Harpster Car
Case to Test
Out State Law
Mortgagee Claims New "Pint" Law
Abrogates Confiscatory Power
Under the Old Statute.
From Saturday's Dally
The ease wherein the Nebraska
City National Hank is tfie plaintiff
anil Sheriff E. P. Stewart is the de
fendant, will probably test out in the
state supreme court the question as
to the constitutionality of the law
that covers the taking of mortgaged
cars which may be caught In the
transportation of Intoxicating liquor,
as the attorneys for the bank in the
case wherein the fate of the $2,300
car of Mrs. Bota Harpster is involv
ed, will attack the power of seizure
by the Cass county sheriff on the
ground that the state liquor law re
cently enacted and known as the
pint" law, repeals that section of
the Nebraska statute under which the
confiscating of cars was authorized.
The nniiit of law raised is nn of
greatest interest and the staff of at- lia3 been held at the grounds of the
torneys for the bank. Judge Paul : Central building during the vacation
lessen. A. L. Tidd and C. A. Rawls 0f .season- under the direction of Miss
this city, will stress the tjuestion of.Cordeila Fields, will close their ac
the interpretation of the statutes onltivities n Saturday and the chil
this nhase of the law as to whether' dren spend the next few weeks in
or not the law enacted by the last
legislature did not replace the prev
ious law and thereby eliminate the
provision that made autos (whether
mortgaged or chattle-free) liable for
confiscation and sale, ever since the
trial case brought from this county
in 1917 to test that phase of the old
law.
The case was brought to trial yes
terday afternoon in the district court
and the time taken up by the court
in hearing the arguments on the mo
tion offered by County Attorney V.
O. Kieck anJ William A. Robertson,
representing the sheriff. The motion
was that as the mortgage held by the
bank had not been filed until May
21. 11)26. and the car was taken here
by the sheriff on May 14, 1926, the
mortgage could not be considered in
the question of disposition of the car.
The motion was taken under advise
ment by Judge Degley rnd a decision
and ruling on the matter is expected
this afternoon.
If the decision is for the defend
ant it will probably stop the further
trial of the case here while in the
event that the motion is overruled
the case will go on trial before the
court and the attack on the state law
covering the sale of confiscated cars
on which there are mortgages held by
innocent parties will be carried out
by attorneys for the plaintiff bank.
In the event of the case being de
cided here for the defendants, the
case will without doubt be carried to
the supreme court for the final judg
ment of that body as to the constitu
tionality of the law involved.
The case will be watched with in
terest over the state as it is the first
test of the law to be made since the
enactment of the provision known as
tlie "pint" law.

Very Large Number Present and Great
Interest Shown in the
Entertainment.
From Friday's Daily
Eimwood was the center of attrac
tion of practically all of Cass county
j'CLierday on theoccasion of the big
community day that was staged by
the residents of that community and
?n vhioh nil of the residents for many
miles around joined.
The observance was held in the city
and from early in the morning until
late at night the crowds were in evi
dence on the street, , all enjoying
themselves and having the time of
their lives in the hospitality afforded
by the residents of Elmwood.
The Weeping Water band furnished
a fine program of music during the
course of the day, the concerts being
held at the school house grounds. A
big parade featured the morning por
tion of the program and was one that
was a real credit to the city.
The picnic party had the opportun
ity of hearing an address from Hon.
A. J. Weaver of Falls City, one of the
outstanding figures in the state and
whose address was well worth the
journey to Elmwood to hear.
In the program of the day there
were two ball games staged. Green
wood and Palmyra, while Weeping
Water and Elmwood battled for the
honors of the second game.
The. water fight that was staged be
tween Weeping Water and Elmwood
proved a draw as the water pressure
was low and did not permit the fight
3rs to do their full amount of fighting
that they had come prepared to show.
The celebration a.1 a whole was one
that Elmwood and its people can feel
proud of and which they carried out
to the fullest extent in the entertain

Cass county.
There was a large array of candi
dates present, practically all of the
seekers after the suffrage of the

Change Made
in Burlington
Store Dept.
C. E. Swanson of Casper, Wyoming,
Here to Take Place of W. F. Hun
eke, Former Storekeeper.
From Friday's Daily
This morning J. (J. Stewart, gen
eral storekeeper of the Bui linntoii.
arrive-d in the city in company with
'a number of the minor officials of
the department and also C. E. Swan
son of Casper, Wyoming, who comes
to this city to take the position f
storekeeper at Plattsmouth in suc
cession to W. F. Huncke. who ha
just resigned his position here.
The new storekeeper has been on
the Casper division of the Burling
ton for some time and has a very
clear knowledge of this department
of the railroad work and should make
a very capable successor to Mr. Hun
eke, who has so capably filled the
office of storekeeper here in the last
few years.
The change in the office has been
pending for several days but it
was not until the arrival of tho
new storekeeper here today that the
local office was aware of the gentle
man that would have charge of their
work In the future.
The store department here handles
large amounts of supplies each year
for the various places on the lines
west and is one of the most import
ant positions for the railroad work
in this part of the west and requires
a great deal of ability on the part
of the man holding the position.
The friends of Mr. Huneke and his
very estimable family will regre t to
learn of the change that may pos
sibly mean the removal of the fam
ily to some other point if Mr. Hunc ke
decides to continue his railroad work.
In the years that the Huneke family
have lived here thy have been prom
lent in the social and religious life
of the community and have by their
work and assistance been a votal
factor In the community life that will
make their absence keenly felt if
Jhey should decide to leave this city
to seek a home elsewhere. Mr. Hun
eke personally ha enjoyed the warm
est friendship of a large part of the
residents of the community and has
always proved a genial and clever
gentleman In every way and one that
has to a marked degree the esteem
and respect of all those with whom
he has come in contact.
