Brownyille Matters.
Distriot Oourt.
District Court was in session last
woek. There was but ono jury trialj
and but fow witnesses nnd litigants,
and as farm or a wanted to got homo as
soon as posslblo to attend to spring
work, it was an exceedingly dull court,
and failed to bo a bonanza for tho ho
tols and restaurants; and scarcely sue
ceodod in marring the usual holiday
polish of tho excessively quiet and
law abiding old burg.
Judge Pound was promptly In his
seat Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock, and
Sheriff Tate made tho usual formal
proclamation, that tho honorable dis
trict court is now open, etc., and called
tho spectators and attendants to order.
Tho Sheriff had ox-Sheriff D. Plas
tors employed as second In command,
with a corps of lioutanantB, viz: Tim
McLaughlin, John M. Klocknor, Jim
Johnson and Grant Clover. Thero was
but little use for juries, at this term,
and there was but ono indictment
found by the grand jury. Tho latter,
however, got in two days and u half,
buing discharged Thursday at noon.
Tlio lawyers present won' John C.
Watsoiu district, attorney, T. R. Ste
venson, Nebraska City; U. J. Stowpll,
Sheridan; W. F. Straub, Cincinnati,
Ohio: Gen. Montgomery, Lincoln, and
the Hrownville Bar, viz: J. II. Hroady,
Osborn & Taylor, J. S. Stall, V.T.
Rogers, L. L. llulhurd, O. A. Cecil, in
cluding V. II. Hoover, district clerk,
O. F. Mullen, the genial, eiliciont uud
accommodating court reporter. Tho
court and bar got along most pleasant
ly indoed with each othor, the lawyers
indulging in nothing more disagreeable
than supposed sharp sarcasm and witty
retorts. They all like Judgo.Pound.
lie is a perfect gentlwnan, and 'as per
fect a specimen of the ifoblost Work of
God as any of themi could 'remember
of all the profession they ever know.
If wo had a good case wo would rather
leave it with Judgo Pound than any
jurv.
There was a pleasant episode to the
usual monotonous i untitle of court
proceedings on Friday evening, when
Mr, Rogers rosoaud proceeded to make
some remurks, which the judge failed
to get the precise gist of until Rogers
handed him a neat leathern case and
said somoching about white gloves, a
present from tho lawyers. Judge P.
responded in a few well chosen words,
accepting the gift. Tho reason of this
neat littlo presentation was tho ob
servance of a custom with judicial
bar to present the judge a pair of
white gloves kid, wo presumo, as woro
those on occasions when there aro no
criminal cases during the term.
In the case of Barbara Dodd against
hor brother, John Bennett, to recover
for maintenance of their father, tho
judgment of tho court was that plain
tiff pay costs of suit, and suit dis
missed. In tho action for damagi i by Bonj.
Cooney against Patrick Burke Sr. and
Ji.tlio jury gave a verdict in favor of
Coonuy for $200.
Tho slander case of Dr. Ii. Boll An
drews against Eli Terry was continued
on account of defects in depositions on
both sides.
Adolph Carlson, widower of Mrs.
Shadloy, was granted a divorco from
his wife, Fannie M.
Mrs. Lavlna J. McMalns was grant
ed a divorco from her husband, John
II. McMuitu.
Mrs. Nellie Daily Dillon received a
decree of divorco from Oscar Dillon,
and judgmont to recover 81,000,
Fannie E. Johnson was divorced
from Jno. W.Johnson.
In the action in error of Aaron Pal
mer against W, "Ross "Witchorly, the
court rendered judgment against the
plaintiff in error, and ordered execu
tion to carry into effect tho Judgment
of tho court below.
Lewis M. Swan was dlvorcod from
Sarah II. Swan; causo, abandonment.
State of Nobraska ys. 8m, C. Ben
nett and Georgo Neal, for violation of
liquor laws. In regard to Bennett a
nolle was entered. NohI paid 50 and
gave Bennett and Dr. Andrews aB uuro-
ties for the remaining 950 of tho 8100
tine.
In tho cano of the State vs. Jacob
Hull and Thos. Townsond, of Tecum
seh, the grand jury failed to pud sulll
cient grounds, for an indictment. Tho
parties in this case worn arretted last
fall, at tho instance of one Edwards.
Tho matter was examined bofore
Judgo Stull, who put them under 81,000
Donas, oacn.
State vs. Jas.F.Gagan was dismissed.
State vs. Josse Graliam, iudluted for
adultery, continued, defendant entor-
ing recogniranco of $600, with Thomas
M. Self as surety.
There woro a number nf othor civil
cases disposod of bosrdes thoso roforrcd.
to abovo, but not of interest to our
readers. Court adjourned Friday even
ing, until tho Soptomber term.

Mr. Pollock wits an old settle? of

was woil known to tho peoplo of tho
county. Ho served two tonus in tho
Stato Legislature, and for about ten
years as postmaster of Brownville. In
1801 he entered tho army for the Union
as a lieutenant in tho Nebraska 1st.,
where ho served during tho war. Mr.
Pollock was unwoll during most of tho
winter, but did not seem alarmingly
sick until a weok or two previous to
his death. Being conscious of his nip
idly approaching dissolution he dictat
ed roganling his funeral. It waa his
wish to bo buried by old soldlors.choos
iug Capt, R. C. Bergor, of his old com

nil of which was dune in an appropriate
and imprestlvo mminor. Tho old sold

and ft squad of tvjelvo with guns led
the largo procession to tho cemetery ,
whero they fired tho regulation salute
of honor over his grave.

Somebody circulated tho story that
Jim Blaino was about to turn from tho
evil of his ways and be a Congrega
tional preacher. Blaine denies it. Iri
fact, he became angry when he heard
of the effort tomako a preacher instead
of a president of him, and said right
out in meetin' that it was "an infamous ,
lie." Without intonding nny affront
to Mr. Blaine, somoof his pious friends
may really think preaching would bo a
good thing for him to "catch onto," as
ho would make such a splendid exhort
er for revival mootlngs. And then ho
could bo a preacher to much easier
than president.
Indian visits to Washington are bo
coming a vory common thing, thore
being a dologation of them from some
tribe there constantly. Indinn com
missioner Prico indicated a rational
stnto of mind when saying about some
redskins thero now boring him: "I
think this is tho last Indinn pow-wow
woahall have whllo I am commission-,
or. It is perfoct nonsense, their com
ing here. Thoy don't know what they
want when they start, and the longer
they remain the less thoy know, and
it is only a waste of timo und money."
