the fact of his departure or his des

several people when and where he was
going. He stated that for several
years past his domestic relation were
anything but pleaaant, which was not
caused entirely by fault on his part,
and that the articles which appeared
in the Omaha papers were authorized
by his wife. He admits having: had
trouble at Fremont several years ago,
and charges his wife with being the
cause. Referring to the latest phase
an his case, he rays that he intends to
remain in business in this city and

business opening bting offered him at
Kansas City.

A WELCOME INDUSTRY
Plattsmouth Bushes To the Fore
With a Big Cigar Factory.
CITY "WATEB, IS ABUNDANCE.
Superintendent of the Water Company
Reports That. U Dangei or a Water
Famine Baa raaaed That
BaTelock Shooting.
Some four weeks ago tbe mention
was exclusively made in these columns
that Julius Pepperberg, the local cigar
manufacturer, was preparing for a trip
to New York City, with a view of look
ins through the big factories of tbe
east for tbe purpose of acquainting
himself with the methods used in tbe
operation of those concerns. Mr. Pep
perberg 's plan was to increase tbe
working force and output of his local
factory, and he wisely concluded that
a personal visit to some of the big
eastern factories would be of material
advantage, should he conclude to make
such a change. lie departed at the
appointed time, and now comes the
cheering news from him at New York
City that be will make the con
lea plated change. The following cir
cular which Mr. Pepperberg is issuing
from New York City to the trade in
ibis section will testify to the truth ol
the above assumption:"

Julius Pepperberg.
Plattsmouth. Neb.
Mr. Pepperberg's factory is alreadv
the largest in the entire state, and
when It is known that he proposes to
more than treble his present working
force, it thus becomes apparent that
it gives Plattsmouth an institution
which is highly desirable and which
will add materially to the trade of the
town. Under the new arrangement
the Pepperberg cigars will be ex
clusively handled by one of the largest
jobbing bouses in the Missouri valley
and it is the determination of tbe
wholesalers to continually pushPepper
bere's cigars to tbe fore.
The Journal sincerely trusts that
Mr. Pepperberg's enterprise may meet
with the success it so justly merits.
Plenty of City Water.
Sup't Coursey of the water company
informs The Journal that the supply
of water at the pump house since
Tuesday evening has been subjected
to a material increase, and that there
now exists no possibility of the water
running so low that the company will
be unable to furnish an abundance
for all the requirements. The
standpipe is, as of yore, kept con
tinually full. Mr. Coursey and several
of the eity officials were out on Thurs
day testing tbe hydrants, and tbe
pressure was found to be up to require
ments and gave entire satisfaction.
Baveiocfc'a Shooting Scrape.
The papers which officially charge
Carter, tbe II are lock man, with shoot
ing at F. J. Aldenbruck with intent to
kill have been filed in tbe district court
of Lancaster county. From the com
plaint it appears that Carter beard
young Aldenbruck charge him with
stealing coal. Last Thursday after
noon Carter aggravated matters by
Bhooting Aldenbruck 1s dog and sending
an insulting note to the owner of the
pup. Later Carter and his wife went
ti AMnbi uck's store and became in
valved ia a dispute over a bill for $4.
Carter refused to pay the bill and hot
words ensued, during which Carter
drew a revolver and shoved it under
Aldenbruck-'s nose. Tbe latter dodged
under the counter, and by sliding a
couple of yard? along the floor, secured
his own gun. Then he ordered Carter
and his wife out of the store and
hastened their departure by firing a
bullet over their beads. The couple
left in some haste and a few moments
later a bullet came through the window
glass. An affidavit is filed going to
show that a man on 1 he street beard
Mrs. Carter remark to her husband:
"You didn't kill him; why don't you
shoot again?"
Cass Has the (iold-Fever.
The gold-fever has struck a section
of Cass county, as the following dis
patch in Friday's World-Herald from
Louisville wiil indicate:
Twenty years ago this winter J. G.
Eluber homesteaded and moved his
family on a rough piece of land, which
now borders the village of Louisville.
About the first thing to be done was to
bore for water. Himself and boys dug
down twenty-three feet when tbey
struck something that caused them to
wonder. It was coarse and heavy, but
is they were at that time somewhat
ignorant of the possible value of their
tind they dug on until they found
M ater and then walled up the well.
Of late years one of the sons. P. F.
Huber, has traveled considerable
through tbe western mining country,
and at last returned to his old home,
md has set a gang of men to work
-inking a shaft, and will give the find
f twenty years ago a thorough ex
mination
To the Wo'-M-Ilerald correspondent
Mr. Iluber said: "I have a great deal
of faith in the old well and am confi
dent there is gold in it, but whether in
paying quantities, will be determined
bv ur investigation However, we
!roposr making a thorough investiga
tion "
From the la of the land it is quite
robable that the old time find was the
-enuine hi tie'e. After the gold-fever
California had abated an old miner,
who went out from this county, on hi
return took his pans and began an in
vestigation of the sard in tbe Platte
river. lie washed out from 25 to 30
ents worth of gold dust per day here,
iid then be went up the Platte above
Ashlar. d where he washed out 40 cents
per day.
In early days the river bed was south
f its present course, and tbe Iluber
farm is located on the banks of the old
bed. There is a sharp bend in the river
at this point, and tbe idea is advanced
that the object of their search was de
posited here by the channel striking
this point. At any rate everything is
putting on a lively appearance, and
many inhabitants are beginning to
'ake the fever in genuine old-time
style. Property here is not for sale at
present, and everybody is talking of
gold and prospects.
Retrenchment at Haveloclt.
The master mechanic of the B. & M.
shops at Ilavelock has received orders
from the headquarters at Omaha to
reduce the working force by discharg
ing fifty men. Accordingly on Fri
day some forty of tbe apprentices and
helpers in the machine and blacksmith
shops felt the keen blade of the re
trenchment ax descend upon their
beads, and are now at liberty to accept
any situation that comes their way.
It is also reported that tbe Platts
mouth shops will feel the effect of
further retrenchment in the matter of
fewer hours and five days per week.
Suicide at Nebraska City.
Hart well Baker, aged seventeen, shot
and instantly killed himself at Ne
braska City last Wednesday. In com
pany with Night Watchman Dugan he
was sitting in the watchman's house
on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
bridge, playing with a revolver. Two
chambers of the weapon were empty
and three loaded. The boy placed the
weapon to his temple and pulled the
trigger three times. The last time a
shell exploded and scattered his brains
about the room. No cause is known
for the commission of the rash act.

