VOLUNTEER GROWTH
OF WHEAT IN COURT
Supreme Tribunal of State Decides
It Belongs to Landlord Instead
of Prior Year's Tenant.
A crop of volunteer wheat is un
earned increment, says the supreme
court, in deciding the controversy
between Harvey Lindley, land owner
of Deuel county, and W. E. Wright,
who was the tenant the year before
the crop appeared. Being: unearned
increment, it attaches to the land,
and is the property ' of the owner
thereof.
The case involved a crop of 4,300
bushels that was harvested in 1920,
when wheat was selling at $2.25 a
bushel. The stake, therefore, was
close to $10,000. Lindley had leased
the land to a man named Castle the
previous year, and he had assigned
his lease to Wright, who harvested a
big wheat crop that year.
The evidence showed that a verbal
agreement was made between Lind
ley and Wright that the latter sh'ould
have the land the next year. Wright,
however, took his machinery off the
land, went to California for the win
ter, and having said nothing to Lind
ley nor planted any fall wheat, the
land owner supposed that the deal
was off. '
Early the next spring he leased the
land to another man, and when the
latter went onto it to work it, he dis
covered a lot of volunteer wheat had
appeared. He told Lindley and they
decided to wait and see if it amount

ed to anything. It did, but - just
about the time it was ready to cut,
Wright appeared and harvested It.
An effort to stop him by injunction
failed, and then was begun the pres
ent lawsuit, one in replevin, or for
the value of the wheat.
Wright claimed that the crop was
not entirely volunteer in the sense
that it grew without his assistance.
He said that when he harvested the
crop in 1919 he set the machine so
that it would reseed the ground, but
the supreme court does not take much
stock in this theory and says that
the evidence clearly shows Wright
had abandoned any contract he had
for the land the next 5"ear, although
he says that he came back from the
west to harvest the crop he knew
was waiting for him. The court
says it will take judicial notice that
most harvesters waste grain when
at work.

CONCERN TO BE
SOLD AT AUCTION
Date of Sale of Sheldon Manufactur
ing Company Set for July 6th
To Close Up Affairs.
The Sheldon Manufacturing Co., of
Xehawka, known nationally as man
ufacturers of the Sheldon barrel type
concrete mixers since 1914, and later
a small power circular saw, outfit,
and which became so deeply involved
financially during the past three
years that the stockholders advised
and voted that the company go into
voluntary bankruptcy, will come to
a final adjustment of the business on
July 6th. At this time the referee
will sell the assets of the company
and apply the proceeds to its in
debtedness. If any local party or parties are
contemplating purchasing the ma
chinery, buildings, equipment, etc.,
formerly used for the manufacture
of these mixers and the continuance
of the business, they have kept the
fact to themselves, and it is not
known who or whom will be the
purchasers at this date.
The Enterprise, like many others,
would like very much to see the
business again resumed on a prof
itable basis as it once was until the
readjustment period following the
war, and which was responsible to
a large extent for the failure of the
Sheldon Manufacturing Co., as well
as hundreds of other manufacturing
firms throughout the country.
Many people, even in our midst,
have failed to recognize the valuable
asset the Sheldon Manufacturing Co.
has been to our little village, and
while some of us have lost heavily,
more perhaps than we really can af
ford, we for one do not wish to throw
cold water on the former manage
ment, and will lend our support to
the successors, whomsoever they may
be. Nehawka Enterprise.

RETURNS FROM
A SAD MISSION AT
STELLMEBRASKA
Mrs. B. J. Halstead Returns After
Attending Funeral of Brother
Death Was Sudden.
From Saturday's Dally.
Yesterday, Mrs. B. J. Halstead re
turned home from Stella, Nebraska,
where she was called the first of the
week by the sudden death of her
brother, T. M. Henderson, which oc
curred at Howe on Monday evening,
and came as a great shock to the
members of the family.
Mr. Henderson had been busy
working on his farm which is locat
ed near Stella and at evening time
had come in quite heated as the re
sult of the day's labor and after a
short rest proposed to the members
of the family that they all go to a
lake near Howe for a ride and to
escape the heat. They spent some
time there and about 9 o'clock start
ed for their home and stopped in
Howe to make some purchases. Mr.
Henderson was sitting in the car and
had just pulled out his pocketbook
and given his little girl some money
to make a purchase at one of the
stores when he fell back against the
seat of the car with a groan and in a
few seconds he was dead, death com
ing as the result of a sudden attack
of heart trouble.
The funeral was held Wednesday
afternoon at 2:30 at the farm home
and Mr .and Mrs. Halstead and child
ren if this city attended the services.
Mr. Halstead returned that evening
and the family remained over for a
visit with the bereaved family of the
deceased.
Mr. Henderson was forty-six vears
and six months old and was mar-!
ried, leaving a family of four daugh
ters and one son. Up to the time of
his death he had been in apparently
perfect health.

