Nehawka Scene
of a Lively Dis
pute Satur
day
Marshall McConnell Arrests Man and
Large Crowd of Friends Force
Surrender of Prisoner.
From Monday's Dally
T.ate Saturday evening the mes
sage came here to the office of Sheriff
Bert Reed to send men to Nehawka
where it was reported a riot was
about to break forth and where the
first renort stated violence was
threatened and gun play about to
start.
The message came from author
ities at Nehawka and caused a great
deal of excitement for a time as
Sheriff Reed and Deputy Sheriff Rex
Young started at once for the scene
of action and expecting when ar
riving there to have to charge into
a real battle.
On arriving at Nehawka there was
found groups of citizens standing
around and a general subdued hum
of excitement, but no one would talk
much about the matter that had led
to the call of the sheriff and his
deputy and to all inquiries made
there was no one that would spill
the beans.
After some time it was finally
learned that the trouble started when
Marshal McConnell, of Nehawka, had
placed a man under arrest, alleging,
it was claimed that the man was in
toxicated, and this had led to the
dispute as a large group of the
friends of the man arrested, gather
ed and remonstrated with the mar
shal on the arrest and the argument
as to the justness or unjustness of
the arrest grew in intensity and
finally it is claimed the growing
crowd interfered with the locking up
of the man and the marshal had a
real situation on his hands.
The marshal stated that the size
of the crowd and their demands that
the man be surrendered was such
that he was compelled to either fire
on the objectors or let the prisoner
go temporarily at least and rather
than shoot any of the people, many
of whom were among the well known
residents of that section, the marshal
had turned the man loos-and such
was the situation when the sheriff
and deputy arrived there.
After the investigation by the
sheriff and talking the matter over
it was decided that the filing of any
complaints in the case be laid over
until today, the marshal as well as
others being willing to appear here
in court to have the matter thresh
ed out when the official complaint
was filed.

DISCUSS CHURCH OWNERSHIP
From Wednesday's Dally
This morning the question of the
right and title to the Lewiston
church located east of Murray and
south of this city was taken up in
the district court and the applica
tion of the Nebraska Conference of
the Methodist church to have the
title to the rights in the church
building vested in it, was considered
but laid over for the holidays and
will be taken up Tn January again.
Several of the societies and organ
iaztions of the residents of Lewiston
are very desirious that the building
be secured as a community center as
well as a place of worship and where
the various organizations that main
tain the community activities can
function at a central meeting place.
Other of the residents are desirious
that the building be maintained as
a strictly church building as It was
in the paBt.
The church has not functioned as
an active church since 1920, the
plaintiff conference states in their
petition and for that reason it Is
desired that the property be turned
to the central church organization
to be handled for the best interests
of the property and the church.

Let ev-ry heart prepare Him room,
And heav'n and nature sing,-
Joy to the world! the Savior reigns;
Let men their songs employ;
While field and floods, rocks, hills
and plains,
Repeat the sounding Joy,
No more let sin and sorrow grow;
Nor thorns Infet the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as.the curse is found.
He
rules the world with truth and
grace;
And
makes the nations prove
glories of His righteousness,
The
And
wonders of His love.