What Iloes This Mean ?
In the Glecwood Opinion of last
week the following appears in the
published proceedings of the board of
supervisors for Mills county:
Auditor's Office, Mills Co. )
Glenwood, Iowa. f
Regular session of board of super
visors, Jan 9th, 1894.
Tbe matter of the issuance of a ferry
license to O'Neil & Thomas being un
der consideration, the following pro
ceedings were bad and entered of
record, to-wit:
Whereas, On July 17th, 1892, the
board being then in regular session.

license Elijah i 'Neil and J. O.Thomas
had fullv complied with the law.
And whereas, on said day the board

license to the said O'Neil & Thomas
for one mile on either side of the cen
ter line of the right of way of the B. &
M R. R.. on the Iowa side of the Mis
souri, for a period of ten years from
said date; and whereas, by mistake
and oversight, the record of the board
was defective and did not fully contain
or conve tbe action of said board. Now,
theretore. to correct said record and to
make it conform fully to the purpose
intended and action of this board, we
1I0 herein grant and issue to tbe said
O'Neil & Thomas, for a period of ten
ears, from July 17th. 1893, exclusive
license to run and conduct a ferry, on
the Iowa side of the Missouri river,
for one mile on either side of the
center of the right of way of the B &
M. R. R . subject to the following con
ditions, to-wit: That the aaid O'Neil
& Thomas file a bond in the sum of
five hundred dollars, with good and
sufficient sureties, to be approved by
the auditor which has been done),
conditioned upon the faithful ob
servance of the law governing the run

What does the board of supervisors
for Mills count v mean by "an exclusive
franchise for ten years?" Does it
mean that Ferrvman Archer, a Ne
braska man, will not be allowed to
operate his ferry-boat (i. e. not be al
lowed to make a landing) within the
proscribed limit, and that Mr. O'Neil.
an Iowa man. will be given a monopoly
for a period of ten years? If that is
what it means, the board of commis-

