Iowa Men are
Fined for Liquor
Possession
John Baker and Frank Swigart of
Hamburg, Iowa, Arrested Near
the Platte River Bridges.
From Monday's Daily
Homeward bound from a business
rtip in Omaha last evening, John
Baker and Frank Swigart, two young .
men of Hamburg, Iowa, were unfor-
tunate enough to get themselves into.rf. of he Holv Ro3arv and ?t.
the talons of the law and which prov-
ed a costly experience to the two men
The report was sent here of the
men being seen in the vicinity of the
Platte river bridges, their car having
had some trouble in getting along
the highway and also the men having
difficulty in getting around, so much
so that their condition attracted the
attention of the passersby and led to
word of their condition being sent
on to this city. Sheriff E. P. Stewart
and Deputy Sheriff W. C. Schaus re
sponded to the call and on their
reaching the point where the car of
the two men was stranded they found
the parties suffering from a very pro
nounced overdose of the prohibited
beverages that made their progress
a matter of difficulty.
Deputy Sheriff Schaus states that
when he first reached the scene of
action that one of the men was very
hostile and made a pass at the deputy
sheriff but was finally brought into
a peaceable condition and brought on
intothe city. When sobered up the
stranger was calm and regretful of
the act but was full of war when
still suffering from his stimulants.
The two men were Drought on in
to this city and cared for during the
l ight and the car towed in for
safety until the owners could be able
to satisfy the demands of outraged
justice.
This morning complaint was filed
against the two men by County At
torney Kieck charging them with the
possession of intocantin;' liquors
contrary to the peace and dignity of
the liquor laws of the state and each
of the men had a fine of $100 and
cost assessed againSt them by County
Judge A. II. Duxbury. The amount
required was supplied by the two men
and they were sent on their way re
joicing with their headed for the
metropolis of Fremont county.
CHICKENS ARE BACK HOME
From Monday's Daily
The old saying that "Chickens
Come Home to Roost" can be fully
appreciated by County Attorney W.
G. Kieck, as he has just had the
pleasure of having hi3 flock of thor
oughbred hens as well ns the six
ducks that constitute the family
livestock, returned after an absence.
It seems that on Friday evening
the county attorney locked up the
chickens and the ducks in their ac
customed roosting places and at that
time there was none of the flock J
missing but on Saturday morning
when the feeding time came for the
chickens and ducks, the only response
to the "chow call' was the rooster of
the flock and one old setting hen,
eleven hens and the six ducks be-
ing among the missing. A search
around the immediate vicinity of the
Kieck home failed to disclose any
signe of the whereabouts of the miss-j
ing feathered members of the house-
hold.
The failure to find the missing since made this city his home, form

Malvern Wins
from the Local
High School
By Score of 14 to 0 the Iowa Team
Plows Its Way to Victory Yes
terday Afternoon at Malvern.
. From Tiu-fcday'.s I;a:iy
j The fast and skillfull Malvern.
Iowa, football team yesterday aftor
; noon took the measure of locals on
, the grounds in the Iowa city and
while losing the Plattsmouth team
can feel pleased that the score of 14
I to 0 was not larger, as Malvern
phowed the best form of any team that
Plattsmouth has faced this season or
that they will meet In the future on
their 1925 schedule.
The Malvern team had the ad
vantage of having many of their three
and four men on the lineup this
season and several of these players
showed real college form in their
work on the field. With this condi
tion it was a credit to the locals that
they held them to the two touch
downs. In the opening quarter the Platts
mouth) blue and white threatened the
Malvern goal but by hard battle the
Iowa team turned back the tide and
forced their opponents to play large
ly a defensive game throughout the
rest of the contest.
By straight football and hard line
hitting the Iowa team in the third
and fourth quarter drove their way
through the Plattsmouth defense
and were able to Bcore as their
experience and size and weight wore
down the local defence to a large
degree.
In the game Sterling Hatt, one of
the few Plattsmouth veterans suf
fered the breaking of one of his
fingers while Captain Harlan Gorder
suffered an injured rib in their bat
tle against the Malvern machine.
The Plattsmouth high schol will
have two games this week as they
are scheduled to face the Nebraska
School for the Deaf on Friday after
noon in this city, the game being call
ed at 3:45. This should be one of
the best games of the season as the
School for the Deaf always has a
strong and aggressive team to repre
sent them on the gridiron.
