Edward Thimgan
of Murdoch is
Named Sheriff
Conference With Commissioners to Be
Held Saturday as to Details of
Taking Over Office. '
Edward Thimgan, Murdock busi-
ness man and well known over Cass
county, was named late Tuesday
afternoon by the board of county
commissioners as sheriff of Cass coun
ty, to succeed the late Bert Reed
ine commissioners by a vote of 2 to
1 named the new sheriff.
The board of commissioners ad
journed immediately after the selec
tion of Mr. Thimgan. to meet again
on Saturday with the newly elected
sheriff to confer as to details of the
office which the commissioners wish
to have understood before the office
is turned over to Mr. Thimgan.
One of the matters to be taken up
will be that of the jail and its man
agement, the commissioners desiring
to have a deputy reside there and
acecpt the work of jailor and feeding
the prisoners as a part of the salary
of the position. The limiting of costs
of investigation of cases is also one
of the matters that will be discussed
between the board and Mr. Thimgan
If the new sheriff is agreeable to
the suggestions of the commissioners
the office will be then formally ten
dered to Mr. Thimgan. At the court
house it was understood that should
the parties be unable to agree to the
details of the management of the
office that the board might re-open
the question, but this is not thought
to be likely.
Mr. Thimgan is a member of one
of the well known families of Elm
wood precinct, he having been born
and raised in that community and
where he has made his home. In re
cent years he has been engaged in
business in Murdock and is a gentle
man held in the highest esteem by a
large circle of friends over the coun
ty. Mr. Thimgan has not been active
in politics, his only venture in the
political field being in 1922 when
he was a candidate for the office of
sheriff against C. D. QuinTon. veteran
sheriff, coming within. 200 rotes ofi
carrying the election as- an rnde-l
pendent against Mr. Quinton and
G. H. Manners, the democratic can
didate. In his application for the office a
large petition was presented the
board cf commissioners urging the
selection of Mr. Thimgan, as well
as a number of friends appearing to
urge his cause before the county
board.
If the conference results in the
commissioners alnd Mr. Thimgan
agreeing he will at once take over
the office. The new sheriff will hold
under the appointment until the
election in November.

C. S. Wortman
Opens Office
w
at Ashland
Former Ccunty Supt. Returns to 23a
tive State To Be Associated
With A. L. Tidd Here
As the Gazette foretold in Octo
ber. C. S. Wortman established his
law office in Ashland Jan. 1. in the
Farmers & Merchants National Bank
building, and is now open to the
public. In addition Judge Wortman
will be associated wtih Honorable
A. L. Tidd, an old time friend, who
has been a leading lawyer at Platts
mouth for twenty-five years.
In 1907 young attorney Wortman
left Cass county to start his legal
career in Indian Territory (Ok'a
hema). after serving as Cass coun
ty's youngest superintendent of pub
lie instruction. Until recent months
he has practiced law in the sooth, en
gaging in both civil and criminal
law, specializing in probate and land
title law. At Statehood land titles
were complicated because of many
Indian treaties. The Indians with
former slaves or freed men held title
in common. Later tribal lands were
allotted per capital, the minors re
ceiving the same acreage as adults,
thus resulting in a huge volume of
probate work. Each minor as well
as adult death meant an estate to be
probated. The appointment of guar
dians, administrators, executors, pro
bate sales, the settlement of estate,
and drawing of wills, furnished a
varied field of litigation for years.
Judge Wortman gained experience in
all of that character of work, later
serving as judge. Prior to holding
the judgeship he had served as pro
secutor and also in the Oklahoma
legislature. Since Oklahoma prac
tically copied her probate code from
Nebraska the procedure is almost
identical.
Yielding to an increasing desire
to devote more time out of . doors
without giving up his chosen profes
sion. Judge Wortman will reside on
his Cass county stock farm four
miles southeast of Ashland on the
Plattsmouth graveled road. This is
the farm upon, which, he was, .horn
and which' he and his sister; Mrs. E.
W. Richards, have in recent years
acquired together.
Judge Wortman solicits in busi
ness the consideration of old friends
and new. Ashland Gazette.

co" Ofe and his crew of basketball
players entertained the Weeping
Water town quintet at the hfgh
school gym. The locals were win
ners by the score of 33 to 9. but the
contest was much better than the
score indicates.
The visitors showed a good team
play but with the sharpshooting eye
of the Platter stars working it was
too great a burden to overcome the
lead that was amassed by the locals.
Moore, the husky center of the visi
tors, was the chief point getter cf
the visitors, securing six cf the nine
points. Galloway was the leader of
the local scoring with eight baskets
and a free toss. Wiles and Turner
at guard for the Plattsmouth team
showed their old fighting spirit.
In the opening quarter Moore of
Weeping Water scored the only tally
for his team while Galloway with
two baskets and McCIeary and Wiles,
one each, made the total eight to two
for the Plattsmouth team at the
whistle.
The second period say Galloway
continue his successful shooting,
gaining three more baskets and
Wiles also scoring, while for the vis
itors, Ehlers counted. The Bcore at
the half was 16 to 4 for the Platts
mouth team.
The Plattsmouth quintet added
ten more In the third period, Yelick.
McCIeary and Turner each securing
a basket apiece and Galloway two
of the field goals. Moore of the vic
tors was the only member of his team
able to penetrate the Plattsmouth de
fense to score, making the tally 26
to 6.
The visitors battled hard in the
last quarter to reduce the lead of
the Plattsmouth five, but Moore with
a basket and Livingston with a free
toss represented the sum total. For
Plattsmouth, Galloway with a basket
and a free toss and McCIeary and
Trlvely with field goal toed the 33
to 9 finish.
