How Judge Wall Kept
Out of Olive Gangs’
Clutches.
SOME EARLY HISTORY OF
SHERMAN COUNTY.
Gets His Captors Into Court by
a Ruse and Nealy Turns
the Tables.
i From the Ravenna News.)
Some years ago when Nebraska was a new
state, on what was then the "frontier " but
which is now thickly populated, there were
numerous lawless characters. These rough
classes were not confined entirely to the
ordinary horse thieves and cattle rustlers, but
some of them were men of wealth and con
siderable influence among those of the same
ilk. One of the best known shady characters
was a man named Olive, who had surrounded
himself with as reckless a band of horse
thieves and desperadoes ns could ^e found in
the entire west. Stealing of Stock, driving
iyway settlers and other things o' a criminal
nature even murder, was eharg-d against the
outfit. Depredations became so extensive, and
so many honest men were the victims, that it
was at last decided to put an end to the
operations of the gang.
The Olive laction was so strong that even
the county officers were elected to the various
stations who would d > the bidding of Olive
One of the leaders against the faction was tin
Hon. Aaron Wall, then a your attorney and
the county judge of sherman county. He wa
most active and open in opposition to the work
of the gang lie was a man to be feared by
evil doers. Every inch a man of will and
muscle, conscientious arid fearless he was one
of the number that the Olives wished to see
out of the country,
A charge of murder was made against Olive
anti a number of bis followers. The case was
likely to come up before Judge Wall. A plan
was devised by the (l ives to get Wall out of
the way. Acco dingiy. on some trumped up
charge, a warrant was secured for Wall s
arrest from a justice of the peace who was
part of the machinery in th»* hands or the
Olives A number of Olive's cowlxiys wen
sworn in as constabies, and given power to
place the judge under arrest Heavily armed,
bright and early one morning, a half a dozen
cowboys rode up to the cottage of Judge Wall
called him to the door and with drawn guns
ordered h'm to accompany them. The judge
was unarmed. II- was as cool as a proverbial
cucumber. He asked for an explanation, and
then some of the party thought of the warrant
and produced it from his pocket and read it to
the judge. All right. " said Wall. • the law
must be observed " He requested that he be
allowed to go toth court honse. as tnere was
some little matters that required his attention.
This request was granted, and with a half a
dozen cowboys surrounding him. and gathering
new comers in the crowd they passed through
the streets, the jtiqge made his wav to the ,
court house. The crowd of his townsmen
gathered in the court room. The judge walked
to his desk, apparently occupied himself with
some papers there, but suddenly turning
around saw the sheriff of the county. With
out delay and in a voice that sounded through
out the building, lie said: "The sheriff will
please call the court to order, in special
session.’ Immediatly there was a silepce that
was broken only when the sheriff called out:
“Know ye all that the county court of the eoun- 1
ty of Sherman is in session.’'
The face of Judge Wall remained
undisturbed. There was a firmness in his
voice when his next order to the sheriff was
given: "Mr. Sheriff, 1 notice in this room a
number of armed men, contrary to the laws of
this state. You will immediatly arrest and j
disarm them and you will call upon any
citizens present to assist you if necessary."
The half a dozen cowboys for the first time
discovered that the game had been turned
against them There was little protest. The
riders of the range were among the friends of
the judge. The arms of the gang were secured
and then they were arragined before the court.
Each were heavily fined for carrying concealed
weapons, and ordered placed in the county
jail until the tines were paid. None of the
cowboys remained very long in confinement,
but when they left the town of Loup City there
was none of them had any money left, and a
few had sold their ponies to pay the amount of
their fine.
There was no further attemp to arrest Judge
Wall, though for many months his life was in
constant danger. Olive was given a Ulal. cele
brated in the law annals of Nebraska. By a
technicality he escaped punishment and left
the country. He only lives in memory now.
Judge Wall Is still a resident of Loup City,
and has been numerous times honored by the
people and at present is a member of’-the
of the
state sunate. It is seldom he talks
strennouidays of a score uf years ago.
Judge Wall, the hero of the above sketch, is
to deliver the Decoration day address in
Ravenna. May 30th.
