Henry A. Guthmann of the Benk
of Murdock, who has been at the
hospital in Omaha for the past two
weeks, is reported today as show
ing some change for the better and
his improvement is now so much bet
ter than was expected, that the
brightest of hopes are entertained for
his recovery, although he is still very
weak and has suffered a great deal
from the painful illness and opera
tion that he has been through.
Mr. Guthmann ha9 been affected
with a mastoid for some time and it
had reached a stage where an opera
tion was necessary to give the patient
firm of Becher Hockenberger and
Chambers Co. of Columbus, Neb., as
director and treasurer. During recent
years he frequently acted as court
referee anil trustee in estate land
sales in Nebraska counties, and in
Colorado and Wyoming. In this work
he developed a keen knowledge of
land values and general agricultural
conditions, which accounted for the
success of these sales.
Mr. Gruenther was alwa's an ar

and was convinced that it would re

people and thereby to the nation.

A number of the lawyers leaped
upon the bill. They said that it
gave tyrannous power to the gover
nor, that it violated the fundamental
principle of free government that a
man is held to be innocent until he
is proven guilty, and that it woufd
be convicting officers before a trial.
Reid Green said, amid thunderous
democratic applause, that this was
once the governor was right, and
that he needs this power to enforce
the laws. The present lav permits
removal, but the county board has
the power to temporary appointment.
Mr. Green said that Gov. McKelvie
has used the law, but found himself
balked by local boards that either
re-appointed the man removed or ap
pointed a new one just as bad.
Keck 'said that the moral influ
ence of the law, the fact that the
governor had the power sought to
give him in this bill would keep law
enforcement officers on the job.
Several members raid that this
would give those persons in the small
towns with grudges against officer
an opportunity to annoy, embarrass
and keep them out of office for long
periods by making complaints, but to
this the answer was made that a gov
ernor may be trusted to investigate
for himself and to use his own judg
ment before taking any action.
Hardin drew a laugh by proposing
an amendment so that the governor
might employ this same power over
legislators, but the amendment was
declared out of order. .- - -
