DELIGHTFUL BRIDGE TEA
From Thursday's Dally
The case of August Thimgan vs.
V. H. Gamblin, which occupied the
attention of the county court all day
yesterday resulted in a decision by
Judge A. H. Duxbury in favor of the
defendant, Mr. Gamblin.
The action was one in which the
plaintiff sued to recover damages for
the loss of a house on his farm, which
was alleged to have been burned by
a fire that was started by the defend
ant on his land and which it was
claimed had swept across the road
and fired the grass and waste material
on the Thimgan land and caused the
house to burn.
It was held by the court that the
plaintiff failed to offer the proper
proof that the fire that caused the
destruction of the property in ques
tion had been caused by the fire set
by Mr. Gamblin on his place.
There were a large number pres
ent from the locality where the land
is located near Murdock to hear the
case.
Glen Rhoden and wife were in
Omaha today where they will spend
a few hours with Mrs. J. R. C. Greg
ory at the St. Catherine's hospital
where she is taking treatment and
will undergo an operation in a very
short time. Mrs. Rhoden is a daugh
ter of Mrs. Gregory.

From Friday's Dally .
The employes of the Plattsmouth'
district of the Nebraska Gas & Elec
tric company, comprising this portion
of the state, had a very pleasant
meeting last evening at the local of
fices of the company, in which there
were many matters ot interest tanen
up and discussed as well as a fine'
social time enjoyed by all of the.
party.
The occasion was arranged by.
Manager F. I. Rhea of the district
and was one of the most delightful
that has been held in this city for
some time. There was a fine lunch
eon served at the Lewis cafe in the
fore part of the evening and from
the enjoyment of this feature the
members of the party took their way
to the light company offices which ,
had been decorated and arranged j
for the occasion in a most fitting
manner.
The time was spent in the latter j
part of the evening in cards, much
interest being taken in this diversion
and also in several musical numbers
that were provided to assist in mak
ing the occasion more than usually
pleasant.
Among those who were here from
out of the city to attend the occa
sion were C. C. Helmers, Lincoln;
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Archer, of Shen
andoah, Iowa, Mr. Archer being the
manager at Shenandoah; Stanley
Tabor, of Lincoln; Charles Hamilton
and wife, of Shenandoah.
There was a very pleasing number
of the company employes present to
enjoy the evening.

From Saturday Dally
The condition of the court house
was very quiet today with only a
very few visitors there and with
only the routine matters occupying
the attention of the officials. After
a spurt of business that brought
several new cases to be filed and
placed in the docket, the work of the
clerk of the district court's office
has been devoted to routine matters
and making transcripts for those
who think they have failed to re
ceive justice and are going higher.
The sheriff and county attorney
have not been having the usual grist
of complaint and troubles of in
dividuals over the county and are
able to clear up other matters that
may be awaiting their attention.
Even the court of Judge Duxbury
is resting up with no new cases or
trials taking place. George and Will
in the clerk's office always have a
great deal of book work when other
activities cease in their office. The
always busy place is that of the
county treasurer and where there is
always a raft of business to be hand
led every day. The office of County
Superintendent Miss Alpha Peter
son was ousy with the eight grade
examinations being held today.
ENJOYS A . PLEASANT MEETING

also n the rrangements for the club
being represented at the meeting to
be held in Lincoln soon. Miss Marie

Legion Banquet !
Date Postponed!
Inability of New Department Adju
tant to be Here on Feb. 10th,
Causes Changes in Plans
From Friday's Pally
The Legion banquet set for Wed
nesday night, February 10th, has
been postponed indifinitely. Word
received from the new department ad
jutant C. W. Conklin, who had been
invited to come here on that date and
discuss with local Legion officials
plans for the entertainment of the
district Legion convention here next
May has been called to an important
conference of department adjutants
at national headquarters, and it has
been decided to postpone the banquet
indefinitely.
With the uncertainty of a date
when Adjutant Conklin can come for
a convention conference it is quite
likely he may drop in between trains
and the plans for holding a banquet
in his honor be dispensed with en
tirely. Plans were laid for a most suc
cessful banquet and in addition to
the department adjutant, a number of
other guests were to have been pres
ent, among them representatives of
the Plattsmouth Ad club and the
Chamber of Commerce, and it is to
be greatly regretted that the banquet
has had to suffer a postponement and
probable concellation.
However, the post will get down
to real work in preparing for the dis
trict convention, which will take a
great deal of the time of active com
mittemen. The cornerstone of the new com
munity auditorium will be laid dur
ing convention day, which has been
set for Thursday, May 20th, and
there will be other attractions, aimed
not only to bring Legionnaires, but
other people to town, on that day.
