ELMOD
One of the pleasantest events
in the life of Grandma Streeter
occurred last week when she had
with her all of her living children,
three sons and three daughters.
Grandma, who is 77 years of age,
has been in poor health all the
spring, and the children conceived
the plan of getting together again
to spend several days with her at
the home of her daughter, Mrs.
John P. Cobb, with whom she
lives. There were Mrs. Charles N.
Wood of Cedar Falls, Iowa; Rob
ert Streeter, a railroad conductor,
from Chickasha, Okla.; Represent
ative Norman- Streeter, a banker,
from Buffalo Gap, S. D.; Charles
Streeter, superintendent of the
terminal division of the Kansas
City Southern, from Kansas City.
These, together with Mrs. Cobb
and Mrs. Charles Aldrich of Elm
wood, formed a very happy family
party, whose only flaw was the
loved mother's enfeebled condi
tion. The sons returned to their
homes after a few days, but Mrs.
Wood remained nearly two weeks,
leaving for Cedar Falls Tuesday
morning of this week Elmwood
Leader-Echo.
THE APPLE MEN AND
THE RAILROAD RATES

the railroad ocmpanies of Ne

what reductions they are willing
to make. A conference between
fruit growers and representatives
of all the railroads of Nebraska
will be helil at Omaha Friday.
"f have alw ays found I he rail
road officials fair and honorable
n their dealings," said Mr. Pol
ard "and I do not want to force
I hern intf a hearing before the
railway commission unless it is
absolutely necessary.' State

LITTLE EDGAR M'GUiRE UN
DERGOES SECOND OPERATION
Little Edgar McGuire was com
pelled to undergo a second opera
tion yesterday at St. Joseph's hos
pital in Omaha, and while the' lit
tle lad came out of tho operation
in good shape, he is very weak
from the effects of his long illness
and his condition is such as to
cause his -relatives and friends
much anxiety. Edgar was taken
with nieasels about two months
ago and the disease settled on his
lungs and he was taken to Oma
ha, where specialists decided that
the only way to secure relief
would be through aii operation,
which was performed, but which
was not satisfactory, and another
one was performed yesterday.