sioners of Cass county should grant
Sam Archer an exclusive franchise on
. this side of the river for a like period,
: and provide a heavy penalty against
anyone else doing or attempting to do
a ferriage business within a mile of the
j B. & M. bridge. But, after all, the
! Missouri river is generally supposed to
be under theiegal control of the war
department, and the secretary may
I have power to grant franchises to flat-
boat ferries.
W an ted to Lynch Leon Loxier.
During the firemen's tournament
! Plattsmouth people became acquainted
with a professional sprinter or foot-
racer named Leon Lozier, who ran
with the home team in he state cham
pionship hose race. Lozier ia an all
round crook, hiB specialty being fake
foot races, and oue of his specialties
was worked on an Indian doctor at
Louisville last summer to the extent of
tSO. He has been engaged in other
crimes, and has been charged with
nearly everything on tbe criminal cal
endar except murder. He now stands
cnarged with an attempt at rape, his
victim being a five-year-old child of
one of his neighbors at Council Bluffs
Lozier was captured on a Missouri Pa
cific train at Omaha last Friday and
taken to Council Bluffs, where a mob
of several thousand people gathered
for the purpose of lynching bim. The
authorities finally dispersed tbe mob
and removed the prisoner to another
county for safe keeping. All Friday
night the Dodge Light Guards guarded
tbe court house to protect it from tbe
mob's fury.
Lozier has heretofore been charged
with the same crime at several other
small towns in Iowa, but has managed
to escape tbe punishment he bo richly
deserved.
Believe It's a Fake.
On Wednesday last a stranger ar
rived in tow n and stopped at the City
hotel, where be registered as L. G.
Powell, from Des Moines. He claimed
to be a physician in search of a loca
tion, and visited Plattsmouth for that
purpose. He alleges that on Wednes
day night he was assigned to room
eighteen at the hotel, and upon re
tiring locked his room door and re
moved the key and placed it upon a
center table. During the night he
awoke and was surprised to find his
room door ajar. He arose, picked up
the key and again locked the door,
leaving the key in tbe lock. In the
morning be discovered that his vest
bad been robbed of S35 in money and
bis gold watch and chain. Tbe rob
bery was reported to the police, who
examined every detail of the affair
and arrived at the conclusion that the
robbery smacked very strongly of be
ing a fake, the purpose being to secure
several days' board without paying
therefor. Mr Goos. tbe proprietor of
the hotel, has been in business here for
many. many, years, and his hostelry
has never vet had a charge placed
against it that would do credit to the
notorious Bender family.

DELIVERED THE CASH
Greenwood Bank Formally Turns
Over the County Funds.
THE PABKEB BTJBGLABY TRIAL
The Young Man May Find It m DlScnlt
Matter to Prove that His Previous
Reparation Has Been Be
yond Reproaeh.
The most recent development in tbe
county cash tangle is the paying over
of the money by the Greenwood Na
tional bank to tbe Bank of Commerce
of Louisville the new depository.
The Greenwood bank decided to re
linquish Monday and notice to that
effect was at once dispatched to tbe
county treasurer's office in this city.
Tbe cash comes, through tbe process
ofexchan e, by way of Omaha, and by
this time every red cent of it is
within the vaults of tbe Louisville
bank drawing 4 per cent interest for
tbe county.
The plan in which the supreme
court was to be petitioned to issue a
writ of mandamuB restraining tbe
county treasurer from drawing on tbe
Greenwood bank for the money, was
a temporary failure. The law firm of
Marquette, Deweese & Mall of Lin
coln had tbe matter in baud on behalf
of several Cass county tax payers, but
as tbe supreme court was not in ses
sion Monday when tbe application
was made, tbe Greenwood bank de
cided to pay over the funds and await
the next sitting of the supreme court
on Feb. 5. when the application will
be again presented and pushed with
renewed vigor.
Bert Parker's Trial.
The trial of Beit Parker, the former
Cass county boy who lived down at
Rock Bluffs, is in progress at Fre
mont, wbeie be is charged with having
burglarized a U. P. freight car. Law
yer Matt Gering journeyed to Fremont
on Tuesday to assist in Parker's defense,-
and several Plattsmouth people
went with him to testify as to the
prisoner's good character while he re
sided in this county. In this regard
the defense will doubtless be treated
to a sort of surprise, the same to be
furnished by ex-Deputy Sheriff John
Tighe. Some three years ago Parker
was arrested by the ex-deputy at Rock
Bluffs on the charge of rape, but he
crawled out by presenting proof that
he was under eighteen years of age.
Shortly after the episode Parker left
Rock Bluffs, and about a year later he
attempted a criminal assault upon a
four-year-old girl out in tbe western
part of tbe county. A warrant was
issued for bis arrest, but as he had
taken the precaution to flee, the officers
filed the paper away for future ose.
Mr Tighe was also a passenger for
Fremont on Tuesday and had tbeun
nsed warrant tucked safely within bis
inside pocket. It will be used by the
prosecution at the trial.
