MORE TIME GRANTED
Hill's Attorney Granted Twenty Days
to File His Brief.
A CASS COUNTY GIRL ELOPES.
The Supreme Court Afllrum the Finding
ot District Court In the Caw of
Aua K. Whit v. til Bur
lington Kellef.
The Extension Granted.
The supreme court acted last week
on the motion filed by Attorney Gen
eral Hastings to dismiss the appeal of
Murderer Harry Hill, on the ground
that his brief had not been filed within
the time allowed by the court, by giv
ing Matthew Gering, Hill's counsel,
twenty days further time in which to
present his brief. Tbe court accom
panied the order with the statement
that if it is not complied with the
judgment of the lower court will be
affirmed and the appeal dismissed. As
the brief in question is now in the
hands of the printer and will be com
pleted within a few days, it seems
quite certain that the supreme court
will hardly get to a disposal of the case
any earlier than September. Hill will
still enjoy the company of Jailor Den
son for several months.
An Kagle Girl Klopea.
Foster Seacrest, brother of the bus
iness manager of the Lincoln Journal,
and Miss Daisy Ward of Eagle, left
Lincoln Wednesday of last week for
Omaha, where it was their purpose to
become one for all time. Their mar
riage forms a fitting culmination to
something of a romance. Seacrest was
formerly in business in Eagle, and the
young couple became conrinced that
they were made for one another. A
stern parent frowned, however, and as
the young lady is not quite of age, he
held the whip hand and ordered the
young lady to stay at, home until she
attained her majority, which will be in
November. This was too long to wait,
and Seacrest went to Omaha Tuesday
and secured a license. The lady in
the case had previously been granted
permission to visit relatives in Lin
coln, and she took a train Wednesday
morning for Omaha and became Mrs.
Seacrest.
The White Cane Affirmed.
Lawyer Matt Gering is in high
glee, his merriment having its
foundation in the fact that the su
preme court has handed down a
judgiaent affirming the decision of the
district court of this county, in the
case of Mrs. Annie White vs. the Bur
lington Voluntary Relief department.
Mrs. White's husband, it will be re
membered, died in thi3 city some four
years ago, after an illness of several
weeks. Prior to his illness he had
joined and paid in his money as a
member of the relief department, but
as a policy had not yet been issued to
him the department refused to pay
either the $1,000 due on the policy, or
any of the sick beneSts. Mrs. White
sued before County Judge Ramsey and
was accorded a judgment for both the
insurance and the benefits, and in dis
trict court the case went the same way.
The relief department appealed
to the state supreme court, and
yesterday the latter tribunal affirmed
the decision, which gives the widow
$1,000 insurance and $134 in sick bene
fits. Mr. Gering was Mrs. White's at
torney and he naturally feels jubilant
over the result.
Divided the Property to Suit Himself.
Cliff Benfer ana a man named
"Reddy" Woods are having trouble
over the right of possession of a horse
They own a team in partnership, but
are unable to equitably divide tbe
property for the reason that one horse
is a more valuable animal than tbe
other. On Monday night Woods went
to the barn and saddled up the best
horse, saying that be was going outfor
a ride. His ride was prolonged for
several days, when it occurred to his
partner that he did not intend to re
turn. Sheriff Eikenbary took charge
of the case, and caused postal cards to
be sent out, describing the horse and
man, and Friday word was received
from Waverly that Woods had been
arrested at that place within ten
minutes after the marshal had re
ceived the postal card, and the horse
was found in a livery stable.
Woods can not be charged with
horse stealing, because he owns
half the property, and replevin
proceedings cannot be had because one
partner has as much right to possession
of the horse as the other. The only
way out appears to be for the partners
to agree to an amicable settlement, or
to have a receiver appointed for the
property.
A Very Complicated Case.
Cliff Benfer returned from Waverly
on Saturday evening, without having
reached any settlement of tbe horse
controversy between himself and
"Reddy" Woods. As he had no war
rant for Woods' arrest he could not
secure his return to this city. Judge
Archer advised him by telephone to
settle all claims and costs against tbe
property and secure possession of the
horse, but the liveryman at iWaverly
refused to surrender tbe horse to him.
Woods was released from jail, but was
