In the first half the visitors gave
the locals a hard fight and the peri
od ended with the score 14 to 10 in
favor of Nebraska City. Piattsmouth
opened the scoring from the "jump
off" and before the Nebraska City
athletes realized it a field goal had
been made by the visitors. This was
immediately followed by two field
goals by Casebeer and Albers. The re
mainder pf the period was very fast
with each team scoring eight points
each. Albers of Nebraska City was
loudly applauded when he threw a
basket from a position at the side of
the goal, one of the most difficult
plays of the season.
In the second period the visitors
repeated their play of the start of
the game and scored a basket from
the "tap off" but were unable to
make another point during the re
mainder of the half. Nebraska City
in the first half solved the style of
play of the visitors and by clever
work prevented them from scoring
the remainder of the half. Nebraska
City made eleven points this session.
Piattsmouth put up one of the
fastest games seen on the local floor
this season and despite the difference
in the score it was a hard fought
victory. ......

Piattsmouth accompanied their team

years standing with Mr. Hollmoyer,
who came originally from Aurora,
Indiana, and met the lady who later
became his wife while living in Chi
cago, residing near the home of the
present Mrs. Hollmeyer and at that
time the wife states he was a genial
and most companionable gentleman
and attracted many friends and it
was from Chicago that he entered the
army. 'The lives of the two crossed
again in the last year when Mr. Holl
meyer, who had been an employe of
the Burlington store -department here
suddenly left here about the first of
August and located at Springfield,
Missouri, where he was employed as
a deputy U. S. marshal during the
later days of the railroad strike and
was there until Christmas. Friends
here understood, however, he was a
railway mail clerk running between
Kansas City and Springfield. It was
while in Springfield that he gQt in
touch with the lady of his former ac
quaintance. .
The couple were married in Den
ver, on January 10th, Mrs. Holl
meyer states and returned to Kansas
City, where 'they lived for the brief
span of their married life and it was
there that the. wife noticed the ap
parent Irresponsibility of the husband
and his prodigal manner.
The wife states that on one occa
sion' he scattered a large number of
$1 bills over one of the leading cafe3
of Kansas City, and gave little regard
for money apparently. Later he told
the wife that he was going to Omaha
and would vtltq her as soon as' he ar
rived there, but, so far there has
been no' intimation " of his where
abouts and no message from him to
the bride. In hopes of hearing some
word of his whereabouts she came to
this city but ,. the. friends helre have!
no knowledge' of his present location.!
To the Journal representative Mrs.
Hollmeyer expressed -her high regard
of the husbandand her opinion 13
that he has been' engaged in some oc-
cupation that he' regards as menial
and does not Care to let her know, :
as she states he was very high mind
ed and loved the attractive and lux
urious things of life, and perhaps
this causes him to refrain from send
ing her word. .
During his residence here, Mr.
Hollmeyer made many friends as he
was a very affable and genial gentle
man and his early training had been
of the best as he was a gentleman
at all times, but to those with whom
he was the most intimate, he pre
served a secrecy as to his past and
his leaving here was as sudden as
was that at Kansas City, as without
any apparent reason he took hia de
parture from this city without a word
to any of the friends and had not
been heard from until the receipt of
a message by Legion officials from
Kansas City a few days ago inquir
ing as to his whereabouts and stating
the fact of his marriage.

ASK THAT RIGHTS
OF CHILDREN BE
PROTECTED
Case in District Court Covers Oral
Agreement When Children are
Adopted Seek Eelief.
Prom Saturday's Dally.
This morning a case wa3 filed in
the district court by William A. Rob
ertson as attorney for Kenneth, Al
bert and Raymond Gerdes against
John P. Gerdes et al, in which the
plaintiffs seek to have their rights K
the estate of Martha Gerdes fixed by
the court.
Tho nl.i int Iffa were adooted child
ren of the Gerdes family and were j
adopted in September, 1917, and !
since that time Mrs. Martha Gerdes
has died and the estate placed in the (
hands of C. S. Aldrich as adminis
along the lines of handling boj-s that
would fit them for the position oi
head of the organization.
The need of the scouts has been
felt not only by the boys who were
members., but by the parents and
those interested in the boys who real
ized the importance of this lino of
work for the young lads of the com
munity. This need has resulted in a
general attempt to revive the orga
nization and a committee composed
of E. H. Wescott, W. G. Kieck, C. F.
Schmidtmann and Dr. R. P. Westover
was named to sound out the possi
bilities of getting back on its feet the
once active troops of boys.
In searching for a leader for the
scouts, the committee was fortunate
iu securing C. H. Peden. science
teacher of the high school, and . a
young man who has had a great deal
of work with boys and is eminently
well qualified for the position, and
the gratification of the committee
at his acceptance was most profound
and one of the chief obstacles to the
formation of the troop was removed.
Henry Leacock, one of the young men
attending the high school, was se
cured as assistant scoutmaster and
Carl Schmidtmann as secretary and
treasurer of the committee and the
organization was ready to take up
the work.
The boys have been meeting with
Mr. Peden in the high school every
Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock and
taking up their work that is a com;
bination of the regular ceremonial as
well as recreation, and educational
and of the greatest benefit to all
who are members of the troop.
Many have the k Impression that
scout work is of a nature that will
tend to create a military spirit in the
boys but this is untrue and an un
just view to take of the work as the
only similarity of the scouts and
military organizations is the fact
that both strive to maintain the
highest physical efficiency and the
spirit of discipline which is one
thing badly needed in this day and
age of the world. 1
The creed or oath of the scout is
in itself an inspiration to the mak
ing of the finest type of men for the
future and it is herewith given that
those who are not familiar with this
work may have a better conception
of it:
lOn my honor, I pledge to do my
best.
To do my duty to God and my coun
try, To obey the scout laws.
To help other people at all times.
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake antf morally
straight."
These principles certainly will
tend to make better citizens of the
boys of the scout troop in the years
when they will become the men of
the community. If you have the op
portunity, aid the scouts and remem
ber that next week is Boy Scout
Week in this old land of ours and be
a booster.
