HARRY WILSON, PLATTS
MOUTH BOY, IN TRAIN
ING AT PUGET SOUND
Letters received in this city from
Harry Wilson, one of the Plattsmouth
recruits in the navy, state that he is
now at the receiving ship at the navy
yard in Puget Sound, Bremerton,
Wash., and is being trained for his
future duties in this line of the serv
ice of Uncle Sam on the sea. Harry
was at the training station at Great
Lakes, Ilk, for a short time, and was
sent to the west to take up his train
ing, although he had been expecting to
be sent with the other Flattsmouth
boys to the Norfolk navy yards. He
has not yet been assigned to service
on any of the fleet ships. The friends
here will be pleased to learn that he is
well satisfied with his choice and en
joying the prospect of having a part
in the great war.
9D QUESTION
UNIVERSALLY
The Commercial Club Devising Ways
and 3lear.s in Which They Can
Help the Farmers.
The business men and ihe Commer
cial dug of this city are awakening
to the necessities of the hour and the
warnings of the government clkcials
that there must be an effort made by
every citizen, rich and poor, your.g
and old, to aid the country ir. the
present crisis to bring a la.-ting
peace to the country. The minnals
of the Commercial club are tubing u:;
with the business men the adoption '
of the plan of assisting the farmers,
ul the community in their work as
much as possible during the coming
season and their efforts are finding
a ready response among the business
men and the clerks. It has been
agreed upon by many that they, as
well as their clerks, will, if needed,
spend three days of the week in the
country working on the farms, ar.cl
a-.-d-ting in every way possible the
increasing of the p redact ive ness of
the county in order that an adequate
erep can be assured to back up the
boys of the army and navy and our
allies on the other side of the water
in the battle for a v.oild democracy.
This is showing the proper spirit and
indicates that the men of the city are
willing to lend every possible effort
t their co-operators on the farm in
increasing the resources of the United
States. Each of the business houses
of the city will contribute a part of
their employes each week as needed
on the farms in this locality and
those who are desirous of securing
farm help should get in touch with
W. A. Eobertson, president of the
Commercial club in this city, as the
h.lp is needed.
Another very needed step is to have
every vacant lot or plot of ground in
the limits of the city put under culti
vation with something that will aid in
the feeding of. the nation and of the
other countries that are having a part
in the common struggle. If the own
ers of lots that can be used for cul
tivation do not desire to use them,
they should be put at the disposal of
all th-.se who can handle them and
make some return to assist in the
nation's welfare. The boys and girls
of the city can do a great deal in
helping out in the creation of the
r.ei.ihhorhood gardens and in raising
many things that are to be needed in
the months to come. Let everybody
get busy and do their part in the com
ing months, be it big or little.

SON OF THE GOODS
Two Brothers and Step-Father Ar
rested, and Are Now Languish
ing in the County IJastile.
John Rutherford, jr., a young man
residing north of this city on the
Platte bottom, had a very exciting ex
perience Saturday night at the hands
of three amateur "tickup" men, who
held him prisoner for several hours
after he had detected them in the act
of stealing a quantity of feed from
the sheds of A. S. Will & Son, near
the Missouri Pacific tracks north of
the city. Mr. Rutherford was re
turning home and when passing near
the sheds noticed hat there was
something unusual going on at that
time of the evening, and started to in
vestigate the matter, with the result
that he discovered that there were
three men busily engaged in removing
some corn and other feed from the
shed and appropriating it to their
own use. As soon as young Ruther
ford was discovered on the scene the
three robbers at once proceeded to
capture him, and kept him prisoner
for almost an hour at the point of a
gun, marching him along the- Platte
bottom road for quite a distance be
fore allowing him to go on his way,
and before he could reach his home to
make an alarm the men had made
their getaway and were far from the
scene of the robbery. The three men
did rot, however, attempt to remove
anything from the person of Ruther
ford and were evidently only intent
on securing the feed from the sheds.
On reaching home Rutherford tele
phoned to this city and notified Chief
Barclay, wlia nitiiied Sheriff Quintcn
and they, with the members of the
night police force p-o;ee led to go out
and search for the robocr.-. A de
scription of the men given by Ruther
ford enabled the police and the -he riff
to .get a clue of the par tie? and alter
a short search a voting man named
Witl-truck. ; sidin-r in the
-r.t!
part
of the city, was pku od un 'er arrest
ami brought- V:v.k to the c'ty a.r.d
lodged in the county jail by Sheriff
Quinton to await examination as to
his part in the. transaction.
The men taking the corn urd feed
alter releasing v.ni'y; iimiv-ton!
proceeded to drive the team and ihe
load of feed into a r.eighb n ir.g farm
vard. where it was found b.tcr Iv
Sherhf Quinton and Mr. V.'iil, the
tracks of the wagui being plainly
visible in the soft mud of the road.
Edgar Witt-truck, the young man
who had made the gun play n liuih-
er.oiu, was urouunt; in at ace ;..-i:
placed in jail, while the .-heriff y.ro
ceedd to look after the other parties
involved in the stealing of the Ikoo.
The authorities on visiting the hones
of the suspects found a pitchfork that
had b i n missing for some time
from the Will ranch, and. after close
questioning of a younger member of
the family, who had ace'!Vpnnicv' the
party on their feed procuring tiip.
learned the particulars of the matter
that involved both Edgar Witt -tuck
and Albert Caster, step. father of the
young man, who was brought in and
placed in custody.
This morning County Attorney A.
G. Cole filed a complaint against both.
Edgar Wittstruck anil Albert Caster,
charging them with breaking into the
shed of Mr. Will and stealing there
from feed of the value of The
men were arraigned before Justice M.
Archer.
The mill of justice moved with rap
idity in the case of the two men, as
they entered a plea of guilty before
Judg M. Archer and were bound over
to the district court and in a short
time were brought before Judge Beg
ley, where they waived a hearing and
entered a plea of guilty. The court
passed sentence upon them and Ed
gar Wittstruck received a .sentence
of from one to ten years in the peni
tentiary at Lancaster, while Albert
Caster was fined $o00 and costs,
which he paid, and was released from
the custody of the sheriff.
MATT" GERING'S THRILL.
' At the organization of the Patriotic
League in Nebraska Matthew Cering,
the eloquent orator of Plattsmouth,
known in the days "when knighthood
was in flower" as the "Black Eagle,"
delivered a rousing speech. "I was
born in Germany, but, by God, I am
every inch American!" said Mr. Cer
ing; and he said it with the deepest
reverence. He said it, too, in a way
that sent a thrill through every hearer.
