Saturday evening Sheriff Byrnes
arrested Frank Koch at his former home
some six miles north of this city. In
1897 Kdch was convicted of attempted
criminal assault, and was sentenced to
six years in the penitentiary at hard
labor. About three weeks ago he es
caped from his guards at the peniten
tiary. We notice in an opinion by Judge
Sullivan of the supreme court: "A real
estate agent who has been instrumental
in producing a purchaser for land listed
with him for sale, is entitled to his con
tract commission even though the owner
of the property commuminate the sale
in ignorance of the services rendered by
the agent"
One little girl in this city, (says the
Nebraska City News) who had two lota
planted in strawberries, is said to have
cleared nearly a hundred dollars on the
same and is still selling them daily.
This does well for a boy or girl and any
one could do as well, if they would only
take the trouble to put out a patch and
properly tend the same.
The gentle passion still works havoc
occasionally among those who do not

Ill health and despondency over a love
affair are given as the cause of the rash
deed. The girl still lives.
Ab Lash, who was for many years

The David 'City News is authority
for aaying that business men there are

will in retaliation ignore the interests of

best stock any one can raise in Nebras
ka. He seems to be making a success of
it and is going to increase his flock. It
is a pleasure to meet a man who likes
his business and is doing well at it.

The A. O. U. W. order is among the

had lost pretty much all they had in a

The Omaha Bee has started out on
its course of illustrating, selecting a
special addition for Sunday. Like
everything the Bee starts out to ac
complish, its aims are high, and its
purposes commendable. Admiral
Schley's portrait graced the first num
ber, and last Sunday's, the second num
ber, bears the familiar features of Geo.
L. Miller, the former well known editor
of the Omaha Herald. The illustrated
Sunday edition is to be a special feature

On' Wednesday of this week in
Charles Wooster's strawberry field, a
singular phenomenon was observed. It
was doing a light thunder storm late in
the afternoon. The atmosphere seemed
to be charged with electricity, and all
at once it was noticed that the hair on
the head of every girl, woman and child
(no men or boys are allowed in that
patch) was standing on end, or vainly
trying to do so, if coiled or otherwise
confined. Silver Creek Times.
Ever since R B. Sutton told ns the
snake story current at Silver Creek, we
have been looking to see further devel
opments. A son of Fred. Bucheliz, so
the story goes in the Silver Creek Times,
while plowing corn, saw a huge snake
about twenty feet long and as large
around as a telephone pole. The snake
started after him, when he mounted one
of the horses and rode for his life. The
Fullerton Post, referring to the story,
endeavors to account for it, by saying
that at the last election Silver Creek
went dry.
The following dispatch from Genoa
of June 22 to the Friday Omaha Bee is
of interest to Columbus people. Mr.
Parker was a former resident here and
is a brother of Mrs. Judge Sullivan of
this city: "Two of Genoa's leading so
ciety people were united in marriage at
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the
Congregational church by Rev. Mr.
Hinman Miss Gertrude Morton and Al
bert G. Parker. Miss Morton has been
one of the most successful teachers in
the city schools and Mr. Parker is in the
employ of the Union Pacific railroad
oompany. Immediately after the cere
mony a reception was given the young
couple at the home of the groom's pa
rents. Mr. and Mrs. Parker loft in the
evening for Salt Lake City, where they
will spend their honeymoon."
Tuesday afternoon of last week,
Prof. E. E. Blackman of Roca, lectured
before the Teachers' institute upon the
"Coronado Legends," a subject that he
has paid considerable attention to for
several years past He believes that the
site of the ancient city Quivera was
where Columbus now is; that it con
tained many four -story houses and
thousands of people, and was probably a
dozen miles in length; that they were
advanced in agriculture, and in certain
lines of manufacturing. He expected to
find here some remains of ancient pot
tery, but did not North of Fullerton,
however, he was very much gratified by
finding a scope of country six miles in
extent which had been devoted to that
industry, aa pieces of the Astec pottery
picked up indicate. Mr. Blackman ia
engaged in a serial publication upon
the subject, putting his thoughts in
verse, expecting to publish in illustrated
book form when his studies are competed.

