Relatives of Jack Patterson Offer Re

of Fate of oung Man.
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

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

few hits allowed tne locals to cnecu i
up four of their six runs.

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.

REFUND CHECKS BE

COLLECTOR OF REV.
Treasury Department and Collector's
Office Giving the Taxpayers
Prompt Service.
A. B. Allen, collector of internal
revenue for the district of Nebraska.
stated yesterday that his oiTice is now
if-suing and mailing out the checks
for the refund of the 25 per cent re
duction of personal income t3es paid

by the act of 1924.
The bill was signed by the presi
dent and became law on June 2nd.
Trie first checks covering refunds
were mailed out Julv 9.
Preliminary to making the actual
refund, it was necessary for the col
lector's office to list nearly 25.000
accounts, showing the names and ad
dresses of taxpayers, Ferial number
of returns, total amount of tax paid
and the one fourth due to be refund
ed. 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

from coast to coast more than thirty

mail train thirty hours and forty
minutes, and our slowest eastward

two hours and twenty minutes.
"We had no serious' accidents,
and during the entire month there
was not a mile defaulted. We com
pleted every trip, though we lost
