COUNTY
s. Y. OvermaN,
OF Red Cloud, Nebraska,

Elmer Ulysses Overman was born in
Hancock county, Illinois, June 80,
1864, and is Of German. English des.
cent. He is the youngest Of a family
OF nine, the children Of Charles and
Martha j. Overman.
MIR. OvermaH's early days were
passed quietly upon his fathers farm
in Hancock county, where he enjoyed
the advantages offered by the district
schools OF the neighborhood. At the
age OF eighteen, having pursued his
studies ~ far as possible in the district
schools, he desired to enter college.
His father being unable to send him,
Mr.. Overman took the matter in his
own hands, writing to the faculty of
. number Of colleges in the endeavor
TO find an opportunity to carr his way.
Through the kindness Of DR.. Cum.
mings, then president Of Hsdding col.
lege, located At Abingdon, Knox
county, Illinois, young Ovsrman's
hopes in that direction were realized.
He secured work with Rev. Brown, a
Methodist minister, whereby he earned
his board. In addition to this, he
sawed and split wood during the win.
ter, thus earning sufficient to purchase
books and clothing. At the end of the
year the members Of the college fac.
ulty were so impressed with young
Overman, and interested in his behalf
that they secured for him the position
OF janitor OF the college, thus enabling
him to remain at college.
Most yeung wen who have not mean
to attend college, either secure aid
from some relative or borrow the
money, take it easy, and risk paying it
back in after life. Not so with young
Ovsrmsn; after obtaining his position
of janitor, in the second year of his
college life, he could have been found
before the opening OF school s~crubbing
and preparing the college buildings.
After the opening Of college, we ind

ably.
In this manner he secured his gen.
eral education. After leaving college,
he entered the law Office of Sharp &
Berry Bros, of Carthage, Illinois He
was still a poor boy without means.
This firm OF attorneys gave him work
in their office, to assist him, lie con.
tinued in this employment, doing Office
work during the day aud reading law

The Red Cloud chief., 1900-10-19

end Of which time he passed q highly
creditable examination before the SIT.
preme court OF Illinois, and was ad.
mitted to the bar.
Young Overman thereupon hung out
his single at Oquawka, Illinois, where
he soon surrounded himself with a
good business, and at the end Of a year
had a fairly good practice. About this
time there occurred a vacancy in the
office OF states attorney, Of his county
and when the republican convention
met, Mr.. Overman was given the nom.
inalion by reclamation and was elected
without opposition, the democratic
party placing no candidate against
him. His first case as public prosecu.
tor was that of two men charged with
murder. In this he secured a convic.
ton, the men were sentenced to the
psnitentiary for thirty years each, ald
are still serving time in the Illinois
peniten:isry.
At the end OF this term, Mr.. Over.
man was again nominated by the re.
publicsns by acclamatisn, for . full
term of four years, and was elected by
a handsome majority. During this
term he successfully prosecuted many
cases Of Importance, and ut tho end Of
the term refused to again stand as a
candidate.
Desiring to 60 to q larger field for
the practice Of his profession, he re.
moved from OquAwka, to the city OF
Waukegan, Illinois, where he remained
about six months, being called home
by the sickness OF his father and
mother, who were now becoming quite
old. lie remained with themxgiving
up his business for that purpose, for
more than a year. During this time
his father died, and under the advice
of physicians it was decided to remove
his mother to Nebraska for her health,
and it was this circumstance which
brought Mr.. Overmau to Red Cloud
and Webster county. He, with his
mother and family, came to Red Cloud
in the spring Of 1873, After his ARR.
Val he opened a law ofiss in Red Cloud
and almost from the first his business
in that line has been one of the best in
the couaty.
At the time Mr.. Overman removed
from Oquswka to Wsukegsn, Illinois.
the local papers, democratic and re-
publican, said the following in refer.

We cannot, even if we would. cvade

thousands have been-and that the
mobbinE and scourging of Mormon
missionaries who were citizens of the
United states must stop? There would
be but one answer, and that would be

people, as Il mass. believe. and are

BY the terms OF the contract made
between these two syndicates each
agreed to offer to the other "a partici-
patton of one-half of it's own interest
in any business hereafter obtained by
IL In the Empire of China" The mo-
tive of the parties to the compact as
set forth in the "whereaSeS" was to
secure the united action of their re-
spectivc governments" and each side
pledged itself to use their best en-
beavers TO obtain the support of the
government of their respective coun-
tries 10 the common undertaking." 1t
was further set forth that 1t was the
intention Of the contract that "the
parties shall act in alliance and to-
gether in all undertakings obtained or
prosecuted by eithcy or both in the
Empire of China, whether both parties
shall participate In the business or
not" This. so FAR as known. is the
only tangible form the Angio-Amcri
can alliance has yet assumed.
That American citizens should look
to their government for protection of