OBJECT TO ARTICLE
In the article appearing the Jour
nal urging the construction of a
swimming pool in this city, several i
of the good people of our neighbor
ing little city of Murray have found
cause for objection, in that they
view it as an attempt to detract from
their new enterprise.
There is no one in Plattsmouth ,
who is not pleased with the fact that '
the people of Murray have shown
the enterprise that they have in the
construction of the new swimming ;
pool there and they deserve all oft
the success possible for their spirit!
of enterprise and particularly the
gentlemen who were the backers of
the proposition to the extent of much !
expense. This does not, however, les
sen the fact that Plattsmouth is in
need of a similar institution and
that it has allowed our enterprising
neighbor to be first to erect one
should be the cause of a feeling of
congratulation to. the residents of
Murray. , .

Mrs. C. T. Peacock and her daugh
ters. Misses Harriett and Florence,
who are to leave Monday for their
new home in Lincoln.
While the occasion was one very
pleasant in a social way it was filled
with a feeling of regret that the
pleasant associations with the Pea
cock family were soon to be severed
and the services of the ladies lost to
the choir in which they have had an
active part for a number of years.
During the evening the members
of the party were called upon for in

BOY SCOUTS ARE
HAVING A REAL
TIME AT CAMP
Scoutmaster Writes of Experiences
of Scouts at Camp Gauer
Sunday is Visitors' Day.
From Saturday's Dally.
The life in the open with exercise
and hikes is making one big hit with
the members of the Boy Scouts from
litis city who are now at Camp
Gauer, near Louisville, altho judg
ing from the statements of the lads
they have the old objection to K. P.
duty that certainly will be shared
by former service men who have had
experience with this duty. In speak
ing of the routine of the camp life,
Mr. C. H. Peden, scoutmaster, writes
as follows:
The morning is devoted to study
ing testing and swimming and the
afternoon to games, competition of
skill in the various lines of scouting
and to swimming. The evening is
&u,rits ll,s: sl,IS'ns ",es'
! R-inff stu.nts and instruction. hen
it conies time for call to quarters the
boys are ready for sleep as most of
them are tired.
Six fellows have to go on guard
every night and six on K. P. each
day so every fellow has a change to
go on both guard duty and K. P.
Edward Patterson is camp banker
and George Caldwell camp bugler, so
the Plattsmouth boj3 are quite proud
of them.
At the request of the Journal a
number of the boys have written
their experiences and views of the
life at Camp Gauer which are very
interesting as showing the enjoy
ment derived by the members of the
party:
"The best thing of all in camp is
the swimmin. even if you can't
swim." Linville Wiles.
"I was sleeping nice the other
night when it was raining when all
at once I was flooded. The tent was
leaking. It would be a nice thing if
the tent didn't leak." George Hass.
"Say, the K. P. sure is the
berries; water carrying, too."
Ralph Mason.
"The best things 4.n camp are eat
ing and sleeping. Paul Pickett.
"Camp Gauer is the best place in
Cass county. If you get a chance,
come out and see us have our fun in
the water." Joe Buttery.
"We have the best bunch of boys
in the U. S. I think and so do the
others. We get all the exercise and
fresh air we need, some of it is too
fresh, in the morning." George
Perry.
Camp life is some life (except
when you are on K. P.) but except
that camp life is great." Edgar
Wescott.
"Camp life can't be beat. A Boy
Scout camp, especially." Edward
Patterson.
"I like the camp fine; the place Is
hilly and rocky." Harold Jennings.
"I am getting fatter every day.
j don't like K p. Gilbert Clark.
j "Thursday, 'tacky' night. All the
j boys dressed up as 'tacky as they
could." Robert Wurl.
"The water is fine and the mos
quitoes biting fine." John Bauer.
"Wednesday night the scouts went
to the haunted house. The chief and
water chief told sorne hair-raising
I . ...
I crnric Tho hnv Hint c onf t h oro ell ra
was praised by the other scouts."
George Swatek.
"I think camp life is very nice but
I would sooner have the mess hall at
the top of the hill so after meals we
would not have to climb Constitution
hill." Lester Stout.
"Camp life is the berries. Climb
ing lip Constitution hill wears out
my constitution. The K. P.'s and the
bugler have hard jobs." George
Caldwell.
The camp site is an ideal one, state
Dr. A. D. Caldwell and E. A. Wurl,
who visited the camp there and they
were more than pleased with the
manner in which the camp is regu
lated and conducted and which thor
oughly protects the boys from in
jury or harm. This is especially true,
Mr. Wurl states, as regards the
swimming. The boys are checked
as they go in swimming and no one
is allowed to go in the water alone
and not until some guard is at hand.
A boat is patrolling the water all of
! the time that swimming is going on
and a guard is on shore to look af
ter the boys. The beginners are kept
in a shallow section of water that is
fenced off from the rest of the lake
and here the boys can learn to swim
in safety. There are three guards
on duty at the lake at all times.
The camp regulations call for the
observance of retreat each evening
and with military regulation the
boys are lined up as the colors are
struck and the musician plays tt the
colors. A lecture on the duty to the
flag is a part of the retreat exer
cises. The camp is located on the top of
a large hill, known as Constitution
hill, and is a very fine place with a
commanding view, so the visitors
state, and the mess hall of the camp

