From Monday's Daily The search for the body of Jack Patterson, Union banker, supposed to have perished in Lake Michigan, has ! continued unabated and without re sult so far of finding the body of the unfortunate young man or any word as to parties who might have seen him during the time he is supposed to have made his fatal plunge into the cold waters of the lake The relatives of the unfortunate man have offered a reward of $500 for any trace of his fate or the re . ,Inv by Albert Deegan, brother-in- luw of Mr. Patterson and who has had active charge of the search made by the police department for the body in the lake From Chicago comes the statement that it Id thought perhaps Mr. Pat terson may have suffered a sudden stroke or overheating that brought on a lapse of memory and caused him to wander off, but this theory is hard to understand in view of the fact that the garments of Mr.- Pat terson with his money and personal effects were found in his car near the Estees street beach at the lake front and where he is supposed to have disappeared. PLATTSMOUTH WINS FROM FALLS CITY Take Victory by Score of 6 to 1 From Richardson County Team in a Spectacular Battle From Monday's Daily The Falls City baseball -toam, one of the best in eastern Nebraska and which has had a notable-Trcord -of victories the past season had their winning streak punctured yesterday afternoon on their home lot wnen the Plattsmouth team took the win ning end of a hard fought battle by the score of 6 to 1. The ?ime was one of the best that the locals have had this season and the manv hundreds who Journeyed to the hillton park to witness the struggle felt that they had received their money's worth in the quality of ball dished out by the Plattsonians for their benefit. The hurling arnimf Art Klauschie was working in good shape and he was able to keep the hits scattered throughout and only at one time was he in danger. This was when Falls City filled the bases but the good o'tl arm of the local pitcher wa.s working and checked the danger of scoring on the part of the Falls City aggre- gation. The Falls City hurler waS;or extra work in the collector's of not so fortunate as Plattsmouth fill-ifipp to exDeditious'.v take care of ed the bases several times on him and m tne nun inning iwu enuis nu " few hits allowed tne locals to cnecu i up four of their six runs. t - .i t .i .... t r.A f Arc fnf fiaiismouin ana ueiueu m una uc.n territory like a veteran while Wil liam Patrick O'Donnell was grabbing them out in the right garden for Plattsmouth. Gradoville also nicked the Falls Citv hurler for a circuit drive, the only one of the game and which was one of the longest hits seen on the grounds there. The receiving end of the battery was covered by Herb Klauschie whoj played a good game in fact the entire Plat was .tnere ana over anu passeu up npnt Tin ,h nents in the struggle. The game was . so pleasing that the Falls City people are insistent on a return game there the last of the month with the Platts mouth team. The infield and outfield both are without grass and yesterday after noon the wind made the diamond a sea of dust that was reflected in the grimy appearance of the team when they arrived home on the 7:35 Mis souri Pacific last evening, feeling well pleased with the result of the day's work. Plattsmouth has a real aggrega tion of ball players and they are go ing their best this year and are a real credit to the city and one the people here should feel a Just pride In.

These voliminous lists had to be forwarded to Washington for approv al and then returned to Omaha for payment, when a like number of! checks will be issued. These checks are now being made out and mailed to taxpayers as fast as the approved lists are received. Upon the passage of the act It was necessary for the treasury depart ment to prepare and issue iustruc- tions-a3 to the procedure to be fol lowed by the 65 collection districts throughout the United States. Upon receipt of the preliminary instruc tions, the Omaha office began imme diatel: on the work although It was Just at the time of the June 15 pay ment and the ofnee was crowded with work already.
