them for a short visit, and the re
union was one that was thoroughly
enjoyable. The dining room and
the table were very artistically ar
ranged with decorations of the
beautiful chysanthmuras that added
a pleasing touch to the scene and
made a fitting setting for the pleas
ant dinner which followed. The
dinner party consisted of the mem
bers of the family and the hours
sped by very enjoyably in visiting
and showering the father and
grandfather with good wishes for
many more such happy events.
The many friends throughout the
city will join in extending their
well wishes to the old friend and
neighbor on the event of his birth
day and trust that he may spend
many more such anniversaries in
this city with the family and
friends. C. E. Wescott was born in
Cheshire, Berkshire county, Massa
chusetts. October 14, 1S41. and
spent his youth in this beautiful and
charming portion of New England
until moving west, and locating in
Indiana, where he resided at La
Porte, for a number of years, com
ing to Plattsruouth in 1S79 and en
gaging in the clothing business In
this city for a long period of years
until feeling the need for a well
earned rest he laid aside the business
cares of the active conduct of the
store in this city and retired, leav
ing the two sons C. C. Wescott and
E. II. Wescott to carry on the busi
ness that had been so successfully
established. Since 1911 Mr. and
Mrs. Wescott have made their home
at Los Angeles, California, where
they have enjoyed their declining
years in the beauty and charm of
the soft southern California coun
try. However each year the father
and mother love to journey back to
the old home in Nebraska to spend
a few weeks in viewing the familiar
scenes and getting in touch with
the old friends of long ago. That
they may have this opportunity for
many years is the sincere wish of all
those who have the pleasure of
knowing Mr. Wescott and his esti
mable wife.

From Wednesday's Dally.
The two wounded robbers who
were captured at Louisville early
Tuesday morning and taken to the
hospital at Omaha by Sheriff Quin-
ton, are in quite serious condition.
and particularly the man giving his
name as C. G. Thompson. Thomp
son was shot in the lert anKie ana
the bones were so badly shattered
that in the opinion of the surgeons
at the Clarkson hospital it will be
uecessary to amputate the injured
member.
The second of the men, who gave
his name as James King and his
residence as Lafayette, Indiana, has
stated to the sheriff that his real
name is Fred Uyemer ana mat nis
home is in Indiana as he first stated.
The condition of this man is not as
serious as that of Thompson, but
his wound is quite severe and a large
amount of the buck shot was extract
ed from the wound by the surgeons.
Sheriff Quinton has established a
guard over the two men in the hos
pital to see that they are not allow
ed to get away until their condition
will warrant them being arraigned
for the crime with which they will
be charged.
The third member of the party of
robbers, Walter Miller, is still in the
jail at Louisville and will be brought
to this city either this afternoon or
tonight by Sheriff Quinton and lodg
ed in the county jail to await the
filing of the information against him
WHY NOT THE POLICE JUDGE?
From Wednesday's Dally.
At the meeting of the city council
on Monday evening the suggestion
was offered by Councilman Schulhof
that the city should do something
for the advancement of the salary of
Tolice Judere M. Archer, who for
more than thirty years has presided
over the police court of the city and
giving the city the benefit of some
of the best vears of his- life. The
salary of the judge was fixed some
fifteen years ago by an ordinance of
the city at $30 per month and it
has continued at that figure since
that time, although the salaries of
members of the police force and the
employes of the street department
have been raised several times dur
ing the like period. Judge Archer
devotes his time to the city and de
spite the weight of increasing years
is on the job each day to look after
the demands of the city's business.
Surely if there is any official that
is deserving of a recognition of the
long and faithful service he has
given the city it is Judge M. Archer.
If the city has the right they cer
tainly should give the venerable
Judge an advance in the sum he re
ceives for his work.
