From Wednesday's Daily
The annual meeting of the board
of county commissioners at the court
house yesterday was filled with a
great deal of business in connection
with the opening of the year's busi
ness that will be handled by the
county in 1927.
The Cass County Farm bureau
made their report of the expenditures
for the year 1926 as $3,500 and also
the sum of $3,500 for the use of the
bureau for 1927.
The county board in selecting a
member of the soldier's relief com
mission, took recognition of the
world war veterans by naming for
the position on the commission
Joseph A. Capwell of this city. Mr
Capwell has had a great deal of
claims of the veterans of the civil
war to handle and has been more
than usually successful in this line
of work and is familiar with the
needs of the veterans and the war
widows, who are looked after through
the commission. The advanced age
of the civil war veterans has made
it difficult for them to carry on the
activities of the commission to a
great extent, especially in this part
of the county.
The petition of the residents of
; Eight Mile Grove precinct was re
ceiveu asking for the granting or a
license to S. J. Reams to operate a
pool hall at Cedar Creek and was
granted by the board.
I The commissioners also set the
; price for county road work and drag
ging as follows: Road overseer, 35
per hour; man, single hand. 30c
team, 20c; man and team, 45c; 11
foot drag, or over, 80c per mile; 10
foot drag, 75c per mile; S foot drag,
per mile, 65c! under 8 feet, 50c per
, mile.
j There was no change made in the
'estimate for the clerk hire for the
j county officers for the year 1927.
I The request of the county assessor
jfor the sum of $200 for clerk hire
jfor the year was granted and the
(county assessor also named the asses-
j sors for Weeping Water and Platts
mouth cities as follows, Henry Snell
'Weeping Water; J. A. Pitz and
Joseph Hadraba, Plattsmouth.
The estimate for the expenditures
; for the year 1927 was adopted as
follows:
General fund $64,000
Bridge fund 50,000
Road fund 56,000
Mother's Pension 5,500
Soldier's Relief 1,200

ENJOYS PLEASANT MEETING
From Wednesday's Daily
The Woman's Business association
held a very pleasant meeting last
evening at the home of Mrs. Thomas
Walling on West Main street and
which was one of the most largely at
tended meetings of the winter season.
Tne business meeting was in charge
of Mrs. Ray McMaken and after the
close of the regular, session the ladies
spent some time in' enjoying cards,
From Wednesday's nally
This morning in the district court
an action was filed entitled Theodore
P. Livingston vs. George O. Dovey
and others, the action involving the
question of the ownership of a tract
of land in the province of Alberta,
Canada.
The petition asks that the defend
ants George O. Dovey, Hallie P.
Dovey, the First National bank and
Fred Buerstetta, receiver, be enjoin
ed from deeding, transfering or oth
erwise conveying the land in ques
tion known as the northwest quar
ter, section 16, township 23, range
22, all in the province of Alberta,
Canada.
The plaintiff states in the petition
that he had purchased the land years
ago and that at a later period the
defendant, G. O. Dovey had stated
that he could better look after the
payment of taxes and care of the farm
for the plaintiff if the same was
placed in the name of the defendant
by the" plaintiff. Plaintiff further
states that he had known the de
fendant Dovey for the lifetime of the
defendant and believing him to be
trustworthy, had made transfer to
the defendant without any money
consideration. Plaintiff further states
that he understands that the de
fendant Dovey now assumes to own
the said tract of land that'the plain
tiff claims, and has, or threatens to
convey the same to the First Na
tional bank. The plaintiff further
claims that the defendant has re
ceived the benefits of said land and
not the plaintiff. It is asked that the
conveyance to the defendant G. O.
Dovey be declared void and set aside
and the right of the plaintiff to the
land be restored.
The hearing of this suit for a res
training order and transfer of title
will be heard on Friday. January
