nib Proves Hero in Robbery
From Thursday's Iallv
The coolness and daring of Charles

cashier of the Park rose State bank
located in the suburbs of Portland.

gans of robbers that attempted to
held up the institution over which
Drake was presiding.
The residents of Murray and vicin
ity will recall the young man as he
resided in that place when a boy, his
mother being the station agent there
for the Misouri Pacific railroad for
seine little time.
The family later removed to the
west and Charles Drake war engaged
in work as a bank clerk in a number
of places, at one time being engaged
as clerk in the bank operated by
Henry A. Schneider at Kedfield.
Oregon, later when Mr. Schneider re
turned to Nebraska the young man
went to Portland, where he has since
been located. Mr. Drake has beer
the cashier of the Parkrcse state
bank for some time and Lis heroic
act in the attempted holdup nipped in
the bud the plans of the rciuers for
the third raid on the bank. The firs'
robbery of the bank occurred on Feb
ruary 13th. when the bank was rob- .
bed of $1,300 but later the
robbers were apprehended, nut or
June 27th, robbers again visited the
bank and escaped with $3,000.
On this last visit of robbers

room when the robbers entered
and drew their guns and the young
man made a dash into the adjoining
room under the range of fire of the
guns of the robbers, secured his own
revolver and returning opened fire on
the invaders. The attack or Drake
on the robbers drove them off and it
is thought that one of the men waf

CO. IS SUSTAINED
RIGHT TO LOWER SATES UPHELD
Court Finds There is no Provision
of Statute to Prevent Lower
Rates or Charging Toll.
From Saturday's Daily
This morning the bearing on the
application of tbe King of Trails
Dridge Co. for a temporary restrain
ing order and in which the counties
of Cass and Sarpy as intervenors also
appeared, against the Piattsmouth
Auto and Wagon Bridge Co., was
called for trial in the district court.
Judge John B. Raper of the f.rst
judicial district was here to sit in
the case and hear the arguments of
the attorneys in the clc ;g io iLc
reasons why and why not the injunc
tion should not be granted.
The defendant company was rep
resented in the hearing by Judge
Paul Jessen cf Nebraska City and A.
L. Tidd of this city. The defense
contended that the statute of the
state of Nebraska covering the rates
to be charged on toll bridges while
ft gave the power of fixing rates to
the district court did not fpecify that
the rates should not be lower than
the rrttes fixed, but specifically pro
vided that there be a tine imposed as
the penalty for raising rates above
those set by the court. It was con
tended by both Judge Jessen and Mr.
Tidd that the statute by its specific
mming the penalty for the raising
of rates had intended the act as a
protection to the public against an
arbitrary raising of rates by a com
pany having a monopoly of the
bridges on which toll was charged
and not "intended to limit competi
tion as was the federal act recently
passed which made the rates estab
lished by the interstate commerce
commission as the only rates that
could be charged by the common car
riers. The plaintiffs by their representa
tives, W. A. Robertson and W. G.
Kieck of this city, gave citations of
ca?es where the regulation of rates
hrd been held by courts to be solely
vested in the courts cr interstate
commerce commissions and contended
that the section of the statute requir
ing the districts courts te fix the
rates was specific and that no rates
could be put into effct that had not
been approved or made by the court,
The plaintiffs also contended that the
r2te5 established by the defendant
company would work a detriment to
tvo taxpayers in that it would in-
orw-' tne cost 01 purchasing ine

provided there was no provision forj
penil'y in failure to keep the rates!
at the amount ?et by the court aside,
from the fact that there was a pen-j
pity set for the raising of rates above
that set by the court. If there had j
been no competing bridge erected and
rates had been cut there would have)
been no reason to impose a penalty .
as the law provided none. The court!
: held that there was no .provision in

a bridge company the collection otj
tolls and that any company could
make lower rates or grant privileges ,
and rates to parties they might see
fit under the meaning of the present
statute of the state or iseorasK.a gov

From Friday's Daily
The board of county commission
ers at their session this week voted
to increase the salary to be paid the
deputy sheriff to $100 per month
from now on until the first of the
year and if the services of the deputy
were found satisfactory the salary
would be continued until January 1,
1927. The salary heretofore has
been so small that it would hardly
pay anyone to accept the office unless
they were given the jailor's position
as well, but under the present salary
it will be more attractive. The board
also accepted the bond of W. C.
Schaus as deputy sheriff of Cass
county, the appointment being made
by Sheriff E. P. Stewart.
