THE LONGEST SPELL OF

WHILE STACKING HAY
BAD AFFAIR BETWEEN
NEIGHBORS HEAR EAGLE
Which Culminated In the Arrest
of Bert Stewart, Said to Be
the Instigator.
The vicinity of Eagle, in the
west part of the county, was the
scene of an altercation Monday in
which Fred Druinm, a fanner of
that section, was badly scarred
up and also crippled to some ex
tent. According to the story told
by Drumin, it seems that for some
time there has been considerable
bad feeling between himself and
Dert Stewart, also in that neigh
borhood, growing out of a settle
ment last spring between them,
and they agreed to leave the mat
ter to the arbitration of several
of the neighbors, William Mcun
scratched, while William Meun
chau, jr., who was runnin the en
gine on the threshing outfit held
Stewart until he cooled down.
There were a number of parties
present at the scene of the affray
and one, Joo Allen, stated to wit
nesses that the men both engaged
in jabbing at each other with
pitchforks, as Drunim had one in
his hand as he got off the load of
grain, while others did not see
Stewart jab Druinm with the fork,
although they arrived in time to
see him strike him over the head
with the fork handle.
The county attorney was
notified this morning of the af
fray and a warrant was issued for
the arrest of IJert Stewart on the
charge of making an assault on
Fred Drumm with the intention of
inflicting great bodily injury, and
Deputy Sheriff Manspeaker went
out to Eagle yesterday afternoon
to bring in his man. The date of
the hearing will be set as soon as
the complaining witness, Drumm,
is able to come to this city, as it
is understood he is pretty badly
used up as a result of the en-

Omaha was a close second with

alarm was turned in
afternoon about 3
o'clock from the residence of
James Jervosky, in the west part
of town, and when the fire depart
ment had got started a few blocks
the recall was blown. The alarm
was caused by the fact that a boy
who w"as slacking hay at the place
had dropped a match into the hay
accidentally, and at once ' the
whole pile was ablaze, but it was
extinguished without much dam
age. The alarm yesterday showed
the great need of a telephone in
the central fire house, as the
members of the department were
compelled to start out without
knowing for a certainty where
the fire was, and at every fire
much time is lost in having to
hunt over town for the location of
the fire, when if an extension
telephone was run from the office
of the police judge in the city hall

and according to Drumm's story,
he has 'displayed ill-feeling to

Monday in an open attack. It
seems that both men were work

as Stewart had just finished un
loading a load of grain at the ma

from the machine, Drumm was
waiting to drive up with another
load, and ho says he thought that
Stewart was through cleaning up
his load and started to drive for

the horses over the head with a
pitchfork, causing it to jump, and

around to the horses to quiet

in doing this ho started to climb

rushed at him. he claims, and
struck him in the left leg with
the tines of the pitchfork, and as
he turned around struck him over
the face with the pitchfork. The
parties were separated and
Drumm went to the house to wash
the blood from his face, which
was quite badly bruised and
some different aspect to the case,
although esveral parties in the
vicinity where the parties resido
have feared greatly that some
more serious conflict between the
parties would take place.
Stewart was brought in Ihis

Last evening Itev. Allan G.
Wilson departed for Omaha, from
where he expects to leave, in com
pany with Mrs. Wilson, for Colo
rado, where he will rest in the
mountain climate during the
heated months and recuperate
from his recent nervous break
down. He is feeling much im
proved since his sojourn in Lin
coln, but believes the Colorado
cilmate will greatly benefit his
health.
Tuesday evening, July 15, at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. A.
Taylor, south of town, a number
of Hock Bluffers assumed the role
of the Pawnee Indians and made
an attack on the whites between
the hours of l and t o'clock
(that ghostly hour). Art Sul
livan, Dig Chief Hole-in-the-Wall,
was very successful with
bis tribe in making an original
attack and took the settlers by
complete surprise. Oeorge Smith,
"Big Yellow Smoke," was one of
the accomplices in the grave af
fair, and no doubt the "survivors"
will remember his dusky face,
how desperate he appeared in the
moonlight. Mrs. Filchorn was
present, too, and when she and
"Hig Yellow Smoke" danced the
w ar dance I hey all thought some
iliing was going to happen.
While Mrs. Art Sullivan was
busily engaged looking after the
little papooses, Mrs. Mary Sul
livan, a native of Plattsmouth,
acted as a typical squaw and
went around consoling the rest of
the tribe and spurring them on
to the utmost until their blood
was boiling. Dig Chief llole-in-
the-Wall, with his tribe of
numerous Pawnees, had a pretty
hard lime of it and was nearly
exhausted, together with his am
munition and implements of war,
before the inhabitants surrender
ed.
After all it was only a chari
vari tendered to the newly-weds,
Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Stamp,, of
Omaha, by the Rock Bluffers, and
after a real hearty welcome and a
good visit they returned to their
respective homos very much
pleased with the outcome of their
little rebellion.

The second meeting of the
Plattsmouth Equal Franchise
League was held yesterday after
noon at the home of Mrs. T. P.
Livingston. Although the day
was one of torrid heat, a rep
resentative number of quiet, yet
firm and enthusiastic ladies met
for the development of their
plans. After the opening busi
ness was completed the ladies
listened to two most interesting
and instructive addresses. Re
sponding to a request from the
League, Attorney W. A. Robertson
spoke on the subject, "The Ef
fects of Equal Franchise in Ne
braska Laws." He first traced
the, development ''' of woman's
status from the dark ages when
she was property only, through
the days of feudalism, when she
was recognized, though unequal
ly, in the inheritance laws, and
then under only' certain condi
tions; to the present day, when
she holds the unique position of
having equal rights with men, but
not equal privileges. In con
clusion, the effect of equal fran
chise on the making and enforc
ing of laws was discussed.
