Apr 19, 1897	Car Burner Tried: Sentenced to 30 days in Jail by Judge Hoge, this was probably not his first offense. Union Pacific suffers much loss from such criminal’s Acts. L.M Willis, who was brought back from Gibbon Saturday by Constable Julian, charged with car burning, had a trial Monday morning in Judge Hoge’s justice court and was found guilty and sentenced to spend 30 days in the county jail. The evidence of Agent Harte, of Gibbon, told the way he was caught in the act. When No. 3 came through Gibbon Friday evening the conductor informed the agent that a boxcar down in the yards was on fire. The agent took William Vogt, and went down. They found a fire in the middle of the car floor, and the tramp, Willis, apparently asleep. They called him, and he came to the door, and asked them what they wanted. Mr. Harte told him to come out, without making any false motions, which he did. Then the fire was put out, and the prisoner turned over to the village constable. The car was not damaged much, but the harm comes from the removal of the waste from the oil boxes on the journals. With the oil and the waste out, a car coupled into a train and run a few miles, will burn a journal off and is liable to cause a wreck. In the trial Attorneys Marston and Marston prosecuted and E. Frank Brown appeared for the defense. Witnesses sworn to the prosecution were Agent Harte, of Gibbon. Williams Vogt, of Gibbon and Constable Julian. The evidence was sufficient for Judge Hoge to find him guilty. The Union Pacific has been a serious loser the past year on account of car burners and tramps who remove the waste from the journal boxes to build fires. Two cars have been ruined at Gibbon, one at Stephenson, two or three at Cheyenne, and one near Cozad burned a journal off and might have caused a wreck on account of an unknown person removing waste from the boxes. It was for a similar crime that William Clancy was recently arrested at Gibbon, brought before Judge Hoge, who in that case the commissioner of the federal court, and bound over to the May term of the federal court, at Omaha. Clancy's excuse was that he drank and did not know what he was doing. From a remark dropped by Willis to Agent Harte, it is surmised that this was not the first fire he built in a car. He said he would have guessed he must have left the wrong door open this time. Willis claims east Tennesee for his home, where he was endeavoring to reach. He says he’s been a soldier, as was discharged some time ago. He had beat his way this far east from Salt Lake.

Some time ago John Vogt, of Elmcreek, sold a piece of land located near Odessa to Albert Bostrom on contract, agreeing to pay a certain sum and the original owner to carry a first mortgage of $5, 000 for the balance. Shortly thereafter, Bostrom, it is alleged, borrowed the sum of $3, 000 from Benjamin J Hallberg of Axtell, giving him a first mortgage on the same piece of land. With two first mortgages in existence a tangle presented itself that the courts were called upon to unravel. It was brought out at the hearing that Hallberg, on making the loan, had acted through his agent. Bostrom contends that he never talked first mortgage in making his cash loan, thinking that the first mortgage naturally went to Vogt, former owner. The court ruled that Vogt was entitled to first mortgage protection due to the fact that the titles of the land was originally invested by him.
