OCTOBER 15 A Pioneer of Nebraska And Tor Years a Leading Attorney of The State Judge Jefferson H. Broady, long a well known lawyer in South eastern Nebraska, died at his j home in Lincoln, Thursday Oct. ' 15th, at about the hour of four j o’clock in the afternoon. He had j not been in robust health for some months previous to his death, but there was no appre hension on/the part of his family and friends that anything serious would result on that account, and but for an unexpected stroke of paralysis some six weeks ago, he might have regained his health. It was ordered otherwise, and while there was hope of his re covery from the first stroke of the fell disease, a second one ensued the Sunday before his death, the result could not be doubtful. He is gone and will not be seen as of yore, when our court shall sit. Judge Broady came to Nebras ka some forty-one years ago, and located at Brownville in Nemaha county. It was about the time Nebraska put off its territorial swaddling clothes and became a member of the family of states that compose the great republic He did not help to build the state but he rendered marked assist ance in illustrating its judicial polity. For several years he was associated in the practice of law at Brownville, with the late E. W. Thomas, who was for a long lim.. a leading member of the bar of the state. Judge Broady was an able lawyer and an honest man. but he didn’t blazen the fact on his card or proclaim it from the housetops. He was modest, unassuming and to some extent retiring in his general dis position, but firm in his convic tions, and untiring in his efforts in the service of his clients for whom he fought. In the course of his career in Nebraska, Judge Broady was honored by the people with several offices of public trust,and was true to them all. His eight years on the bench of our district court, in point of efficient service, will compare favorably with that of any of his predecessors or successors in that eminent station. This is not a biography, but a simple note of the fact that the country has lost a good citizen; the profession of the law one of its best practitioners, and the writer a friend of long years standing. He is the last but one of the lawyers in Nebraska, south of the Platte River, who were here in the decade of I860. The others have one by one preceded him to their rest and to silence, as the ceasless procession of tne years, will carry all living in the time to come. The writer recalls among that number many that were known to our present citizenship, and 1 many others who were not known. I Of those who were here in 1800 j but three in the stare are still in : life. The others are all dead. We may recall the names of Daniel Gantt, O.P. Mason, Wm.II.Taylor, Wm.McRanan,Nebraska City; T. i M- Marquette and Pottinger ! of Plattsraoutli: l'. C. Johnson, 1 Dan McGary, O. B- Hewitt, K. W. Thomas and James Bedford | of Brownville; R. S. Dundy, A i Schoenheit of Ralls Citv, and Gov. David Butler of Pawnee 'City. These were all residents of the South Platte country, and the roll of the dead north of that river is still more numerous, and may not be mentioned here. Among all these Jefferson H. 1 Broady, the last tocross the river, was the peer of the very best He has been with us, served the purpose of his creation, and gone hence to his reward. Peace to his ashes. R THE LAST GAME Falls City and Highland Meet With Our Team Winner Only one of the two games ad vertised for last week betweeen Falls City and Highland was played,and only a portion of that, with our boys in the lead. There was a little trouble between the players, which is greatly regret ted by all, and as some of our boys were going to leave town which would weaken our team to an alarming extent, it was thought best to pay the visitors the amount of their guarantee and allow them to go home, which they did. This will doubtless be the last game this season, and it seems to us that now is an opportune time to talk base ball for next year. With the splendid bunch of players we have,and this year’s record to back them, there is no reason why a champion base ball team for 1909 could not be made an assured fact. The boys deserve much praise for the efforts they made this season, and for the excellent sport they furnished our people. It has all been done without one cent of recompense to them, and it is sincerely hoped that our peo ple will show their appreciation by a boost for a 1‘*0<i base ball team. WERE ON THE TRAIN Two Falls City Ladies Passengers in Wreck Near Atchison While returning from Kansas City last week, Mrs. Allen D. May of Auburn and Mrs. Will Uhlig of this city, were passen gers on the train which was wrecked near Atchison. Both ladies were pretty badly bruised and shaken up. being unable to leave their beds for a couple of days. On Saturday the claim agent ol the Missouri Pacific was in the city and called on the ladies giving them $35 and $75 re spectfully, in settlement of the injuries received. The wreck was caused by the train running onto a burning culvert, the same going down. Three cars were burned includ ing the coach occupied by the above ladies. Mrs. Uhlig received the most severe injuries as she was stand. | ing up when the crash came and was thrown across the back of the seat. WEATHER UNFAVORABLE Rain Interfered With Republican Meeting st Preston A large crowd of voters gath ered at Preston on Tuesday even ing to listen to the speaking by C. F. Reavis and the legislative candidates. The latter were there but Mr. Reavis was unable to fill his appointment on account of the heavy rain. He had been in Lincoln and was met at the train here by George Holland and Roy Heacock with Roy’s automobile, but when about half way to Preston they found the roads so bad from the heavy rain that they were forced to turn back. There was a good meeting however, addressed by J. R.Cain, jr., John Wiltse and our candi dates for the legislature. It has been arranged that C. F. Rc-avis will address a meeting at 1’reston on Tuesday evening, Oct. 27th. Loses Good Horse ’‘Old Nell," who has done such good and faithful service on the laundry wagon for so many 'years, is no more, she having died on Monday night at the ripe old age of years. With this loss coming a* it does so soon after the burning of the laundry. “China ’has abcut made up his tnind that there is a hoo-doo hanging around some place near. DOUBLE HEADER FALLS CITY ACCEPTS CHAL LENGE OF AUBURN TEAM Wins Two Games of Basket Ball From Opponents on Last Sat urday Afternoon About t wo week-, ago our High School bo vs and girls’ basket ball teams received an invitation to come to Auburn Saturday, Oct. 17. for the purpose of being slaughtered by players representing the Auburn High High School. Accordingly, last Saturday morning our teams, loaded in three automobiles, made their way over hill and vale to the fair village to the northward, to play a practice game. They arrived in Auburn at high noon and were well fed be fore the game. At two thirty the girls’ teams came forth upon the field of bat tle. The whistle blew, Lucille our center, gave the signal and the game was on. The feature of the game was the guarding by Maud Davis and Grace Reavis, by reason of which the ball scarcely got into Auburn’s half of the field. Camiile Leyda did some gxiod work at goal throwing and our two forewards, Clara Stockton and Bertha Stumbo were free from the grounds nearly all the time. One of the Peru Normal’s star players said the team work was the best he had ever seen in a girls’ game When the dust had cleared away and Auburn had linaally awakened to what was going on the score stood 21 to <> in favor of Falls City. The score in the boys’ game was a little closer but no time in the game did Auburn show either as good individual or team work as Falls City. I vast year when our boys bea{ Auburn, Auburn attributed it to the fact that our boys were heavier, but this year they have by far the heavier team in avoir dupois We haye proved to you now, Auburn that your defeat last year was not due to the boys weight. When the din of battle ceased, the referee announced* “Falls City wins the game, score 20 to 14.” Everyone of the boys played the game every minute. The line up was Fred Herbster center; David Keavis and Frank Kanaly, forwards; Amos Yoder and Virgil Falloon, guards. We were nearly “slaughtered’’ alright but we had two good “practice” games and brought home their scalps. Messrs. Nel son, Crook and Grush drove the cars, and much credit is due them for the careful manner in which they handle their cars and for their courtesy and kindness. The salute and sign of recog nition of the crowd was, one finger up and two short whistles, taught us by Nelson, who never forget to salute those wrho passed. The ladies of Auburn hod a hard time taking care of Crook during the game. Everyone enjoyed the trip, and especially the victory. Rally! Rally!! Rally!!!
