From THE LEIGH (NE.) WORLD, January 18, 1935-
The jury in the civil action in which Mrs. Mary E. Barrett and daughter, as owners of a farm in Colfax County, sought judgment against a group of eight Platte County farmers for $225 for a quantity of corn removed from their farm on February 21, 1933 on behalf of a dispossessed tenant, returned a verdict in district court at 10:45 p.m., yesterday finding in favor of the plaintiffs in the sum of $100 and interest.
The verdict ran against all eight of the defendants, John H. Moeller, the dispossessed tenant; Henry E. Moeller, his father; Adolph Henke, his brother-in-law, Otto Wenk, George Michaelson, Henry Deyke, Henry Wurdeman and Fred Schwank. During the course of the hearing only John Moeller and Mr. Henke had admitted that they had actually participated in the removal of the corn from the farm, though the others had admitted being among the 100 or more farmers who gathered about the place at that time.
Plaintiff's and defendants' contentions as to how much corn was actually removed differed, the former placing the amount at 1,500 bushels or more, and the later at not to exceed 1,100 bushels.
In entering judgment after receiving the jury's verdict, Judge Lightner figures the interest at $11.40. The verdict automatically charges the costs, amounting to approximately $82, to the defendants. The case had been appealed by the plaintiffs to district court from county court where a jury had held in favor of the defendants.

From THE PAST AND THE PRESENT, PLATTE COUNTY, NEBRASKA, Volume II-
George Michaelsen, a progressive and efficient farmer of Sherman township, was born in Shell Creek township, Colfax county, Nebraska, on the 28th of July, 1878. His parents, Ludwig and Catherina (Hollman) Michaelsen, were both natives of Germany. The father was born in Oldenburg in 1851 and many years ago emigrated to America, now living at Odessa Station, Washington.
The subject of this review received his education in the district schools and during the period of his boyhood and youth also devoted considerable time to assisting his father with the work of the homestead. He thus gained valuable knowledge which enabled him to succeed when he rented a farm at the age of eighteen years. After cultivating rented land for a few years he purchased one hundred and sixty acres on section 18, Sherman township, Platte county, which he has since cultivated, and he also operates a farm of one hundred and sixty acres belonging to his wife. He uses the most improved machinery to facilitate his work, and the sale of his grain and stock returns to him a good income.
Mr. Michaelsen was married on the 19th of February, 1901, to Miss Anna Hembd, and their children are Julius Ludwig, Emma Louisa, Elsa Alvina, Walter George and Melvin Milton. Mr. Michaelsen is a staunch democrat and is now ably serving as township treasurer. He holds membership in St. John's Evangelical Lutheran church, to the support of which he contributes, and his influence is always on the side of right and justice.
