Other Happenings.
A Demented Man at Large.
The other day Oscar Thompson, who
has been slightly demented for some
time, and who has been carefully
watched by his mother, managed to
get oat of her sight for a little while
and soon disappeared. A search of
the town failed to reveal his where
abouts, and the authorities of sur
rounding towns were notified. The
following, from the Omaha World-
Herald, may throw some light on the
matter: "Chief bigwart has a letter
from S. C. Thompson of Plattsmouth
asking that the Omaha authorities bf
on the watch for Oscar Thompson, hit?
brotht-r. He Btated that Oscar,
young man of twenty-one years,
13
slightly demented. From the accurate
description of youngThompson, Jailor
Havey is satisfied that he was given
lodgings at the station Sunday night.'
Death of J. W. Colvln.
The remains of John W. Colvin were
brought to this city from Araphoe on
1J. & M. train No. 4 this morning, and
were taken out to the Eieht Mile
Grove cemetery, for interrment. Hev.
Oouffer of the M. K. church officiated
Mr. Colvin was about sixty-five
years of age, and was unmarried. For
several Years he has been a sufferer
with Bright's disease, which eventually
caused his death.
He was well-known in this city,
having resided here for many years
lie was an old soldier and enlisted
with the First Nebraska Cavalry. Mr
Colvin was a brother of Mesdames J,
C. Cummins, Samuel Richardson, Zeke
Kennedy and A. Drew, all of this city.
A Long- Drive For Nothing.
Tuesday evenine the "Foresters"
team of the local Modern Woodman
camp journeyed out to Cedar Creek in
a large carryall, where they had been
invited by the camp of that place to
initiate a new member. The "Forres
ters" took along enough paraphernalia
to make the ceremony an interesting
one for the prospective candidate, and
arrived at their destination in due
time. It was then discovered that the
candidate, who was a young German
farmer, had not put in an appearance,
asd it wa3 learned that he had
"weakened" and decided to wait and
let the Cedar Creek Woodmen perform
the initiating act. This did not suit
the Plattsmouth"Foresters," however,
and they proposed going out after the
victim. After a drive of six miles,
they located the young German, but
all sorts of persuasion would not in
duce him to "ride the goat" that night,
so the discomfitted "Foresters" were
compellad to return to Cedar Creek
without him. The Woodmen of that
place did all in their power to aleviate
their dampened spirits, and the even
ing was very pleasantly spent. Never
theless, the "Foresters" of Cass camp,
No. 322, give their friends a stony stare
when asked what kind of a time they
had. .
Didn't Want to be Left.
A little old man with a large valise
created considerable excitement at the
depot this afternoon. When No. 7
arrived the mail car was uncoupled
and the train pulled up the track a
short distance, in order that the pay
car could be attached to the train. The
old man evidently thought the train
would not come back, so he made a
run and managed to get on the front
end of the baggage car. Seeing his
mistake, he jumped off the moving
train and after cutting several queer
antics, tumbled over, his valise, hat
and spectacles all flying in different
directions. He was assisted to his feet
by some bystanders and, after feeling
in his coat pocket to assure himself
that he had not broken a half pint
bottle, which was protruding from his
pocket, he gathered up his chattels
and boarded the train, which had by
this time backed down to the depot.
Kye Flacked by a Crane.
Johnny Simpson, a sixteen-year-old
boy of Tecumseh, came up from Pern,
Neb., last evening enroute to Omaha
to consult an oculist. YoungSimpson
went hunting Monday and his com
panion shot and wounded a sand hill
crane. Young Simpson ran to secure it
when the crane revived and plucked
him in the right eye almost severing
the member from its socket. The physi
cians at Peru thought that Dr. Gifford
of Omaha could save the eye. Ne
