JODGE JACKSON RESENTED
Now Daniel Burr Would Have Him
Punished.
Nellgh , Neb. , Nov. 1C. Special to
The News : The city marshal of Ne
llgh has a warrant in his possession
for the arrest of Hon. N. D. Jackson
for the violation of ordinance No. 84 ,
which alludes to fighting and disorder
ly conduct. Mr. Jackson has been out
if town for the past few days , consequently
quently the warrant has not been
served.
The plaintiff In the case Is Daniel
Burr , wfio says Mr. Jackson did him
Injury on the streets of this city Thurs
day morning and wishes him to be
fined according to tne law And ordi
nance.
Trouble started on Wednesday dur
ing the session of court In the trial of
the appeal case , "In the matter of the
estate of Nathaniel Burr , deceased , "
In which Burr Is interested and Mr.
Jackson is employed as an attorney.
It appears that the plaintiff became
Insulting during the progress of the
trial , and cast Insinuations of an un
called for nature toward the attorney.
When an apology was demanded the
next morning , Burr absolutely refused ,
and Mr. Jackson proceeded to admin
ister to the gentleman a couple of "up-
percuts , " which were gracefully taken
by the opponent.
The case no doubt will come up
before Police Judge McAllister some
time today.
DRIDE'8 ROMANTIC CLIMAX TO A
LONG JOURNEY.
TRAVELED FROM IRELAND ALONE
Miss Lizzie Stuart Comes a Quarter of
the Way Around the Globe to Meet
the Man of Her Choice Married a
Few Minutes After Her Arrival.
Miss Lizzie Stuart , married in Nor
folk Friday noon , to Rev. Henry Hind-
march of Inman , came n quarter of
the way around the glebe for her
wedding , crossing the Atlantic and
half a continent.
Miss Stuart , who has lived in Sllgo
in Ireland , came clear from the Emer
ald Isle to keep her plight with the
north Nebraska minister to whom she
was married n few minutes after
reaching Norfolk.
Miss Stuart and Rev. Henry Hind
march were engaged In Ireland , where
the latter , though an Englishman , has
served for several years as a Metho
dist minister. Last January Mr. Hind
march came to America to engage in
ministerial work hero , receiving nn
assignment to Inman at the confer
ence meeting.
Miss Stuart crossed the Atlantic on
the Anchor line , embarking at Lon
dondcrry and landing In New York.
In Omaha she made connections with
Norfolk by way of Emerson , arriving
on the Sioux City passenger nt 11 a.
m. At the Union Pacific depot she
met her husband-to-be who had pre
ceded her to America by some ten
months.
Miss Stuart had only been in Nor
folk a few minutes before she had oeen
through the marriage ceremony that
brought n romantic climax to the long
journey.
It was a quiet wedding at the homo
of Mr. Hlndmarch's presiding elder ,
Rev. Thomas Blthell , who officiated.
Dr. and Mrs. C. W. Ray were present
at the ceremony.
Rev. and Mrs. Hlndmarch spent the
day In Norfolk , leaving for Inmnn on
the evening train.
THE AUTO-OWNER'S MAIL.
Increased Wonderfully Since He In
vested In a Machine.
Every Norfolk auto-owner who
drives a machine Is the object of ten
der solicitude on the part of American
manufacturers. They have Mr. Auto-
Owner on their writing list and they
are trying to keep him in mind.
Norfolk auto men have had a lively
Increase In their mail and some have
wondered at the general boom in the
advertising business. But back of il
all Is the strange fact that every man
who purchases nn automobile Is helpIng -
Ing the state treasury on account of a
peculiar side line of business which
Nebraska has launched.
The last legislature authorized the
secretary of state to prepare a printed
list of Nebraska automobile owners
as shown by the license registration
records in his office.
The secretary carried out the plan
advertising In several periodicals thai
complete printed lists of auto-owners
In Nebraska could be had for so much
per list.
As a result the state has secured
many subscribers and a fat revenue
for the manufacturers of various ar
tides of luxury , apparently figuring
that the man with the auto Is a man
with cash , are taking advantage o
the lists to get next to the people o
the autos.
THE WRONG BARN.
Horsethleves Detected at Farm of John
Zohner by Ingenious Device.
Battle Creek Enterprise : For once
the horsethlef didn't get away will
the trick. One of these thrifty mem
bers of Nebraska society , accompaniei
by a "pal , " attempted to steal ahors
one night last week from the barn o
John Zohner , who lives a few mile
west of Battle Creek. But the ingenu
Ity of the farmer foiled him.
Mr. Zohner has a reputation fo
owning good horses. Ho is proud o
them , and has suffered as much anx
lety because of the recent thefts a
any man In the county. Not deemin ,
it practicable to sit up all night an
watch , ho devised a scheme whereb ;
he could be given warning In case any
one tried to break Into his barn ,
flno wire , artfully concealed , was ru
from the latch of the barn door to th
dinner bell , which Is near the house
On the night In question , when th
thieves thought they were about t
ImVo easy work , there broke upon th
midnight stillness a loud clangln
from the hired man's favorite muslca
Instrument. Mr. Zohner rushed from
the house to see two men beating
hasty retreat from the barnyard. H
was unable to halt them , but had th
satisfaction of knowing that his cherIshed
Ished horses were safe.
THE WORD NEVER CAME.
Aspiring Hunters , Who Waited for th
Duck Flight Disappointed.
Norfolk sportsmen who missed ou
of the fall flight of ducks are consolln
themselves by going after quail. A
a result of the late fall the quail sea
son was legally "open" about the tlm
that the ducks made their fall "go
away. "
This fall was practically without th
usual spectacular "flight" that bring
joy to the hearts of north Nebrask
duck shooters. From some parts o
the river country something like a fal
flight was reported following the re
cent cold snap , but returns from nort
Nebraska brought the message "noth
ing doing" to the hunters.
. A juimhnr ntJfnrfolk men.Jhadjnad
rrangcmcnts to go to the vicinity of
Vood Lake or Newport the moment
ord was received that the ducks
ere headed south , but the word did
ot como.
The general supposition Is that the
old spell came with such n rush that
10 ducks did not hcsltato In their
Ight but made the long journey In
rush that afforded no opportunity
o the north Nebraska hunter.
The duck can cover from sixty to
Ighty miles an hour.