re-arrested Sunday night, at the re
quest of Sheriff Eikenbary, and again
charged with horse stealing. When
the marshal at Waverly found Woods
he was suffering from a crushed foot
the result of being stepped on by a
horse while in the livery stable.
"Redely" Woods Brought Hack.
When Deputy Sheriff Ilolloway and
Cliff Benfer reached Waverly Mon
day morning they found that the horse,
over which there is much controversy
between Benfer and Woods, had been
taken away by a liveryman from Have
lock named Milton Broadwater. He
was followed to Hayelock, but was not
located. Benfer intended to replevin
the horse, but was compelled to return
home without the animal. The deputy
sheriff brought Woods to l'lattsmouth
and lodged him in jail to await trial
an a charge of petit larceny.
Woods was taken before Jurist;
Archer on Tuesday fr trial, when
he plead guilty to the charge and was
lined $5 and costs. In default of pay
ment he was remanded to jail. The
costs in the case are unusually heavy,
so that it will require seven days im
prisonment for Col. Woods to applease
the wrath of outraged justice.
The Celebration.
L'lattsmouth was called upon to en
tertain a crowd of visitors yesterday
which numbered fully twenty-five
hundred souls. They came from all
directions, even Iowa furnishing a
full quota, and by ten o'clock in the
forenoon the streets were literally
packed like the proverbial sardine box.
There was plenty to do and see, and
after the crowd had gone the rounds
of the town for an hour or more, the
industrial parade was started down
Main street from the corner of Sev
enth. This feature of the celebration
was really a revelation, inasmuch as it
surpassed for excellence all expecta
tions. The floats were all tastefully
arranged and did great credit to tbe
following firms who were represented:
Dovey & Son.
B. & M. shops.
Fred Gorder & Son.
Hall & Son.
Plattsmouth Cheese factory.
Anthony Marble works.
J. I. Unruh.
W.G.Keefer.
Plattsmouth Bottling works.
Chinese Polish company.
Western Dry Goods company.
City Steam Laundry.
S. L. Greeson.
Kelly's Island.
Patterson & Kuntzmaun.
Meisinger & Lohmann.
City Bakery.
After the parade the crowd ad
journed to Garfield park, where the
usual fourth of July exercises were
carried out, and included an address
bythe Hon. Simon Cameron of Broken
Bow.
The afternoon was given over to
sports and the turners' exhibition.
tbe ball game and tbe bicycle races
served to amuse all. The display of
fireworks from the top of high school
bill last night was unusually fine, and
served as a fitting conclusion to the
most successful celebration given in
Plattsmouth for many years.
On the Wheel.
The bicycle road races yesterday
afternoon occasioned more genuine
interest than any other feature of the
celebration. The crowd which lined
up along the course numbered many
hundreds, proving rather conclusively
that bicycling as a sport is popular
and has come to stay. The twelve
mile race was started ot tbe corner of
Seventh and Main. There were five
starters, tbe riders and handicaps be
ing as follows: Louie Thomas, 8 min
utes; Walter Thomas, 5 minutes; J. II.
Martin, 4 minutes; Jas. Bright, 3 min
utes; Tom Parmele, scratch. Bright,
the three minute man, was picked as a
winner but just after the start he suf
fered a collision with a boy who
walked in his way and be was thrown
from bis wheel onto tbe pavement and
sustained a broken shoulder bone.
The other riders proceeded without ac
cident. Louie Thomas was never
overtaken and secured first place prize,
Tom Parmele being second and Walt
Thomas third. Tom Parmele made
tbe distance in a trifle under 44 min
utes and landed tbe first time prize.
But for Bright's unfortunate fall the
race throughout was brim full of in
terest. The four-mile novice race for
county riders only, was won by Jas.
Holmes in 14:19, McGinnis Churchill
being second.
How the Boycott Worked.
The editor of the Daily Times at
Glenwood instituted a boycott on our
4th of July celebration, and in a
previous issue The Journal stated
that a free celebration was one of the
institutions that could not be success
fully boycotted. In order that the
editor of the Times may know
just bow insignificent his boycott
turned out to be, we will
state that Ferryman O'Neill counted
the teams that crossed from Mills
county on the 4th, and up to two
o'clock in tbe afternoon one hundred
and fourteen loaded wagons bad
crossed on the free ferry. More J
crossed after that hour, but the ferry
man did not count them. It is esti
mated that fully six hundred people i
from Mills county celebrated the 4th
in Plattsmouth.

