BELLEYUE GUESTS
HAD FINE TIME
HERE LAST NIGHT
Entertainment at Coates Hall and
Feed at Legion Club Rooms
Were Well Attended.
Frnm Friday's Iaily
The Bellevue American Legion post
composed almost entirely of disabled
world war veterans came to Platts
mouth last night in large numbers
for the avowed purpose of having a
good time. Did they have it?
Before they left they declared they
sure did. and in view of the pleas
arable evi niiig. the home town boys
can be reasonably sure they weren't
"spoofing" them any about the mat
ter. Through courtesy of T. H. Pollock
i '"free" bridge was secured for the

logue sketch of our own Harold Bric
son. manager of the baseball team,
'and a loyal member of the local Le
gion post.
At little after ten o'clock danc
ing was begun and continued until
fully 12 . with some of the late
hour keepers clamoring for more.
Punch was served in the Eairles
club room adjoining the dance floor
and everyone enjoyed themselves in
spectators.
-Music was furnished by the Holly
orchestra which donated its services
to the Legion and was fully up to
the standard set by this musical or
ganization. Around the witching hour of 11.
the word was passed that a luncheon
at the Legion ciub room was ready
and to "come and get it." While it
had been intended to serve only Le
gion members and their wives, the
invitation was extended to Ire;: I
guests at the entertainment as well,
and many enjoyed the hospitality of
the ladies of the American Legion
Auxiliary, who had bounteous sup
plies of ground meat and cheese
sandwiches, pickles, cake and coffee.
The luncheon was served plate style
and proved a real treat to everyone
after
the strenuous exercise of danc
: nig.
The only thing to mar the pleas-
jure of the evening was the rain that
burst forth about midnight and con-
tinued throughout the greater part
of the night. A number of the Belle
rue cars wtre well on their way
home by that time, but the occu
pants of those that were not doubt -
less had their pleasure marred slight-
b-v having to get out and put on
their chains in the rain,
Commander Holly staved off the
rain for some little time with his vo-
Jciferous singing of "It 'Aint a Coin'
to Rain No More. but when he
was forced to quit for lack of
breath, the clourts burst forth co
piously and then there was no stop
ping the downpour.
The expenses of the entertainment
and luncheon were raised through
contributions from among Legion
members themselves, who feel that
the future club home fund being
gotten together should not be dis
bursed for such things as this, and
in the arrangement of the affair they
enjoyed the loyal co-operation and
jaid of the American Legion Auxiliary
members
The committee arranging f?io en
tertainment was composed of Fred
Lugsch. Ed Fricke. W. C. Schaus and
Garoiu M. Holcomb.

All Old Soldiers'

Hill
From Thursday's rnii
Yesterday afternoon Thomas Wiles
who is a member of the Cass coun

Oak Hill cemetery arranging the
markings at the grave- of the veter

The c. A. R. had appropriated S:;o

were some twenty-five of these graves
in Oak Hill.
They are all marked now and in
readiness for Decoration day and its
remembrance of the fallen heroes of
the nation. The action of ihe ('.rand
Army is certainly a most commend
able one and shows the proper spirit

FOR r!!S SALARY
Starts Action in the County Court
Against
E. ?. Stewart, Piesent
Sheriff, For Salary.
From Thursday's Daily
The countv court was the place of
filing today of an action in which;
Carroll I. Quinton is the plaintiff
and E. Porter Stewart, the present
sheriff of Cass county, is the defend
ant and covering the salary of sher
ili' for the months of December and
Januarv and jailer fees for these
monthr. which are claimed by the
plaintiff as being due to him.
The first paragraph of the peti
tion of the plaintiff alleges that on i
December 10, 1923, he was duly
elected and qualified sheriff of Cass
county and entitled to the salary and
mileage as such sheriff. It is fur
ther alleged that on December 10th
the defendant, E. Porter Stewart,
intruded and took over the office of
j the sheriff of Cass countv and has
-ce usurped Hie office.
T!,e plaintiff also m his petition
st-tcs that the amount of SI 10.09
was allowed in a bill filed by E. P.
Stewart with the board of county
I i I .1 . i. r -r
action alleges that for the month of
January the defendant. E. Porter
filed with the board of county com
missioners a bill for $145 as salary
and 146.50 as jailor fees which the
plaintiff ciaims was justly due him.
! Thp nlnintlff also states in his ne -
tition that he is the jailor of Cass
county by virtue of his office and a
loach is entitled to the fees for

lan named E. P. Stewart as the sher
! iff of the county who took the oath
j of office and filed the bond as re
I quired by law which was accepted by
the board of county commissioners.
The trial of Mr. Quinton in Jan
uary resulted in his acquittal on the
counts of protecting bootleggers and
law violators and his conviction on
six counts of having illegally re
tained fees and failing to make his
j reports of the fees collected as re-

new trial in the district court by
Judge Alexander C. Troup, of Oma
ha, who overruled the motion and
fin d Mr. Quinton $200 and costs to
which he also added that provision
of the law that permitted the court
to remove an official convicted of
malfeasance in office and so ordered
the removal of Mr. Quinton perma
nently from the office. In view of his
conviction no change was made in
the order of the governor.
The case was then appealed to the
state supreme court where it is now
pending and under the provisions of
the appeal the former sheriff, Mr.
Quinton has contended through
his counsel that he was entitled to
the office until the case was disposed
of in the state court, contending that
the appeal superseded the sentence
and the removal. On the other hand.
Judge Troup has notified the gover
nor that it was not his intention to
suspend that part of the sentence
covering the removal from office in
granting the appeal to the supreme
court. The case has since been pend
ing in the supreme court with Mr.
Stewart serving as the sheriff of the
county and Mr. Quinton still occu
pying the couniy Jail building where
he resided since its construction in
1914. Mr. Stewart has had Mrs.
j Quinton act as the jailor and to look
arter tne ieeuing ui me prisoners
pending the settlement of the case.
During this time the board of
county commissioners has allowed the
salary of Mr. Stewart as sheriff and
since the January claim was allowed
the claims have een held up by pro
tests, the first being filed by Ralph
Haynie and the second, a few days
ago, by A. F. Sturm of Nehawka.
