HEAVY RAIN NEAR UNION
From Tuesday's rwtlly
Travelers who reached this city
this morning: from the south report
that in the vicinity of Union for an
area of two miles south of that place
there was a very heavy rainstorm
last night. The cars that reached
here bore evidences of the journey
through the mud and the rain was
reported to have made the road very
muddy for the two miles covered by
the storm.
The threatening clouds that hov
ered over this city from 4:00 to 5:30
last evening caused some apprehen
sion among the residents of this lo
cality but the clouds peacefully roll
ed by with only a few drops of mois
ture to show that they had great
possibilities. A stiff wind blowing
brought recollections of the big tor
nado of twelve years ago and much
worry to a number of the residents
of the city and vicinity, but this
community, as on that fateful day,
was lucky in escaping the storm.

Fred was gathered up while he

"If you put me in the jug, I'll
probably lose my job and be back
here again as a vagrant, like some

the story Fritz told the judge, and
in recognition of the apparently
truthful tale the judge only gave him
a short period of repentence In the

Fifteenth and Oak street and where
the ground near the bridge is not the
most solid in the world. The young

UST GRAND JURY CASE
Case Sent Back Fron Supreme Court

From WedneFday'p raily
This afternoon the jury in the case
of the State of Nebraska vs. Carl G.
Fricke, returned their verdict at
'J:C0, freeing Mr. Fricke of the
charges made in a grand jury indict
ment of having made fase entries
in his records as secretary of the
Livingston Loan & Building associa
tion. The testimony oTc-red in the case
was not of the char-icter to draw the
uLual gallery of eager Visitors, as the
ler.g diccuttiens of figures and meth
ods cf bookkeeping were of a nature
that held no interest for the spec
tator and gave more of a school-room
atmosphere to the court.
O. M. Campbell of Lincoln, ac
countant for the state, was the main
witness cf the afternoon with his ac
ccusts cf the alleged errors and en
tries made in the records of the books
of the Livingston Loan fir Building
ac.-'oriation of which the defendant
was the secretary at the time.
Miss .Anna Ilassler, who has had
charge of the books of the assoria

dence by the state to cover the cases
of false entries claimed to have been
made. '
II. X. Dove y. .liTcsiutu-the First
National bank, whs called to the
stnnd and tertified s to the methods
of bookkeeping that were used in
banks and also the system used in
building and loan associations.
Tc- also testified to the fact that Mr.
Fricke had been employed in his
! rk as a bookkeeper for p. period of
seventeen years, coming there when
z youth and continuing there until
r.f'er his selection as secretary of the
building and loan association.
A. L. Tidd. who has been solicitor
fey "the Livingston Loan & Building
association, testified as to a check
made of the books cf the company
by the witness and pointing out the
diffe-ences in the figures shown on
the books and that which he had se
cured in his audit of the books. The
witness testified that he had taught
bookkeeping in schools and colleges
r.l also had made audits of the
books of the M. W. A. and the sher
iff's office here in addition to the
books of the loan association.
Harry S. Barthold of the board of
directors of the defunct association,
testified as to the monthly meetings
cf the board of directors, the fact
tte report of the report of the secre
tary had been accepted without ques
tion at the meeting as a true state
ment of the condition of the affairs
of he association. Ke did not know
cf anv statement of the defendant as
not wanting an audit of the books
of the association in 1921.
Frank E. Schlater, also a former
director of the association, was call
ed and questioned as to the fact of
the defendant having objected ot an
audit of the books and stated that he
recalled only that the secretary had
stated he did not think an audit was
needed.
H. M. Soennichsen, former presi
dent of the Livingston Loan & Build
ing association, was called to the
stand and testified to the fact that
Mr. Fricke had stated when the mat
ter of the audit had been brought up
in the summer of 1921 that the state
examiner had been over the books
and an additional audit would only
make more expense for the associa
tion.
The 6tate rested its case at 4:30
and at the conclusion of the state's
evidence, Mr. Halleck Rose of the de
fense counsel, offered a motion to
have the court take the case from the
hands of the Jury and direct a ver
diet for the defendant whicn was
overruled by Judge Fitzgerald and
the trial ordered to be carried on.
The first witness for the defense
was F. L. Greenfield, accountant for
the defense, who testified as to en
tries in the records of the Livingston
Loin fc Building association and
pointed out the entries that were
questioned as being made to correct
errors or for the purpose of balanc
ing the accounts and not to repre
sent the cash transactions of the as
sociation.
The defense did not offer a great
deal of- testimony in the case and
closed its side of the case by sum
moning a number of character wt
nesses to testify to the good charac
ter and reputation of Mr. Fricke in
the community up to and including
the year 1921. James M. Robertson,
Allen J. Beeson, E. H. Wescott, E. A.

PRESENTED AT THE

Doane College Players will Offer This
Attraction Under Auspices of
the Junior Class.
From T'jesdav's Daily
The junior class of the Plattsmouth
high school will offer at the high
school auditorium on Friday evening
at 8 o'clock, the Doane college play
ers in "Dulcy."
This is a very high class attraction
and the Crete Democrat in speaking
of the tresentation of the play there
has the following:
"The presentation of Dulcy to a
packed house, at the Sokol theatre
Fridaj- evening, November 14, bj the
Doane Players marked another
achievement in the history of the
dramatic moveraent at Doane under
the able direction of Miss Mao Ellen
Inglis.
"Mr. Harold uuraick, as Vincent
Leach, a rapturous scenario writer,
did an excellent bit of acting. Miss
Irma Ilc.kuf, carrying the leading role
as Dulcy fitted into her part enthusi
astically and kept the audience
breathlessly waiting to see Just what
trouble she would make next for her
patient and long suffering husband.
The part of the husband was taken
by Mr. Ed Eayer. Dulcy, whose other
name was Smith, was infected with
an overpowering desire to be helpful
to her husband thus giving rise to
acute situations which furnished the
comed' that gave the play success.
"Plaj-ing the role of C. Rogers
Forbes, a rich capitalist with whom
Smith is trying to put through an
important business merger, Mr. Clar
ence Kubicek did a bit of character
work,, which with the acting of Mr.
Burdick was probably the best of the
evening.
"Mr. Gorden Heyhoe, as William
Decker, Dulcy's brother furnished a
great deal of the humor, and eloped
with Angela Foibes, daughter of the
capitalist" The part of Miss Forbes
was ably taken by Miss Ruth Oster
hout. -
'Schj-ler Van Dyck, from Newport,
who later turns out to be a harmless
lunatic was portrayed by Mr. LeRoy
Laase. Miss Edna Carlson, played
the part of Mrs. Forbes and Bernard
Klasek took the part of Blair Patter
son, an attorney who came for the
escaped lunatic.
"Henry, the butler, an ex-convict
protegee of Dulcy, was portrayed by
Mr. Charles Baj-er, and he did an ex
cellent bit of acting, keeping within
his character throughout the play.
"Mr. Elmer Huffman took the part
of Mr. Sterrett, advertising agent for
Mr. Forbes, and was one of the three
men to be in love with Angela.
From the standpoint of acting the
play was a notable success. The
character work was remarkable for
unprofessionals."