Death of Mn. J. P. Abta.
Thursday morning, June 22, at 10:35,
after an illness of ten weeks, Mrs. J. P.
Abts departed this life.
Elizabeth Gruenhack was born August
3, 1837, near Cologne, province of the
Rhine, Germany; she was married to J.
P. Abts June 29, 1857, and in a few days
after the wedding, started for America,
settling in Grant county, Wisconsin,
whence they moved to Cedar county,
Nebraska, in 18C9. From there they
went to Stanton county, residing two
years, coming to Platte county in 1877,
and have resided here ever since. She
was ailing for ten weeks, suffering a
great deal. We understand that there
was fear on the part of the physicians
that she had not the physical strength
to endure the surgical operation which
seemed absolutely necessary to be made,
as a chance for recovery.
She leaves her sorrowing husband and
eight children, bereaved of a faithful
wife and loving mother, three of her
children having preceded her to the
Summer Land. The surviving children
are: Mrs. Maggie Stoltze, Sioux City;
Mrs. Oilia Patsch, H. W. Abts, M. Abts,
Chris. Abts, Arnold Abts, Mrs. Frank
Stupfel and John Abts, the last men
tioned, the youngest, being twenty-one
years of age. There are twenty-two
grand children.
The funeral services were conducted
at the Catholic church Monday,

laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery

A recent letter from E. P. McCormick
tells m that L N. Taylor died June 3d,
in Phoenix, Arizona, to which place he
moved from Nebraska in 1886. His
chief ailment waa heart diaease, which
waa complicated with other troubles
during the last four years. He leaves a
double family: The widow, Samuel,
Chas. K, cashier of a bank, Edward K,
in California, Frank B., on the family
ranch, and Stella, Mrs. a a Montgom
mery; Dora died some ten years ago.
Mr.Taylor will be remembered by many
Jouknaii readers as a man of mark here
in his time. Ha came to the city highly
recommended aa a scholar and a man of
intelligence. He waa a partner of L.
Gerrard from 1868 to 1870, attending to
the. land part of their extensive business.
Afterwards he waa a partner here of S.
C. Smith; then removed to Oakdale and
afterwards to Arizona.
Mr. Taylor was born in Ross county,
Ohio, in September, 1817, waa a cousin
of Governor Wise and a relative of
Zachary Taylor. He graduated at
Athens, Ohio, and waa ordained to
preach by the Presbyterians. He was a
co-laborer with Henry Ward Becher in
Indiana. He was associated in anti
slavery work with John A. Logan, Gov.
Yates, Richard Ogleaby and Gen. Lew
Wallace.
Mr. Leander Gerrard has the kindliest
recollections of his intercourse with Mr.
Taylor, who waa always affable, agree
able, considerate of others and withal
very attentive to business, and very
well informed. Notwithstanding that
his business of surveyor and locating
land for settlers required him to travel
all kinds of weather under all kinds of
circumstances, Mr. Gerrard does not
remember of his ever being sick or ail
ing. Hia mental strength waa aa re
markable as his physical, and many who
read these lines can testify to the
smoothness, the polish and the finish of
his sentences. While here he acted aa
clerk of the district court, as county
surveyor, aa superintendent of schools,
as county judge, and we believe was
elected a member of the territorial legis
lature, but not called upon to serve, aa
the state waa meantime admitted into
the union. We remember that be was
secretary of the state board of immi
gration, during a very important era in
the state's settlement
Mr. Taylor, in the Centennial year,
prepared a very readable but unpreten
tious history of Platte county, a few
copies of which may still be found here
and there, illustrative of the earlier days.
We learn from the Monroe Looking
Glasa that Mr. Taylor left his family in
comfortable circumstances, and that his
mind waa clear up to hia last hours, and
apparently had lost none of its vigor.
Thursday evening the teachers of
the county Institute were all invited by
Sup't Leavy to bring their friends to
the high school, where they were given
a reception. Mr. Leavy had prepared a
treat in the way of lectures from Prof.
Parsons and Prof. Bigelow, as well as
treating to great quantities of ice cream
and cake, after the lectures. Prof. Par
sons, the writing and drawing teacher
waa first called on to give a crayon talk.
Mr. Parsons is a real genius in his art
He keeps up a constant talk one could
hardly call it a lecture the conversation
is so directly addressed to each and so
free from affectation. He ia so droll
and tells so many witty, instructive
stories at the same time making hia
drawings, that he keepa his audience in
a constant uproar. Prof. Bigelow fol
lowed the chalk talk by a talk on the
value of good reading for children in the
home. He emphasized the fact that
growing children should be encouraged
in every way to read more good books.
Mr. Bigelow seems to have made this
subject a study and evidently speaks
from experience. He has introduced
drawing and painting in his schools, the
children studying from nature, and have
produced some fine results. Friday, the
teachers of the institute presented Prof.
Leavy with a handsome leather-upholstered
chair that will be prized for the
esteem his teachers feel for him.