UIT IN WHICH MANY FARMERS
ARE INTERESTED.
DISPUTE OVER HIGHWAY RIGHT
C. Baker of Council Bluffs Brings
Injunction Proceedings One of the
Prominent Cases Defore the Next
Norfolk Term of Federal Court.
Prominent among the cases in the
Norfolk district of the federal court
vhlch arc being prepared for trial Is
ho Boyd county road case , In which
C. Baker of Council Bluffs , la. , has
nado sixteen Boyd county citizens do-
undents In an Injunction action
gainst using any part of his Boyd
ounty farm us a public highway.
The Baker farm consists of 240
icres of land north of Lynch. Baker
lalms that his fences have been cut
ind teams and cattle driven across
Is land. He seeks to have a federal
njunctlon directed against the defend-
outs , among whom ho places Boyd
lounty , to prevent the destruction of
ils fences or the creation of a highway.
In their answer to this suit the Boyd
Bounty citizens have gone into the
cdoral court In Norfolk , contending
hat a public road across the Baker
arm really exists In point of law. This
ilghwny , leading Into Lynch they
ilalm , was legally established while
he Baker farm was still public land ,
t Is contended that Baker liavlng only
owned the land for some eight years
cannot claim the roadway by reason
of adverse possession because pre
sumably adverse possession docs not
run against the government. They
nalntain , in their answer , that when
.he land In question was purchased
rom the government the land was
aken subject to the easmcnt for high-
vay purposes before granted.

PREVENTS RED THIEVES FROM
STEALING HUSBAND'S GRAIN.
INDIAN THREATENS WITH KNIFE
Farmer's Wife Living Near Orient , S
D. , Arms Herself With a Whip and
Disregards Threats of Indian and
Succeeds In Driving Them Away.
Orient , S. D. , Nov. 1C. Mrs. C. G
Matter , who resides on a farm In the
outskirts of Orient , had an Interesting
adventure with an Indian , but with
the pluck of the average woman of the
frontier was able to "bluff him out. '
While the men were away Mrs. Matter
discovered the Indian and members
of his family engaged in picking up
wheat from the ground In the vicinity
of the straw piles where threshers hac
been at work.
The Indians had gathered nearly
sackful of the grain when Mrs. Matter
discovered them. As grain Is wortl
money this year she did not propose
that her husband should bo robbed
Approaching the Indian and the mem
hers of his family she commanded the
Indian to dump the. grain on the
ground.
"You dump , " replied the redskin In
broken English. As he said this ho
drew a huge knife from Its place o
concealment and commenced to whe
the keen blade as If about to attacl
and scalp the farmer's wife.
But Mrs. Matter could not bo bluffed
easily. In her hand she had a heavy
driving whip. Raising the whip in
threatening manner she advanced
upon the Indian warrior and told him
ho had bettor "get" as the threshers
would soon be coming and they would
"fix him. "
The Indian understood what the
white woman said , and rather than
face the threshers he and the mem
bers of his family hurried away.

iONGRESSMAN BOYD HAS DRAFT
ED A NEW MEASURE.
HE LEAVES NOV. 20 FOR THE EAST
ongressman J. F. Boyd Will Start
to Washington to Serve His First
Term One Week From Next Tues
day Has Drafted a New Bill.
Congressman J. F. Boyd of the Third
district of Nebraska will leave a week
from next Tuesday , Nov. 20 , for Wash
ington to begin his first term as repre
sentative In the national legislature.
With him he will take to Washington
a bill that he has already framed pro
viding for a government guarantee to
depositors In national banks , Insuring
all national bank depositors that , no
matter what happens , their deposits
will be safe.
The bill as drafted contemplates
that when a national bank falls the
government shall appoint a receiver
as now and the depositors will imme
diately thereafter , or within ninety
lays , file claims with the treasury de
partment as to the amount of deposit.
This claim , approved by the receiver ,
will be paid in full by the government
so that the depositor In a very short
time will realize 100 percent on his
deposits. The treasury department , to
reimburse Itself for this loss , would
then , under the provisions of the bill ,
levy an assessment against the depos
its of all national banks. Under the
business transacted during the year
preceding September 30 , this levy
upon solvent national banks would
have amounted to one-fortieth of one
percent of deposits.
In this way , each bank would prac
tically be protected by mutual bank
Insurance , with the government hand
ling the matter. Congressman Boyd
thinks such a plan would increase
bank deposits twenty-five percent
Judge Boyd will make his headquar
ters at the Dewey hotel In Washing
ton.

No Surplus Crow Indian Lands.
Sioux Falls , S. D. , Nov. 1C. Recent
ly a movement was Inaugurated for
the early opening to white settlement
of the alleged surplus lands embraced
In the Crow Creek reservation , situat
ed on the Missouri river , In the cen
tral part of the state. From recent
developments , however , It appears that
there will bo no surplus land of a de
sirable character to open to settle
ment. Allotting Agent Diets , who has
charge of the work of allotting lands
to the Indians on the Crow Creek res
ervation , states that It will take him
about eight months to complete the
work. As ho has about 450 Indians
to provide for It is estimated that this
will consume practically all the land
of any value In the reservation.