JUSTICE AUt'HEK'S COUNT.
Judgment for $35.43 was given the
Dayton Whip company by default
against Phil Sauter & Co., in Judge
Archer's court.
In the case of Calvin ft. Tabor vs.
the Missoui Pacific railway company
Judiie Archer gave the plaintiff a
judgment for $200.
Jacob Coffinan plead guilty in police
court on Tuesday to a charge of as
saulting Conductor Berry. Judge
Archer assessed u fine of $2.50 and
costs, total $6.80.
"Samp"Carnes was on trial Tuesday
morning before Judge Archer charged
w ith assaulting one of his neighbors,
but the judge concluded from the testi
mony tint no assault had been com
mitted, and "Samp" was discharged.
The case of Fred Woodson vs. un
drew Iledlund, a suit for $5 for pro
fessional services as a detective, was
set for hearing before Judge Archer
list Tuesday, but was continued
generally on account of default of the
judge.
Judge Archer decided the case of
D. S. Draper vs. Conrad Vallery last
Saturday in favor of the plaintiff. It
appears that the land of the parties is
divided by a line fence, which was to
be kept in repair by both, half by each
of them. Draper's cattle found a hole
in the fence and got into Vallery's
fields, and the latter held the cattle
for damages. Draper began replevin
proceedings, and at the trial it was
shown that the cattle got through
Vallery's portion of the line fence, so
the judge decided that Draper was en
titled to possession of the cattle.
COUKT KOOM NOTES.
Policeman Fitzpatrick arrested a
one-armed tramp at the depot last
Saturday on suspicion that be had bur
glarized a house at Oreapolis, the man
who was burgled positively identifiying
the fellow as being the guilty party.
He has not yet been given a prelimi
nary hearing on the charge.
Itliutl Scholars Kjecteci.
The five students at the institu
tion for tbe blind, says the Ne
braska City News, who believed that
school was an asylum and not an
educational institution will now have
an opportunity to settle tbe question
in court. Last Thursday Judge Hay
ward, as attorney for Superintendent
Ebright, had an order of ejectment
issued, which was placed in the hands
of Officers Faunce and Warner, who
went to the institute and ejected all
of the five they could find. This will
compel the scholars to fight for rein
statement and places the burden of
proof on them. Tbe five scholars are:
Owen P. White, Fred Curtis, John
Johnson, Fred Hollingsworth and
Christian Deuhholm.
The Proper Sentiment.
It is said on good authority that the
reported small pox scare at l'latts
mouth is a fake from beginning to end,
and was manufactured by outside lr
responsible parties for the sole purpose
of injuriag the celebration at that
place next Wednesday. We have as
surance that there is not the least
danger, and if there was the citizens of
Plattsmouth would be the first to warn
the people to keep away. Union
Ledger.
As a matter of fact, the vile report
that Plattsmouth was housing small
pox patients has been circulated in
other Cass county towns than Union,
the intent being, as the Ledger says.
to keep people away from our celebra
tion. The Journal compliments the
Ledger for the fairness with which it
treats the question.

six o'clock this morning, aged twenty
one years, four months and six days.
The deceased was a member of the
Modern Woodmen of America, and
the funeral will be held under the au

the home of the latter at ten o'clock
Tuesday night, aged sixty-one years.

several months ar. from tiie effects
of which she never recovered, and
which resulted in her death. The re
mains were taken to Missouri Valley,
Iowa, on l.'st evening's train for bur

The new police officers assumed the
duties of their offices Sunday morn
ing. Isaac Dunn succeeded Jas. Grace
as city marshal and John Murray will
be night policeman, succeeding Lyman
Kildow. The new marshal formerly
served the city in the same official
capacity during Mayor Richey's re
gime, and discharged the duties of the
office in a very satisfactory manner.
Jas. Grace, the retiring marshal, has
made one of t he most efficient officers
Plattsmouth has ever had. lie has al
ways been courteous and attentive to
his duties, and never allowed his "au
thority" to get the better of his good
sense and judgment, a very common
fault among police officers generally.
Mayor Newell has very wisely con
cluded to make no change in John
Fitzpatrick's case, and such conclusion
will be heartily endorsed by every
business man and tax-payer.