BRYAN OUT OF
LINE AS DRY CRU-,
SADERNOW DAYS
Is Dropped by Anti-Saloon league
and No Longer uonsmerea us
Special Representative.
Westerville, O., June 29. Wil
liam J. Bryan has been dropped by
the anti-saloon league. He 13 no long
er tho big attraction of the dry forc
es, and will not be its representative
in the next democratic national con
vention, it was announced at a meet
ing of league members here today.
Explanation of the apparent cool
nest which had sprung up between
the commoner and the league was
found today when the executive com-r
mittee met to approve the war pro
gram outlined by the council of sttae
superintendents and leaders In the
sessions here during the last few
d 3 ys
It develops that altho Mr. Bryan is
to speak in this locality tomorrow
and could have been present during
the sessions to advise the dry cru
saders how to fight. He was not In
vited, and furthermore ho is not
speaking anywhere as the official
representative of the league and will
not be asked to do so. The league
leaders frankly state they are thru
with Mr. Bryan, and do not consider
that he can be of any further use to
them.
There are several reasons assign
ed. By his campaign recently for re
election as moderator of the Presby
terian church Mr. Bryan created
friction in that denomination. His
utterances on the subject of evolu
tion have caused friction in the
church. He is so closely identified
with democratic politics that the
league is afraid of his tagging the
dry organization as anti-republican,
and the fact is that the league poli
ticians are predominantly in favor of
following President Harding's liquor
enforcement policies and throwing
off all allegiance with the democrats.

MAKING IMPROVEMENTS
There are a number of small im
provements being made in the busi
ness section that add very much to
the convenience and appearance of
the various places of business. Among
these are the painting of the front
of the Hatt meat market and grocery,
which the workmen employed by
Frank Gobelman have finished off in
the attractive shade of apple green
and which adds much to the appear
ance of the exterior of the build
ing. The Royal cafe has had installed
a series of ceiling fans which aid in
the cooling of the room and make
It much more comfortable for the
patrons of this place of business.
At the Chase meat market there
has been installed a new Huiisman
freezer display case where the meat3
can be placed and exposed to view
and still kept in a cool condition for
the use of the public and which is
one of the last words in the way of
displaying meats for sale.
FIRE WORKS AND
SHOOTING TOYS
You will find an excellent line of
firecrackers, small fireworks .ami
shooting toys to help the children
celebrate the elorious Fonrth eit t.n
Bates Corner Book and Stationery
Store. Also a nice line of toy pis
tols, paper caps, paper baloons, tor
pedeos and other joy makers for the
children. The prices are right.
