NO. 101 A Edward Thimgan of Murdoch is Named Sheriff Conference With Commissioners to Be Held Saturday as to Details of Taking Over Office. ' Edward Thimgan, Murdock busi- - ness man and well known over Cass county, was named late Tuesday afternoon by the board of county commissioners as sheriff of Cass coun- ty, to succeed the late Bert Reed ine commissioners by a vote of 2 to 1 named the new sheriff. The board of commissioners ad journed immediately after the selec tion of Mr. Thimgan. to meet again on Saturday with the newly elected sheriff to confer as to details of the office which the commissioners wish to have understood before the office is turned over to Mr. Thimgan. One of the matters to be taken up will be that of the jail and its man agement, the commissioners desiring to have a deputy reside there and acecpt the work of jailor and feeding the prisoners as a part of the salary of the position. The limiting of costs of investigation of cases is also one of the matters that will be discussed between the board and Mr. Thimgan If the new sheriff is agreeable to the suggestions of the commissioners the office will be then formally ten dered to Mr. Thimgan. At the court house it was understood that should the parties be unable to agree to the details of the management of the office that the board might re-op- en the question, but this is not thought to be likely. Mr. Thimgan is a member of one of the well known families of Elm-wo- od precinct, he having been born and raised in that community and where he has made his home. In re- cent years he has been engaged in business in Murdock and is a gentle- man held in the highest esteem by a large circle of friends over the coun- ty. Mr. Thimgan has not been active in politics, his only venture in the political field being in 1922 when he was a candidate for the office of sheriff against C. D. QuinTon. veteran sheriff, coming within. 200 rotes ofi carrying the election as- - an rnde- -l pendent against Mr. Quinton and G. H. Manners, the democratic can- didate. In his application for the office a large petition was presented the board cf commissioners urging the selection of Mr. Thimgan, as well as a number of friends appearing to urge his cause before the county board. If the conference results in the commissioners alnd Mr. Thimgan agreeing he will at once take over the office. The new sheriff will hold under the appointment until the election in November. RECEIVES FINE POSITION Roland Thomas, of Omaha, son of City Clerk and Mrs. Herman L. Thomas, has received a very fine ad- vancement in his work as accountant and insurance adjuster.

Mr. Thomas has been promot- ed to the position of head claim ad- juster of the Mutual Benefit Health & Accident association.

V. head offices at Omaha, leaving that position to take one with the Mutual Benefit Co.

Mrs. John Wickman and Family.. C. S. Wortman Opens Office w at Ashland Former Ccunty Supt. Returns to 23a tive State To Be Associated With A. L. Tidd Here As the Gazette foretold in Octo ber. C. S. Wortman established his law office in Ashland Jan. 1. in the Farmers & Merchants National Bank building, and is now open to the public. In addition Judge Wortman will be associated wtih Honorable A. L. Tidd, an old time friend, who has been a leading lawyer at Platts mouth for twenty-fiv- e years. In 1907 young attorney Wortman left Cass county to start his legal career in Indian Territory (Ok'a hema). after serving as Cass coun- ty's youngest superintendent of pub lie instruction. Until recent months he has practiced law in the sooth, en gaging in both civil and criminal law, specializing in probate and land title law. At Statehood land titles were complicated because of many Indian treaties. The Indians with former slaves or freed men held title in common. Later tribal lands were allotted per capital, the minors re- ceiving the same acreage as adults, thus resulting in a huge volume of probate work. Each minor as well as adult death meant an estate to be probated. The appointment of guar- dians, administrators, executors, pro- bate sales, the settlement of estate, and drawing of wills, furnished a varied field of litigation for years. Judge Wortman gained experience in all of that character of work, later serving as judge. Prior to holding the judgeship he had served as pro- secutor and also in the Oklahoma legislature. Since Oklahoma prac tically copied her probate code from Nebraska the procedure is almost identical. Yielding to an increasing desire to devote more time out of . doors without giving up his chosen profes- sion. Judge Wortman will reside on his Cass county stock farm four miles southeast of Ashland on the Plattsmouth graveled road. This is the farm upon, which, he was, .horn and which' he and his sister; Mrs. E. W. Richards, have in recent years acquired together. Judge Wortman solicits in busi- ness the consideration of old friends and new. Ashland Gazette.

C. S. WortmanOpens Officew

at Ashland

Former Ccunty Supt. Returns to 23ative State To Be Associated

With A. L. Tidd Here

As the Gazette foretold in October. C. S. Wortman established hislaw office in Ashland Jan. 1. in theFarmers & Merchants National Bankbuilding, and is now open to thepublic. In addition Judge Wortmanwill be associated wtih HonorableA. L. Tidd, an old time friend, whohas been a leading lawyer at Plattsmouth for twenty-fiv- e years.

In 1907 young attorney Wortmanleft Cass county to start his legalcareer in Indian Territory (Ok'ahema). after serving as Cass coun-ty's youngest superintendent of publie instruction. Until recent monthshe has practiced law in the sooth, engaging in both civil and criminallaw, specializing in probate and landtitle law. At Statehood land titleswere complicated because of manyIndian treaties. The Indians withformer slaves or freed men held titlein common. Later tribal lands wereallotted per capital, the minors re-ceiving the same acreage as adults,thus resulting in a huge volume ofprobate work. Each minor as wellas adult death meant an estate to beprobated. The appointment of guar-dians, administrators, executors, pro-bate sales, the settlement of estate,and drawing of wills, furnished avaried field of litigation for years.Judge Wortman gained experience inall of that character of work, laterserving as judge. Prior to holdingthe judgeship he had served as pro-secutor and also in the Oklahomalegislature. Since Oklahoma practically copied her probate code fromNebraska the procedure is almostidentical.

Yielding to an increasing desireto devote more time out of . doorswithout giving up his chosen profes-sion. Judge Wortman will reside onhis Cass county stock farm fourmiles southeast of Ashland on thePlattsmouth graveled road. This isthe farm upon,which, he was, .hornand which' he and his sister; Mrs. E.W. Richards, have in recent yearsacquired together.

Judge Wortman solicits in busi-ness the consideration of old friendsand new. Ashland Gazette.
