I18.—(Special)— County Clerk E. A. Miller and Commis- sloner Charles Krassman had a rather tough plece of home missionary work to perform Monday afternoon that will per- haps be remembered by them. An old hermit by the name of Larson has lived along the banks of the Platte river for years and has won his livithood by a little truck gardening in the summer and odd jobs in the winter. Last season he moved onto an island in the Platte river and bullt himself a hut. He has| never been bad enough off to apply for alms at the court house, but had done a | tew odd jobs there. Miller and Krassman had missed him of late and during the storm Monday the two wondered in what condition he was in and why he had not made his appearance. They took a horse and buggy and drov to the river and succeedad in locating the island and after a few hours in the storm they found the hut. The old man was all alone and sick In bed. It seems he had | nelther food nor shelter, the snow was | plled high on his bed, where it had drifted | in through the poor covering on the hut, and, further, he had no way whatever of | getting word to and from the outside world. The two “‘misslonaries” had brought some food with them and the old man accepted It with mo little reluetance and it took several minutes" talk to get him to agree to be taken to thé ¢ounty poor farm, this being the first charity he has ever allowed shown him. ¥ Citizens Subscribe Funds.

SENDS CONNELL AS AN ENVOY | City - Attorney Burnam Also Tells Court His Deputy is Now in to Apologize and Get Right.. ) LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 18.~(8pecial Tele- gram)—1. J. Dunn is sorry now. He wants to be reinstated as a practicing lawyer In Nebraska and he has sent word to (he supreme court that he fs ready and willing and anxious to apologige. In his behalf W. J. Connell this morning filed a motion in the court asking that Mr. Dunn be permitted to apologize and [be reinstated. In support ‘of his motion Mr. Comnmell presented to each of the judges a copy of a brief which he had prepared for his own use when he thought Judge Sutton was going to disbar him Instead Judge Sutton, he sald, had looked up the law and found It wes beyond his Jurisdiction to do this, and he was simply fined, 8o the briefs were never used. Con- nell told the court he usually kept a bunch of this literature on hand for emergencies. The Connell brief argues that contempt proceedings and disbarment proceedings are entirely separate and distinct. The power of a court to punish for contempt committed in fts presence is summary and inherent. The power to disbar an attorney from practice is special and limited and cannot be exercised except upon notice and a hearing. The right of the court, he sald, was limited to punishment by fine or imprisonment In such cases. City At- torney Harry E. Burnam appeared with Mr. Connell and informed the court that | Dunn was sorry it all happened and was |in the spirit to apologize and get right with the judges. That the procedure taken by Dunn did not make a hit with the court was pain- fully apparent when Connell had finished his plea. The motion asked the court to vacate the order disbarring Dunn and then after the order was annulled permit Dunn to appear and apologize. Chief Justice Reese asked Connell if it was necessary to file a written motion | and broadly intimated that in”the opinion of the court the proper way would have been for Mr. Dunn to appear before the court and apologize and then ask for the annulling of the order.

XINGTON, Neb, Nov. 18.—(Special Telegram.)—Judge Hostetler of the district court today gave a decision in favor of the school house bond proposition, in which a temporary restraining order had heretofore been granted by the court upon the application of Ira W.
