Early Day Life
John T. Gaffney Now of New York
Recalls Charge of Gun "Totin' "
in the Early Nineties.
From Thursday's Dafiy '
' John T.' Gaffney Was in Eaije; last
week. renewing his acquaintance
with the old timers and looking over
the scenes of his youth.
Back in the gay nineties. John
was a lively youth and was employed
on the stock farm bf A. W. Wood
ward, east of Eagle.
The old timers remember John as
a lucky, go-easy fellow, full of .fun
and enjoyed playing practical Jokes.
In these days a real cowboy had to
be able, to shoot from the hip, and
in this John could qualify, but the
law decreed that Ti was unlawful to
carry firearms within the corporate
limits of the village. - John, overlook
ing this, was one day arrested by
Village Marshal Steve Benton, and
had to stand trial for the offense
against the dignity of -the village,
and was convicted in the village
court, which compelled him to appeal

to the county court at Plattsmouth,
where he was able to convince the
judge that he was not a member of
the James or Dalton gang, and his
case was dismissed with the under
standing that John was to disarm, at
least within the limits of the village.
This made John mad and he left
the country, forsaking his calling as
a cowboy, since, as John figured, a
cowboy without a six-shooter, was no
cowboy at all. so he drifted eastward,
and finally joined the forces of the
New York Central R. R. as a fire
man, and since the railroad did not
Object to him carrying and using
the one weapon (a scoop shovel) nec
essary to carry on the work required
of him, he stuck to his post, firing
engines instead of six-shooters, on
about every kind of a train that was
ever run on any railroad, and in
turn taking his place at the throttle
until he is now next the goal of
every engineer on the N. Y. C, which
is pulling the 20th Century Limited
between New York City and Chi
cago. John has a regular run be
tween Albany, N. Y., and New York
City, and has "pulled" the Central
as extra engineer many times.
It was a happy return to the old
home for John, and his visit was
much enjoyed by all the old timers
who are left who knew him, as well
as the youngsters who knew nothing
of the customs of the gay nineties: -

Death of Mrs.
V. B. Virgin ;
at fJurray
Long Time Resident of That Com
munity Called to Last Reward
Funeral Saturday
The death of Mrs. Lottie Virgin,
75, occurred at the family home in
Murray on Thursday afternoon at
3 o'clock, following a period of fail
ing health that has covered the past
ten years, culminating last June in
a stroke, - the effects of which she
failed to recover, altho not bedfast
until within a short time of the final
summons. - ,
Mrs. Virgin was born January 8.
1856, in Monitor, Indiana, growing
to womanhood in that state and
where she was married to W. B.
Virgin. The family, after several
years residence in the home state,
came to Nebraska some thirty-eight
years ago and located in the vicinity
of Murray. Mr. and Mrs. Virgin re
sided on a farm near Murray, where
their family grew to manhood and
womanhood. Later, Mr. and Mrs. Vir
gin moved into Murray to spend
declining years and where eight
years" ago the husband and father
was called to the last reward. In
their early life, Mr. and Mrs. Virgin
were both joined in the . Christian
church and remained devout members
of this faith until death.
There remain of the family three
daughters and one son, Mrs. Charles
Read, Mrs. Phillip Keil, Mrs. Robert
Burr, all of Murray, and O. V. Vir
gin of Lincoln. There is also.sur
viving six grandchildren, W. B. Vir
gin of Lincoln, Mrs. Otto Wohlfarth
of Plattsmouth, Clarence, Albert
Phillip and Owen Keil. all of Mur
ray.
Mrs. Virgin was a lady universally
loved by all who had the good for
tune to be numbered among her cir
cie of acquaintances, who share with
the family the sorrow that the tak
ing away of the mother fias occas
ioned. With the husband, she has
been active in the community life
of Murray and where she will be
greatly missed. In the last ten years
her failing health has caused. her to
cease many of her activities and she
has made her home with a daughter,
Mrs. Robert. Burr.
The funeral services will be held
on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock
at the Christian church at Murray.
The Sattler Funeral home of this
city will have charge. .

In the district court of Dodge, coun
ty for some time, opinion was given
yesterday holding the ordinance un

The section which was contested
was that pertaining to bread trucks
and the tax was fought by the P. F.
Peterson Co., of Omaha, who sought
an injunction to prevent the city
from enforcing the ordinance, Judge
Fred L. Spear finding for the com
pany. and sustaining their con ten
tions. . .
The section of the ordinance had
provided a rate of tax for baking
companies who were located la Dodge
county and a special classification for
outside companies. The tax for the
Dodge county baking companies was
S5 er year, while on that of 'the
outside companies, the rate was set
at $100 per year
The court held that the rates were
discriminatory and unconstitutional
in that respect.
The baking companies have had a
number of other cases in the state
including the city of Plattsmouth,
where the rate is S30 per year on
the trucking of bread., similar to
other trucking taxes
