SUES OFFICER FOR $30,000
Lincoln, Dec. 9. Irwin Reed of
Marshall county, Kansas, put a price
of $30,000 in federal court Monday
on the alleged humiliation of arrest
by an officer who was without a war
rant. He filed suit for that amount
against Sheriff Roy E. Avery of Paw
nee City. He avers that the officer
stopped him on the highway that
forms the Kansas-Nebraska line.
Without a warrant, the petition
states, Avery took Reed to the coun
ty jail and lodged him there an hour.
The purported arrest occurred in
front of Reed's own home.

3 distinguished Nebraska
by virtue of the Lincoln Ki
wan is club awarded to be conferred
Friday noon. ; ays the State Journal.
! Mrs. Aldrich was chosen for this
i honor because of what she has done
'thru her writings to make Nebraska
j more favorably known both to its
iow:i prv-:ple and others. An Iowa by
! birth, she has absorbed the Nebraska
j tradition and atmosphere thru many
years and made them her own. In
; turn she has portrayed then-, so ably
jand interestingly as to give the read
i ing world a more accurate idea of
Nebraska than it might otherwise
have.
Countless men and women have
been touched by the keen and tire
less interest of Mrs. Aldrich in the
pioneers who brought their civiliza
tion and ideals into the raid western
prairies. Expressing her admiration
for these early day adventures in
freedom and prosperity thru her
books, she has taught others to re
member what they had always known
but tended to forget the debt of
Nebraska to its first settlers. No nnn
can. read the story of Abbie Deal
without sharing her creator's feeling
for her, and for the prairie wives
and mothers she typified. Not the
least of Mrs. Aldrlch's rewards are
the appreciative words or review
ers in distant sections, who have
seen what she was working for and
have rraised her achievement. One
eastrn critic, for instance, said:
"We have crossed Nebraska many
times and were always glad to pass
ever what seemed to vis just a dry,
monotonous plain. After this we
shall view Nebraska with different
eyes the eyes of Abbie Deal."
Hugh Fullerton, the syndicate
writer, said:
"Mrs. Aldrich has done a big
thing for her state. Outsiders will
understand the people of that sec
tion better because of her books."
It was this sentiment that led
Lincoln Kiwanians to choo.-e Mrs.
Aldrich as the recipient of their
medal. This, and a feeling that
flowers are more appreciated by the
living than by those who no longer
can see them. Once before this dis
tinction has gone to a woman, the
late Carrie B. Raymond, recognized
leader of musical development in Lin
coln for many years. In the same
company stand Charles II. Morrill,
friend and benefactor of the univers
ity: J. K. Miller, merchant and city
builler; George Holdrege, railroad
builder and first aid to the home
steader; Colonel Majors, a pioneer
himself; Samuel Avery, chancellor of
the university for nineteen years,
and A. L. Bixby. newspaper colum
nist and poet. Their common bond
is a love for their state, a de
votion to its highest interests.
A Memorial Novel!
The story of this Nebraska writ
er's l'fe and work is set forth in a
little borchure reprinted from the
Boston Transcript, from which some
excerpts follow:
"Ever present in the memory and
imagination of Mrs. Aldrich were
pictures of days when her grand
mothers and grandfathers were pio
neers; when they traveled over the
lonely trails in schooners and en
dured want and hardship with un
defeated courage. . . For years she
plauned to write a novel which
should 'be a memorial to her mother
and other pioneer women of Iowa
and Nebraska. After the erection
or the momument in Oklahoma to
The Pioneer Mother,' Mrs. Aldrich's
long cherished desire began to grow
She would raise a literary monu
ment to such women, typified by her
own mother and supplemented by-
tales of those early days from the
reminiscences of other families. She
asked, over the radio, for extracts
from journals and letters, for family
traditions, and she received many re
sponses: so that, in a way, 'A Lan
tern in Her Hand' became a compos
ite work of daughters of pioneers.
."For fourteen months she gath
ered material lor this memorial
story. When she was ready to write,
what more flitting title than that
selected by Joyce Kilmer:
Because the road was steep and
long.
And thru a dark and lonely
land,
(lod set upon my lips a song
And put a lantern in my hand
"Abbie McKenzie Deal, clasping in
her arms the calfskin covered box
brought by the schooner wagon to
Cedartown, is the ancestress- of the
author, with a few adaptations."
The same critic describes Mrs.
Aldrich as a romantic realist and
praises the bubbling humor of he.'
creative work. Three qualities de
fining her work as a novelist are
given as sincerity, sympathy and
tumor. "The first never becouieb

first short story, written while tht
nauy was navinp a nap, won a prize
from the principal woman's ma
azine of the day. This was in 1911,
and the story appeared over a pen
name. Thrilled by this success, her
appetite whetted, the young mother
wrote a second story, with all the
confidence in the world. Then ajid
there she discovered that the path
to -the literary market was lone and
hard and stony. The second story
finally sold, and has been followed
by a hundred others.
.Many of these concern the de
lightful Cutter and Mason families,
known to thousands of readers up
and down the country. Thru hei
varied characters Mrs. Aldricn sees
life "and sees it whole." To her the
small town is a little world. And
studying this little world, she writes
not only the extremely human and
appealing stories of midwest life
that have charmed thousands, but
liow and then turns out such a bit
of artistry as "The Man Who Caught
the Weather," which was published
in-,one of the quality magazines in
the 1929 O. Henry memorial awards.
'.-This story, as well as "The Rim
of the Prairie" and "A Lantern in
HV1 Hand" have won their author
rec'oguition in England, in Holland,
