Sterling Morton each snoke thirty minutes, Music was furnished by the Fremont band. Judge Crounse said: Ll D. Crounse's Speech. “Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Old Settters Association of Dodge County: Iam indebted to the ofcers of this association for tho pleasure they have given me of meeting Lhe old sottlers hero and also taking something of an account ot the growth of this county. My absence from: your city for some years brought to my uttention the astonishing growth of the city since Llast vicited 1t, and today as 1 meet vour familiar faces and confront many new ones I am reminded of a littlo ex- perienco ha some vears since in Germany. While in one of the towus | stopped at a guesthovse kept by an old lady. An American was quite a novelty there, After my frugal meal, which consisted chiefly of beer, for they drink very littio water there, tha old lady m: to me and smifed and accosted me as boing from America. We cultivated a sort ot ac quaintance. After a little whilo [ saw that she had something on ber wind and bad look of expectation. Finally she said: *“Have you seen my sonf” . “1, of course, knew what that meant. 1 embled in exercises were began to inquire innozently as to his age, height, color of his hair und how I could recognize him. I said first that 1 might have seeu him, but au last 1 camo to the pownt and asked fo what place he lived. She said: ‘Ho lives in a place called "exas,! Of course I hadn’t, but to break it vasy 1 confessed that whilo I hadu't scen him on my return, 1 would try to hunt him up and tell bim bow nicely 1 haa been enter- tained by bis mother, and what a 200d time 1 had, aud give him hor message of love. “80 1 felt something liko that when I reached here. My firstuojuaintance with Dodge county was some twenty-five years smce, 1 camn nere in the capacity of o young judge, not much in expsrience and nou much in law, perhaps. Asl saw your large and beautiful cour! house, I thought of the first court I held in Docgo county. It was short ana there wasn’t much of it, and it was held in a ehurch or school house, and imay have been a joinder of both, as some one suggests, Istudied upa great address and spoke of one particular fact to which I thought their attention should be called. Thelr Sole Occupation. “I afterwards #arned that their sole busi- ness wis 1o 1uquire into a case of a new way of extracting payment for old debts. It seemed that a mau io the couity had been very Industrious in_accumuiatiug debts and ho wasn't very promot in his payments. The creditors asembied, caught the debtor, ad- usted & rope arouud his neek, put it over a imb of a tree and pulied him up and let him down several times to see if he would not ‘le' down’ the amount due and finally they extorted tho payments. The man left the county. The county autorney possessed himself of the facts and made the case quite clear. Tho grand jury members were in- structed to their duty and wrote out their bill. They deliberated somewhat and he was a littie at a loss to know wny they were not more prompt in signing the verdict. . Finally the foreman arose and said: Look nere, my friend, suppose over half of these jurymen were in that mob#" *‘Court adjourned ana we went away. I returned here about a year after and a court- nouse had been built in my districr, and 1 think Dodge county can give herself tho credit of having the first courthouse in the distriet, and I held my court there. Amoug the gentlemen who appeared before the bar was our old, well known friend Shedd. He had au oye to business right off, and con- aucted his share of the busiuess ‘quite suc- cessfully during the afterncon. We ad- jouryed at an early hour, and I took & stroll #rouna the streets, and who should I see but this Shedd on a dry goods box selling calico and crying, ‘Going, going, gone.’ Well, be- fore court adjourned Shedd came around wia gaid: ‘We will have a party iu the couTyroom this evening nnd would hke to bave you there. Lawyer Shedd Was There. +#501 went, and who shoula I see but this same Shedd, playing on the violin, and call- ing off, *All’dance pretty.’ Later my friend Shedd, while returning vatu me from a term of court in Columbus, hauled out a roll of bills and said, ‘There judge is $06 1 picked up in alittle game of draw poker last even- ing.' 1could recite many remeniscenses of my experiences here, “I remember when a kind of petit larceny epidemio broke out bore, there being three cuses, These three youug men looked as though they wanted to break into jail rather thav oat of it. I was aisgusted and pro- cecded to read them a sort of lecture.

WHAT THE EXPERT FOUND, Intoresting Testimony in the Fist Trial at Hastings. Hasrinas, Neb., Sept. 10.—(Special to Tug Bee.]—When the case of the state agsinst E. Fist for aiding in the embezzlement of county funds was resumed in the district court this morning Expert J. R. Ratcliffe was put upon the stand again und stated that the total shortage was §34,009.85, and was then turned over to tho defense for cross-examination. The defense put the wit- ness tnrough & severe cross-exami- uation auna endeavored to prove er- rors in the expert’s report. The examinu- tion was somewhat wearisome and was S0 prolitic fn figures ana bookkeeping and technical terms, that it could interest only an expert. The defense monaged to find some small laws, such as errors in entering. Supervisor 1. H. Ballard, a member of the settlement committee of the board, was next called, and described how the treas- urer's books were checked by tho committee. Mr. Fist had principal charge of the book: all of the semi-annual reports being in his handwriting. The committee in making its last examinution, in January, 1802, found that there was a shartage of §21,770.25, which amount was made good by the bondsmen. Next wus discovered the shortage in the “Cherry 1tems,” amounting to £31,000, which was voluntarily disclosed to the board. The members of the committee made an examin- ation of the books in reference to the Cherry items, but as they could not fiud them on the books @an expert was employed. John M. Kkagea, one of the bonasmen, was next called. He detailed the three couver- sations between Paul, F A. L. Clark and bimself, in which the bondsmen first learned of the sbortage in the Cherry items. Paul disclaimed any knowledge of the irregularity in these, A. L. Clark, president of the First National bank, suostantiated Mr. Lagen's testimony. At the time of the failure of the City National bank, Mr. Clark made & supel examination of the books and discovered that & shortage of $20,000 existed ana certain notes and other securities were turned over to the bondsmen, who reduced the deficit at this time to $9,000, In the afternoon Mr. Paul himself was recalled by the state und narrated the maoner in which he first learned of the shortage in the Cherry iwms by Fist volunteering tue iuformation about the 15th of December last. tie was cross- exawiued by Mr. Hartigan and admitted that be bad endorsed the Cherry check ana that’| the money had been deposited to his creait in the bank, but persisted in his statement that be bad always supposed that Fist had put the items on'the books. Here, after a few moments consultation, the state rested its case. Mr. Hartington, on bebalf of the defense, asked for time to gather its wit- nesses together. The jury banded in a peti- tion by ull requesting that the members be allowed 10 go to their homes over Sunday. As no objoction was made aftor being called by tho court, the jury was sllowed 10 separ- ate unul 1 ock Monday. Rosult of Two Aceldents.
