Yesterday afternoon Chief of Po lice Alvin Jones espied Charles Hix on on the street and who was ap parently laboring under a heavy load of more than one half of one per cent and the chief at once steered Charley to the hospitable quarters of the citv in the basement of the city hall. Now, we have prided ourselves that the basement of the city hall, used as a jail, resembled not a little the ancient fortresses within whose dungeons such notables as the man with the "Iron Mask," the "Blue Hen's Chicken" and other notable characters of history were confined, but this morning our pride is hum bled and the reputation of the jail all shot to pieces. It reems that Charles after a short confinement in the prison became full of wrath and also longed for the right to roam over the hills of this beautiful portion of Nebraska with out the restraint that the law had laid upon him and accordingly he started something. The bedding on the cots in the cells was torn up, the glass broken out of the windows and finally a large, heavy bench being secured, Mr. Hixon smashed into the bars over one "of the windows and succeeded in bending it so that he IH.

Despain was born in Macomb, McDoTiough county. Illinois. October i 4. 1S.19. and hn? lived in Cass countv S:nd Plattsmouth since 1S65, and has been numbered among our most high ly esteemed residents. Time has been kindly with Mr. Despain and he shows little of the encroaching ad vance of the years of life and his usual daily activities are carried on as in the past with apparently as much vigor as he was wont to dis play during his earlier years. It is a pleasure to the host of friends to greet him on thi3 happy occasion and the general wish is that he may live to see the dawning of the century mark and that the years to come may be filled with joy and happiness. While down in the business part of the city today Mr. Despain dis played to the members of the Jour nal force a brace of the old time pistols which apparently are far old er than the owner as they ar of the old muzzel loading type with huge hammers and fired by means of caps. One of the pistols, was secured by Mr. Despain when a lad and later given to his brother, Albert, who also had one of the pistols and on the death of the brother, they reverted to Mr. Despain who treasures them very much as a relic of the long ago.
