Our Land Ollces
Considerable excitement vas created
in our city, last Thursday, upon the
seizure Of the Plats Of the Land Office
10 this city by Deputy Sheriff futile up.
on a writ.Of RePlevln, issued by H. c.
Lett, Mayor and ex.OficiO justice of the
Peace, at the instance of T. w. Bedford
A. Johnson's Register for The Nemahu
Land District.
Tuule seized the Plals while Register
Dorsey was at dinner. No one being in
the office save R. F. Barret, to whom he
told his errand, and upon being requested
TO await the return Of Mr.. Dorsey, re-
fused, and carried eff the Plats to Nc
Comas' Drug Store, where T. w. Bed.
ford and his man Friday,".S. R. Jami-
son, and their cohorts, Immediately set
to ~"aPpraising' the property of Uncle
Sam, and filling up bonds 10 obtain pos
session. While this interesting farce
was being enacted. Capt. ]. L. Carson
and Evan WOrthing, hearing of the acts
Of the Deputy Sheriff, wen to him and
threatened to withdraw their bonds from
Sheriff Glasgow-who is in law bound
by the acts of bis Deputy-if the books
were turned wei as asked for by the
writ. On this, futile, deeming "dis.
erection the better part of v%alOr," con-
Guided to see his superior before going
any farther in the matter, and deposited
The Plats with Theo. Hill for safe keep
ing. Bedford and Jamison protesting
in the loudest terms their willingness to
indemnify futile in any SUN to leave the
Plats with them.
Mr.. Dorsey had already sent for
Sheriff Glasgow and Hon. o. P. Mason.
While waiting for them, the honorable
applicant for Andy's usurped crumbs,
had another writ of Replevin issued and
placed for service in the hands of S. R.
SOmers, our worthy City Fire Warden,
under the impression that he was Deputy
City Marshall, who went to the store of
Theo. Hill s. Co., about z, p. NJ, strong.
ly guarded by a posse Of Democrats to
keep the pescs," and demanded the
Plats of Cash Sloas, who was in at the
tine. To the credit of Mr.. Sloat, be
it gratefully remembered, c~oal-oil would
not ignite, and before the Fire Warden's
writ could be perused, Deputy Sheriff
Bliss, with a writ from the Clerk of the
District Court, entered, took possession,
and tie Plats are now in the hands of
C. G. Dorsey, Register Of The Nemaha
Land District.
Owing the heavy snow, falling Sheriff
Glasgow did not reach town until just
after the final act, but came determined
to reverse the act of his Deputy, futile,
and restore the Plais to the place from
which they had been illegally taken. He
immediately removed futile, and has APP
pointed Messrs. Fa irbrOthSr and Garri'
son his Deputies; which app ointments
give general satisfaction.
Tuttle's action in the matter is con.
demned by all, ave a few of Bedford's
cronies; and the action of Mayor and
ex-OEcio Justice of The Peace H. C..
Leu, is only to be excused on the plea
that he is a Democratic politician Of the
new school POgram style.
''Such a gettin' down stairs" as T. w.
B. has made we never did see. First, he
went to the District Court, al Nebraska
City, for a writ of mandamus to eject
Dorsey, which, becoming satisfied he
could not obtain ; after four weeks spent
in maturing a plan, he suddenly gets a
partizan Justice Of the Peace 10 seize
them with a Wi. of replevin through a
deputy Sheriff, and failing in this, he
gets another writ Of rsplsVin and places
for service in the hands Of our City
Fire iWardal
This affair has greatly lowered "Bed.
ford" stock in this community, even wj,h
