city in this: -Years ago when we lived
ia the city of Columbus and used to
wonder if the merchants would ever
wake ap aad make noise enough to let
their whereabouts be known, it wae the
custom of Judge Hensley, in the good
old summer time, to wander over to the
Loap river after church on 8unday
morning, throw out his fishing book,
baited with a frog's leg, and wait. Pa
tience oa a monument doesn't express
the apparent calm and placid content
ment in the face and figure of the judge
es ho eat on the river bank and listened
to the babble of the waters and look for
the bob of the bobber, and felt
for the ' neck, of the mosquito
that ever and anon inserted hie proboscis
ia the beck of his sunburnt nook. The
leh aught bite or net that was their
baainem it mattered not to Judge Sens
ley. He waa thinking, and the result of
his thought wae made manifest here in
Lincoln last 8atarday when he gave an
exhibitionfore the oOoialsof the Bur
lington railroad, of an emergency, car
coupler, the details of which were work
ed oat ia hk mind at the very time when
enties testified that he had
to think at all- This oounler was
abowa to be a success in every particular.
It ia easy of adjustment and is likely to
into swift demand when its exeel-
nre generally known. That
aa independent fortune for Judge
Ueaeley, and bo man in Nebraska who
kaowa him bat will rejoice to see him
'bringing in the sheaves.' "

The following interesting news con
cerning a Platte county citizen ie taken
from the Lincoln State Journal of Sun
day issue:
Governor Mickey issaed a commuta
tion of sentence Saturday to Nicholas J.
usoueman or natte county, serving
nineteen years for murder in the second
degree. Thesentenoe of Gentleman was
commuted to ten years, the minimum
aentence under the law for murder ia the
aeoond degree, which will set him free in
one year and a half. Gentleman killed
a man named Olsoa, who waa trying to
arrest him. Gentleman was intoxicated
nt the tiam. The twelve jurymen have
asked clemency for the convict Bels
tives of the murdered man protested
against clemency. Thesentenoe of Gen
tlemen began March 1. 1901. He was
thirty-eight years old when he was een
teneed. With good time allowance hia
term would expire April 7, 1914.
Eleven of the jarore aigned the follow
ing statement aad it was presented to
Governor Mickey:
- "The undersigned jurors who est in the
case, State vs, Nicholas J. Gentleman, in
Platte county in February, 1901, res
pectfully make the following representa
tions: For several years before the
homicide Gentleman had been drinking
excessively and the crime was undoubt
edly the result of his long and excessive
use of intoxicants. Before removing
from the farm to .Platte Center he had
always been n sober, industrious, law
abiding man and stood deservedly high
in public esteem. We understand his
conduct in the penitentiary has been
exemplary always and we feel in view of
that fact and the good reputation he bore
before he became addicted to the use of
liquor that a substantial reduction of his
sentence would be altogether justifiable."
The other juror, Frank Morse, under
date of November 20, 1905, addressed the
governor as follows: "As I was one of
the twelve jurymen who found Nick
Gentleman guilty in Platte county. Ne
braska, for which crime he has since
been serving a nineteen-year sentence in
the penitentiary, I would be pleased now
at this time if yon would reduce his
sentence to a commitment of time and
in my estimation he has now served a
term adequate to his harsh act"
