From Monday's Dally Yesterday afternoon Andy Graves and his aggregation of baseball ex ponents came down from the former college town and proceeded to add to their lead in the Sarpy-Cass Coun ty league pennant race by winning by the score of 3 to 0.

' McCarty in center field saved two hits from being registered in snag ging two long flies in his territory while Herold fielded a very good game at third. In the third inning a very brilliant play at third, Klauschie to Herold enlivened the contest as a perfect peg caught Leach, Bellevue base hunner off the sacK and he was caught flat footed in the throw. The result of the game leaves Plattsmouth in second place in the league and practically does away with the hopes cf displacing the Bellevue bunch from the leadership of the loop.

The drivers of the two cars each turned out to avoid the wreck and both unfortunately turned so that they came together with a great deal of violence and practically demolish ed both of the cars, it being necessary to have the wrecked cars taken into garages for repairs. Fortunately no one was seriously injured in the wreck although Mr. Wooster was shaken up somewhat and one of the little boys suffered a slight laceration on the side of the face that bled profusely and for a time caused the fear that he had been more seriously injured than he really was. OMAHA PARTIES IN TROUBLE From Monday's Dally Saturday evening the strong hand of the law fell heavily on two strang ers who were driving up and down the streets in their auto at a rate of speed that brought the eyes of the night police on thef and led to their being gathered in the folds of the law and placed in the city jail where they could not harm themselves or anyone else. The police discovered that the men had with them a bottle containing the spirits that Volstead has said were outlawed and accordingly faced a charge of possession as well as In toxication. The men rested over Sat urday in the city ba6tile and Sun day afternoon supplied a cash bond of $150 for their appearance here on next Saturday before his honor, Judge William Weber and who will hear the full particulars of the case.

Cawthor, so it is claimed by the Texas and fed eral authorities, also left behind him in the Texas city a wife and three pi children. The federal authorities are anning to press a charge of the vio lation of the Mann act against Caw thor in the transportation of the eighteen years old girl from the south', !to this state and in tDis charge they will call young Rhoden as a witness against the parties, so that the car charges as far as Rhoden was con cerned was dropped as it is thought that Cawthor was guilty of the car thefts as well as the more serious charges that the federal authorities are to press against him. It seems that Cawthor was employed at the same place as young Rhoden and that under the baneful influence ne was innocent or any part m their affair. ; The young woman in the case was held here with her companion at the county jail for the federal authorities iand seemed very much smitten with I Cawthor altho she was aware of the jfaCt tnat he had. a wife and children charges of violating the Mann act. JOYS OF AUTO TRAVELING From Monday's DaJly Late Saturday night Sheriff . Stew art was called out to the vicinity of the Glenn Vallery farm, north of this city on the K. of T. highway, by the report that an auto party of strangers were stopping along the highway near the farm and their actions had aroused the eusuicions of residents there as to the motives of the party and the call made for the sheriff. On the arrival of the sheriff four young men found reposing in a very delapitated and ancient vintage of the well known Detroit fliver that is so familiar around the junk piles, and which was able to travel and that is about all. The party were aroused and questioned as to their stopping at this point and the men stated that they had purchased the car at Omaha Saturday for the sum of $20 and had decided to start out and see the world from the highway. Among other things that were miss ing from their tin chariot that other w-ell regulated cars have, was lights, and this fact had caused the party to stop for the night rather than to drive on into town and perhaps get into trouble for they had made the stop on top of the steep hill as they figured that in the morning they could get the old boat going down the incline and be sure of getting under way without any un due difficulty. The sheriff decided that it would be best to place the party off the highway and accordingly they were brought on into this city and lodg ed for the night In the city jail for a free flop and to save them from the exposure of the late evening air and assure the residents along the highway that they would not be bothered by the visitors. Sunday morning amid many puffs and snorts the tin giant was started and the travelers hit the dust for the south toget as far as possible before night came on them again. C. L.

The result of the primary elec tion in Cass county yesterday was watched with a great deal of inter est all over the county and espec ially in the contests that marked the republican battle for sheriff, re gister of deeds, representative and treasurer, and the vote cast in the republican primary far overshadowed that of their democratic bretheran in all parts of the county. The contest for sheriff which had been watched with unusual interest as there was five candidates for the nomination, lay between Bert Reed of Weeping Water and Sheriff E. P. Stewart and with victory perching on the banner of tile Weeping Water candidate who was nominated by a plurality of from 150 to 170. In the western and southwestern parts of the county Mr. Reed received a large vote and his opponents prac tically nothing and which gave him a lead that his opponent was un able to overcome in his pluralities in Plattsmouth and the eastern sections of the county. In the city of Weep ing Water Reed received 174, Ste wart 13, Wolf, 4, and Burdick 3, while Stove Creek and Elmwood also added to the Reed victory by giving him 161, Stewart 31, Wolff, 7, Bur dick 4 and Hendricksen, 3.

In the representative race Troy Davis of Weeping Water was well out in front even in the first returns and tiwh James A. Gardner editor of the Eagle Beacon second while Carl Ganz of Alvo was the third in the triangle. In the eastern and northern portions of the county the contest was between Davis and Gard ner while in the western part Ganz received a very fine vote but which did not place him in the list of the winners.

Cause and Effect! Only a strong bank can hold the confidence of its community and only a bank which does com mand confidence can continue to grow stronger. The present strength of The Firs t National Bank is both a reason for and a result of the public's confidence in this institution. The First NnoNAL Bank THE BANK WHgRE YOU FBEL AT HOMe PLATTSMOUTH TT NEBRASKA, Sale of Buick Car by Sheriff Attracts Crowd Sale of Car Taken Here Under Charge of Booze Transportation Sold for $1,525. From Tuesday's Da.!!y The sale by Sheriff Stewart of the Buick brougham taken as the prop erty of Mrs. Bota Harpster on a charge of transportation of liquor, vied today with the Interest in the primary election drew out a very large number of onlookers as well as bidders for the car. The car was sold to Mrs. Chris Metzger of Omaha, who paid the sum of $1,525 for the car and will enjoy a real bargain as the car is of the very latest type and splendidly equipped for comfort nd peasure. The receipts from the sale of the car will be placed in the custody of the sheriff and deposited to await the outcome of the suit that has been started by the Nebraska City Na tional bank, holders of a mortgage on the car who seek to have their Interests protected in the matter. The case was heard here and the application of the bank for an in junction against the 6ale of the car was denied by the court and the sheriff allowed to go ahead with the sale of the car and the matter will undoubtedly be taken to the supreme court for a determination of the law points that were raised by the at torneys for the bank. The representatives of the bank have raised the question of the con stitutionality of the provision of the law under which the car was taken, claiming that the recent enactment of the "pint" law superceded the section that prvoided of liquor for the confiscation of the cars used in the transportation of liquor or in which liquor might be found by the offi cers.
