Distinguished Omaha and Sarpy
County Attorney Praises Re- '
cord of Judge Begley.
- Plattsmouth, Nebr., July 3, 1928
Nehawka Enterprise,
Nehawka, Nebraska.
Gentlemen:
My attention has just been called
to certain derogatory statements at
tributed to me concerning Hon. J.
T. Begley, by Mr. A. L. Tidd in the
course of an address in the Metho
dist church in your village on the
morning of July 1, 1928, and I wish
to refute said statements very em
phatically. Some decisions of Judge Begley's
have been disconcerting to me
when I happened to be on the losing
side, but I have never attributed
any adverse decision of his to liquor
drunk in the home of the successful
litigant, or elsewhere, nor to influ
ence of any kind. In fact, my long
acquaintance with Judge Begley
would preclude any such thought.
Years ago while county attorney
of Sarpy county. Judge Begley was
! offered a bribe of $250.00 per
j month to permit bootleggers to op
erate at Fort Crook. His answer was
an indictment of the person who of
fered the bribe, by a grand jury, and
' it became my very pleasant task as
special county attorney, appointed
by the late Judge Travis, then judge
of the district court of this district,
to conduct the prosecution of said
offender. I secured a conviction and
the court imposed a sentence of three
years in the penitentiary.
I could, if necessary, recount
many other incidents in his career as
County Attorney and Judge of the
District Court which indicate tivu he
has always stood for law enforce
ment, and an impartial administra
tion of justice, but feel that he ir,
so well and favorably known by the
people of his judicial district that
any brief presented in his behalf
would he but dignifying any attack
upon his integrity as a judge.
Very truly yours.

Weeping Water and vicinity was
struck by a severe wind storm Tues
day night which completely demol
ished large- trees, stripping others
of limbs and branches, overturning
small out-buildings, and resulting in
a good deal of damage.
On Main street several windows
were broken out, and possibly the
greatest damage in this respect was
the smashing of the large plate glass
in tho front of the postoffice build
ing and another one in the Meier
Drug Store building. John MeGrady

porch was completely blown over
the house and deposited on the
north side. In the country a mile
or so north of town it was reported
that in one mile twenty telephone
polos were blown down.
The storm came at about 1:30 a.
m., following a very calm evening,
and it was agreed by all that the
wind came straight for the most
part, without the twister-like effect,
which plays so much havoc. It wai
thought by some that the wind must
have twisted some when it struck
the homes of Leslie Wiles, Harold
Myers, Lloyd Wolcott and J. C. Leh
man, as the trees in their yards
were completely demolished.
The storm followed closely the
damaging storm reported in Minne
